I'd say yes, with no real problem.
    Damn dude just give PBF his respect. He did not fight valiantly he was completely out classed and never should have even been in the ring with PBF the way that fight looked. How did he make the fight? All he did was get battered and abused from start to finish. Out of rounds the fight lasted Corrales only hit PBF with 10 punches in 1 round. Stop hatin on PBF.

    Corrales is not a Hall of Fame fighter to me he was a little above average and to me that along with a warriors heart shouldn't get you in the HOF.

        so u dont think tyson is hof??
        the youngest heavyweight champ of all time??


        yea i think chico is hof based on the opposition he faced and wins he was able to get
        to compare him to gatti is crazy
        Certainly a case could be made for Tyson going to the hall of fame on being the youngest Heavyweight champ ever and I would not dispute such a case. However when comparing Chico's record with Tyson's, there's no comparison. As far as in ring accomplishments go, Corrales has a far better resume IMO.

        And I agree with you on both of your other points as well. There is no rational way someone could compare Gatti to Corrales.

              Explain to me how I hated on Mayweather. I like Mayweather as a fighter. Chico got up after every knock down, and wanted more. How is that not brave?
