Definately Corrales over Castillo in the first fight was more impressive than his fight with the gutless quitter Acelino Freitas. I dont care what anyone says...Freitas was winning that fight until he got tired and took some good shots late in the fight. He was never stunned earlier on...Corrales did what he had to do...he took some bombs, kept coming forward and fought. Corrales never quit.Comment

Hopkins over Trinidad.
I know Trinidad didn't really belong at 160 (although he did beat Joppy who was a legitimate middle), but this is still my favorite Hopkins win. Everyone said Hopkins would have to take the fight inside if he wanted to beat Tito, but Bernard won the fight on the outside, simply outboxing Trinidad. He arguably won every round of the fight. It wouldn't matter though, becuase Hopkins made sure the judges wouldn't be involved in the outcome. He dropped Tito to the canvas with a wicked right hand in the final round to seal the deal.
Oh yeah, I can still picture Hopkins walking to the ring to Ray Charles' 'America the Beautiful'. This fight took place in NYC only a few weeks after 9/11.Last edited by Ace Rockolla; 07-24-2007, 02:04 PM.Comment

One of the best ring entrances ever or at least one that always sticks out in my mind...Comment
