He beat Roberto Garcia (who was undefeated) and Angel Manfredy.
Now, I am not going to claim to know what was going on with that division back then, because I wasn't watching... however, HBO had one of those things where they say who are the top fighters in that division (during the Mayweather-G. Hernandez fight)... and they listed Genaro Hernanez, Roberto Garcia and Angel Manfredy.
Who was bigger in that division that he should have fought? G. Hernandez retired after the Mayweather fight.
A poll was conducted a while ago about whether Corrales was elite at 130, and it was overwhelmingly for yes.
