    tough one to pick...

    if i HAD to pick overall p4p i would have to go with diego. but its tough to say cuz i think hatton would beat diego at 140, but diego could catch hatton with a good punch so its really a 50/50. i dono i pick diego.

      Ricky has also proven to be unable to adjust at times, but in terms of attributes i would say it breaks down like this.


      Coralles:
      Heart A+
      Boxing skill B
      Power A
      Chin C
      Ring generalship c+
      stamina A


      Hatton:
      Heart A
      Boxing skill C+
      Power B
      Chin A
      Ring generalship B+
      stamina A-


      I think Hatton edges out Corrales, of course their styles are completely different!
      Your exactly right about Diego giving up all his advantages and fighting on the inside. I'd highly favor Hatton if they were to ever fight at 140. Diego would stand on the inside W/ him and negate all his advantages.

        Corrales was a great talent, but he had really bad defense.

        Look at his wars with Roberto Garcia, Justin Jukko for proof.

            I gotta go with Hatton on this one. I think the pressure Hatton would apply would have been too much for Corrales. Then you have Corrales suspect chin as well.

              Nevermind I swear the title said Corrales and Castillo. But overall skill wise Diego was better than Hatton.

                Diego could throw huge punches but he was chinny and should have lost to Castillo in their first fight.

                  Hatton because he has better command of the ring, Corrales was an inside fighter and was often lured into a brawl which wasn't always a problem because of the power he carried in both hands but he didn't use his reach, height to his advantage always. Hatton has the chin, the immense body punching which i think will be a large factor in the fight tonight especially if he can do the "educated pressure" thing. The speed is pretty even, Hatton's defense while above average isn't suberb Corrales offense was his defense which Mayweather took advantage of. Hatton. R.I.P Corrales. Heart goes to Corrales I've never seen Hatton have to dig too deep to come back to win.

                      I was expecting MAJOR problems for FMJ.
                      and no chin?
