    I agree with your asessment, maybe not the outcome. I do think it's a MUCH tougher fight for Corrales than people think. Gattie was a fantastic fighter in his prime with an iron jaw. I think Corrales Jaw would have given in before Gatti's would have.

    I still think I would give the edge to Corrales but not by much.

      Corrales chin was made in china and Gatti had a good punch and an iron chaw at lightweight. Corrales would have been at least twice on the canvas.

        gatti was rather poor at lightweight in 1998.

        he's a live dog with his punch and chico's shaky chin, and gatti had some skills and movement when he used them (patterson), but gatti also throws wider shots. chico throws straighter, shorter shots and does them in terrific combination and excellent leverage.

        corrales stops gatti in the mid roudns.

          If Corrales were to try and brawl, then Gatti would have a chance. Which I think might have happened because Chico didn't back down and of course neither did Gatti. In the end of still think Corrales win's this one.

              Their common opponents are :
              Floyd Mayweather Jr, who TKO'd both.
              Angel Manfredy who beat Gatti but was knocked out by Corrales.

                  At lightweight I would give it to Corrales.

                  About a week before Corrales died my brother and I speculated about this fight taking place. It could have taken place at JWW or WW and it would have been a great payday for both and a great fight for the fans.

                    Man, great thread.
                    I think it would be a great fight, really. Man, hard for me to pick...
                    Aww **** it, I'm going to be a homer here, and say Corrales by a thrilling 10th round KO with a left hook.
                    Good K coming.

                      Man Sterling, I can't give you good K right now.
                      But when I can, you'll get it.
                      Good thread.
