Gatti vs Diego corrales @ lightwieght

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

people focus too much on gatti at the end... gatti at the beginning was a great boxer i think... not the technical savant of floyd.. but he was better than corrales who was an inside fighter more than anything... id go with a prime gatti

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.

[Thread Stealer]

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.

Yeh i came up with the idea when i was fighting gatti v corrales on fight night and it was a war lol.

[Crazy Dude]

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

[KILLA RIGHT]

WOW!2 Of my fav fighters of all time,i got goosebumps when i seen this no joke.It would of been one of the all time great fights.Would of been a trilogy with chico winning 2

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.

Who wins and how?
I think this would be a gd fight

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.

[Sweet Pea 50]

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