Was Corrales Hispanic or Black?

[The Texican]

I always wondered myself. Good question.

[NYCHeavyHitz]

I always wondered that. My guess was always that he was Mexican and Black since he was from California.

Corrales was born in Sacramento, California, the son of a Colombian father and Mexican mother, and had the sort of poor and sometimes violent upbringing that can create the toughest of fighters. Boxing was his escape from a life on the streets, and it was quickly clear that he had talent. As an amateur, he won 105 bouts and lost only 12; he turned professional in 1996, making his paid debut when he was 19-years-old.

you cant compare the two because a black person can be hispanic (myself)
and a hispanic person can be black

good examples: roberto clemente

sammy sosa

david ortiz

diego corrales

felix trinidad

Black is only a skin color while hispanic is a culture and a ancestral type thing



Its like how ***s are not considered people of the white race and are
often put into thier own category but in fact they are truly white just
claim a different religion
