i think manny would win by default no way theyd let a dead man fight.

Corrales is too slow and has an extremely weak chin.

All Pac has to do is box circles. use movement and feints.

Corrales' reach will even be a detriment if he's slow as he will get rocked.

Corrales style fits best against fighters who stand toe to toe with him.

My first thought was that Pacquiaos speed and boxing ability would win it for him. However, then i realised the size difference between them, Diego would tower over him..

So i am split..

I will say Manny by decision, It's a fight i would have loved to see!

1. His chin is weak not extremely weak.
2. Diego always gets up
3. Who can beat Diego in the inside at 135??

Corrales by stoppage, he is long, strong, and faster than given credit for.
Manny put on a good preformance against David Diaz, a brawler with a decent chin and heart, but little skill. People are getting way to worked up over a vicory against a guy that I was confused Manny "p4p" Pacquiao was fighting in the first place.

Diego didn't fight tall though and didn't have very long reach for his height. Lets not forget that Diego lost 3 fights in a row while still in his 20's. May he RIP, but Pac takes this one, too fast and too much firepower.

Corrales would have been the same fighter if he was 5'7", it's not like he had long arms or used his jab. I don't think size is a big issue, both weigh near the same weight during fight night.

Corrales was troubled by Casamayor's straight left and demolished by Mayweather's speed, so I think Manny can present some major problems for Corrales's questionable chin. Corrales has devastating power in those short looping shots, so I would never count him out, but I think Manny wins 8 out of 10 times.
