    If you could see one last Corrales fight..

    Who would you want to see him face?

    I saw Corrales vs Popo last night on ESPNclassic and It got me thinking about this..the dude has such heart and for me is what boxing is all about. Heart,talent, & skills. Tought guy left us way too soon.

          If you're talking the same Corrales who fought Clottey? None. Corrales is favorite of mine, but he was done for in boxing before his death. He was way out of his natural weight class, weighing in against Clottey at 149lbs. His best weight was 130, even at 135, his pop was slightly diminished. Anything above 135lbs, and his pop would be severely diminished.

          If he'd have fought someone as skilled as Pacquiao, or Marquez at something like 135lbs it would've just been another loss on his record. The first Castillo fight really took it's toll on both men. And there's no need to taint that record anymore.

          If you're talking a prime version of Corrales? I'd like to see the 130lbs version of Corrales stacked up against the 130lbs version of Pacquiao. I think Chico would've walked through the old version of Pac with extreme ease. Too damn big, too damn strong, and too damn dangerous.

          I still miss that guy.

            Prime Corrales versus Katsidis or Diaz or even Manny Pac would hav been brilliant! At 147 i think he was finnished
