If Diego Corrales was still alive, where would he be right now? No Disrespect

Corrales would have been fighting at WW a weight he clearly doesn't belong in. He couldn't even make Jr WW.

he would most likely be too big for 135 at this stage. probably get in the mix somewhere at 140, maybe even 147 (the guy was huge). but u never know. all i know is he wouldve given us some more memorable wars. RIP chico.

Unfortunately, I don't think he would ever be on top again. Probably fighting on ESPN or maybe HBO for free.

Oh yeah he would probably be at 147 or lower, because his last trainer, Woods, asked him if he wanted to move down. But he had so much weight trouble.

That guy was a huge SFW, I don't know about him being a huge Jr WW. He'd of taken over 140, I'll tell you that much.

He was past it by the time of his last fight wit Clottey. No way he'd still be active now, at least not at the top level.

Probably not doing too well, although maybe he could've got down to 140 and made some noise there.

He was declining and took a pretty bad hammering from Clottey in his last fight.

with proper management he might be able to get himself a belt at 140 if he could make the weight imo. or maybe hed just be like gatekeeper status, which would be sad to see.

I think he would have given us Castillo - Corrales III at Welterweight, to be honest.

So many wars, like Gatti and Castillo, he'd given too much to the ring, fighting the way he did
