Chico vs Arturo would have topped them all

[WetSexyLlamaPR]

Both fighters would've died from the sheer enkillenation. Everyone from the judges up till the 7th row would've died as well from the shock and horror and radiation sickness.

Last shot filmed by the HBO crew would show Lampley disembowling himself center ring with a samurai sword, Merchant shooting himself in the prostate with a .357 Magnum over a ring card girl while groping her breasts and Max attempting to slit his wrists, VERTICALLY with Merchant's razor sharp dentures.

Everyone else in the arena would lapse into lifetime lasting comas. All who watched the fight live on TV would suffer PTSD, depression, flashbacks, hallucinations and fall into despair.

77% of TV viewers would commit suicide by the first year anniversary of the fight.

The 23% hapless souls who were incapable of suicide would live lone, solitary lives. Society would cast them out for not doing the only humane thing after witnessing such a perverse, inhumane display.

Pariahs they would become... Driven mad by despair they would wander the lands not living but rather enduring in some vain attempt at reconciliation with existence itself. There's would be a story of darkness and doubt till the end of their days.

"And lo the boxing fan looked upon the Coralles-Gatti fight. And from that day forth... He was as one dead."

I see it being entertaining while it lasted, but still pretty one-sided in favor of Corrales.

Gatti starting out boxing and using his legs, but once Corrales lands some good shots, Gatti goes to war and throws bombs. Corrales's shorter, quicker, straighter shots that need to travel less distance doing the damage on Gatti, who throws wider winging punches.

I think Corrales wins this easily.


RIP

I agree, triangle theories don't work every time, but you could some what gauge the difference in their fights with Manfredy. Corrales had 1 punch power at 130 and 135 and I'm pretty sure he probably would have taken it up to 140 with him. Diego could get thrown off by constant lateral movement and pot shotting, but I find it difficult to see Arturo being able to keep that up for 12.

RIP 2 great warriors

Ok FIrst of all stop making them martyrs because their dead. Sure they were REALLY good fighters, and gave us good fights, but that was it.

And there's only 1 person worthy of blood and guts moniker

and that person is George S Patton JR.

so gets ur **** straight perro for once, i'd rather u keep making cotto hating threads than crap like this.

I don't know why you keep bashing Gatti since he died but you need to shut the **** up.

Keep nuthugging Cotto and let the real boxing fans talk.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Lets be honest Chico would have hurt Gatti bad. Chico was eee-lite, Gatti was very good but not elite. RIP both.

Many fans in here regard him an as incredible sportsman who they lost. They are sharing memories and their love for a warrior they hold true to their heart. One who was great for the sport.

You keep entering threads and saying **** to diffuse the situation and trying to belittle or questioning the regard they have for him. It was just not this thread, but many in the past 3 days. You may not share our enthusiasm, but stop trying to tell people they are wrong. Let us who want to share memories share them. If we consider him a great warrior and a great representative of the sport, it is our business.

I don't see it as a one sided fight. As chinny as Chico was, Gatti would've had the power to hurt him at any point in the fight. I would have loved to see this fight happen in '98 or '99 at 135. Boxers gave Gatti trouble and while Chico could box, he'd much rather go to war. That is when Gatti always had his greatest advantage, in a shootout. It would have been a great fight for as long as it lasted, another FOTY, guaranteed.
