How would Chico Corrales at his prime fair against the current champions at 130?

[Malvado]

Diego "Chico" Corrales had a record of (40-5, 33 KOs), he had 9 major title fights (7-2, 5 KOs) before he died in a vehicle accident. He had wins over fighters with records of:

-Robert Garcia (32-0)
-Derrick Gainer (33-4)
-Angel Manfredy (34-4-1)
-Joel Casamayor (31-1)
-Acelino Freitas (35-0)
-Jose Luis Castillo (54-6)



How would he fair against Lamont Roach, Joe Cordina, O'shaquie Foster and Emmanuel Navarrete.

I think Navarrete's hand speed shouldn't be much of a disadvantage considering Chico Corrales was pretty hittable and he himself wasn't the fastest puncher in his era.

However Corrales always had an answer for any style forcing his opponent to make it a 50/50 fight, whether he had to cut the ring with a pure boxer like Casamayor or outpunch a pressure fighter like Freitas. (or a counter puncher like Castillo) I think his long reach coupled with his knockout power might just be too much for Vaquero who had difficulties avoiding getting caught with Conceicao's reach and boxing ability. (Who stands at 5'10 with a reach 70 in, same as Chico Corrales). O'shaquie was getting hit by Rocky Hernandez often as well.

You can only hope to outperform him in the pocket, and I don't think most of champs have the skill to do so outside of Shakur.
