    Chico vs Tszyu????

    November 22, 2004 - Sources very close to the situation have informed that Diego “Chico” Corrales’ next opponent could be Kostya Tszyu. Both have just come off big wins, and both have their teams in contact with each other to discuss the When’s, Where’s, and How Much for their fight. When asked about this Corrales confirmed that talks were in fact going on, and that it would probably take place at the junior welterweight level.

    Chico's a warrior that's for sure, but stepping in the ring with Tszyu is dicing with death. Tszyu's body shots will snap chico in half. If mayweather can drop Corales then Tszyu will drop him easy. I just don't see Corales being able to escape Tszyu's accurate punches.

      I sincerely hope THAT FIGHT does not happen.

      I respect both and favor KT


      but this is an all risk but little reward fight,


      Diego was stopped by two smaller guys in Casamayor (cut or no cut and towel or no towel)


      KT doesn't need this fight

        I definitely think that Tszyu doesn't need this fight, but if it's for Corrales' titles also..that'd be good. Tszyu by fifth or sixth round knockout..maybe..maybe later.

          I believe this is a different Chico than we've seen in the past. Most people didn't think he'd get past Casamayor in the second fight nor that he'd get passed Freitas. The truth of the matter is that Chico is much better now than when he faced PBF and he can take over the 135 division with ease. He needs to look for fights at 140 and Zoo is a great start. I believe that Zoo wins this fight (a fight that won't go the distance no matter who wins) but Chico has a GREAT chance of pulling it out. As a matter of fact, if Chico faced PBF at 140 my money would be on Chico.

          I see Zoo pulling out a 7th round KO but if Chico can take his power (and I'm almost sure he can) then he will KO Zoo if it goes past 7. So, I call it for Zoo but I'm not surprised if Chico wins. Very close fight.

          BTW, a very good friend of mine once asked me who the best middleweight in the world was. When I said B-Hop he told me that it was Chico Corrales. He has a point.

              This is one of the silliest and least marketable fights for either fighters. I Chico wants to move up to 140 he ought to get himself rated against any of the mid-level 140 lb fighters and then go for the rematch with Floyd. This matchup is Tzyuicide.

                  I think I agree with what you're saying...That is, if I'm reading what you said correctly. I don't mean to sound like a snot, but are you typing drunk? Because I can't help but notice that your spelling has suffered since your last post.
