**2001 Diego Corrales vs 2007 Manny Pacquiao @130**

Ok and I am not dis*****g those facts at all. He also beat Ledwaba on 3 week notice which is such an underrated win in this boards. Some of them forget how good Ledwaba was. And, how highly touted he was at the time...

But, Pac would NOT have beaten Corrales with just the left hand. Pac prior 2007 does not beat Corrales. Now post 2007 I can see a case being made. Because he had better balance, improved defense and now a right hand that was just as dangerous as the left

barrera, morales and marquez >>> coralles

Im going to go out on a limb and say that I honeslty think people only seen Corralles fight Floyd.

In 2001, I've only seen Corrales fight Floyd.

Yes, because us boxing fans definitely missed Corrales big fight against Castillo.

manny can never win fantasy fight on here on nsb...


coralles > manny? lmao @ these clowns

[DARKSEID]

I think 2001 chico has the edge because of his size, determination, and his ability to beat fighters who aren't scared to get hit and fight toe to toe.

Also, manny pacquiao is very weak in the pocket and chico had some monster short hooks and uppercuts on the inside.

And 2007 Manny was very 1 dimensional and didn't have anywhere near as much ring generalship as he does now.

Anything could have happened though.. this is boxing. On any given night I think either one could have knocked out the other.. Still I give the edge to 2001 Chico.

The reason why Packy is a ATG and Fighter Of The Decade: Corrales was a big 130lbs in 2001 while Pacquiao was a 122lbrs. Pac moved all the way up to 147lbs where Corrales can't even hold a candle there. Packy is doing the impossible ( E Stewart said Pac has no business at 147 but he's so great he's beating guys there ).

Some people don't have the athleticism to move up in weight. Who is to say Corrales wouldn't have been dominant at Jr WW? He was clearly out of his element at 147.

That is an understatement Dom.

I think Corrales at 130 beats all of them... But, P4P those 3 were greater than Corrales.

Jrosales your're wasting your time with Pacman777.

He started watching boxing in 2008 and had no idea who Floyd was as of May 2, 2009.

just started watching boxing like a year ago, was not around during the mayweather time. was wondering why people call him a *****. i mean i watch some youtube clips of him and the hatton fight, guy seems legit
