    if u want a fight with skill and brawling at the same time check out the best fight ever.morales vs Barrera 1..but between both fights i just believe that castillo and corrales was more brutal and more even of a fight.........hagler vs hearns was 1 great round and the rest is just a beat down......i saw both fights as just fights and not thinking about their greatness and fight per fight castillo vs Corrales was better...

      Yes, I have been in the ring. I had little success, but still love the game. I spar and that's it. I workout light one or two days a week.

      I can fully appreciate what Castillo-Coralles gave us. It was an awesome display of inside work. Corrales did not have to choose that style, because he can be effective at a distance. Many fight fans probably thought Coralles lost his mind when, in the early rounds, it was obvious that he was content to stay close. You have to admit, going into this fight, that Castillo would be favoured if the inside game was established? But, Coralles showed us he can fight Castillo's fight, and do it well.

      At the end of the night, it was 10 rounds of the same stuff, by two guys with heavy hands and lots of chin, ****ing on each other, slipping punches. A very good inside offensive and defensive show. I appreciate what they gave us, but it was by no means a classic.

        Wow not a classic? You are hard man to please munn, I guess their names arent big enough for you considering they are in one of the toughest divisions and they both were talking on all comers. not to mention both guys are p4p material, everyone has a different opinion and I can respect that. trust me 20 years from now there will be people watching and talking about this fight.there will be people talking about the mouthpiece scenario and people talking about what a great come back Corrales put together. Something that the Hagler Hearns fight didnt have.

          exactly.

          hagler-hearns was pretty definitive, and short.

          corrales-castillo had what-ifs, had controversy, had action all the way through, etc.

          they're both classics...

          hagler-hearns is like a quickie with a supermodel that you'll never forget.

          corrales-castillo is like an all-nighter with the same supermodel that you'll never forget.

          i guess it all depends on your mood, but getting the crew together, and 10 minutes later the fight is over, hardly qualifies as "the greatest ever" to me.

          a fight like corrales-castillo which had action all the way thru, for 10 rounds, and people STILL argue about the corrales mouthpiece ****, about the castillo low blows, about the referee, about the rematch...that qualifies...

            Fair enough dude!

              I dont understand how the so called greatest fight of all time, was just three RD's long, that makes boxing seem alittle sucky, dont ya think? Corrales/Castillo was good, but his fights with Casamayor was better, the three knockdowns at the end made it kinda overrated, all they did was stand in one place and trade, they were hardly boxing. Corrales just wanted to have a Mexican fight, or esle it wouldnt of gone so far as it did.

                Even though coralles/castillo match had a lot of knockdowns, the hagler/herns fight is considered to be the best 3 rounds in boxing history. And on top of that. hagler/hearns are considered 2 of the best middleweight in history. The action with in those 3 rounds was worth it.

                      Now that's a good perspective. Except, mentioning Hagler, Hearns, Castillo or Coralles in the same sentence where I'm "doing" the 1990 version of Claudia Schiffer, is kinda' weird.
