Diego Corrales vs Arturo Gatti @ 135lbs

[The Gambler1981]

I think Corrales would wreck him, it would be a tough fight but Corrales has alot of the same attributes as Gatti but is the more devastating fighter.

Gatti could box a bit but not good enough to keep Corrales from hitting him consistently then it is only a matter of time.

Casmayor was able to hurt Corrales multiple times.

I think Gatti hits a lot harder.

I also this think he hits harder than Castillo.

All I have to say is Mickey Ward.

Corrales was a better fighter, had every advantage. He'd stop Gatti by the 7th.

I think Gatti equals him in power and has a better chin.

Corrales didn't use his reach well.

Love Arturo to death but I see him taking horrible punishment in this fight and getting stopped in the mid to late rounds. Just too many advantages for Corrales, who was tough as nails himself. A brawler with great boxing ability - not a good matchup for Arturo.

What about Ward?

Tough dude with a tough style.

And a hell of a left hook to the body.

Corrales stops Gatti in an action-packed fight. Gatti will have his moments but Corrales takes this....They probably hangin out right now.

i think gatti could finish him in 8 by staying on the inside

Corrales would destroy Gatti on the inside. Chico was way more skilled on fighting on the inside. Corrales was one of the more refined in-fighters in recent years. Gatti was more of a mid range guy.

Corrales would bust Gatti up. I don't like Arturo's chances at all, for the main reason that his shots were so much wider than Corrales's shots. Gatti had power, especially in that left hook, but it was a wide winging hook. Corrales threw short punches that travelled less distance. His combos were quicker, shorter, and crisper. He'd beat Gatti to the punch consistently because of this.

Gatti would have some success boxing and using movement, but as soon as he got tagged (and this wouldn't take long), he'd go to war. And this is where he'd get destroyed by leaving himself so open.
