    Diego Corrales at 140

    It has been said that if Diego Corrales beats Jose Luis Castillo again on October 8th that he wants to move up to 140 and challenge Ricky Hatton. How do you think he would do against the best at 140, specifically these three guys:

    Miguel Cotto
    Ricky Hatton
    Floyd Mayweather (rematch)

    I think he could take Cotto in a great technical fight, Hatton in a war and then lose again to Mayweather, but not as bad as he did the first time.

    Thoughts?

    I think Chico will KO Hatton or Cotto. But Mayweather will beat him again.

      I think it all depends on chico. He can box and give himself a better chance to use his power and height, or he can brawl with those guys and take a chance of getting knocked out with his shaky chin.

        i think corrales at 140,and beefed up to 147 on fightnight,would brawl threw hatton and cotto.

        he'd give mayweather fits.and all he has to do is slow mayweather down with body punches.then have his way with him.

        but then again i don't put too much weight on their first fight.

        corrales not having to dehydrate himself to make weight is going to be an advantage.and bulking up.more power.

            he has a stronger punch than any of those. I think he could beat hatton and cotto but would lose a UD to mayweather

              i just read an interview with chico and he's talking about staying down at 135 and fighting morrales and barrera and others.i forget which site that was on.

              i know he was planning on going up till he was told of the immediate rematch with castillo.

              i'd like to see him go up and fight a staybusy fight at 140 after castillo.then decide if he wants to go back down and make some descent money fights.

              at 140 he beats cotto and hatton.

              and would like to so him but the hell out of floyd.

                Oh yeah, that was it. The plan was beat Castillo, fight Morrales at 135, and then move up to 140.

                  I think Hatton has a shot but will be koed late and FLoyd will be hurt but still win.

                    beat hatton..because chico does not need alot of room to punch. And would lose to mayweather. Cotto is a fight that Im not sure how he would do. Cotto is a very big for a 140 pounder and could do very well vs corrales but who knows. What happens is chico connects?
