Diego Corrales vs Arturo Gatti

[studentofthegam]

I go with Gatti in a late stoppage. I think Gatti was way more disciplined and has more power late. I see Arturo stunning him and finishing him in the 12th. I also think Corrales had the lesser beard.

corrales vs freites should give you a hint of how this fight would go but gatti wouldnt give up. freites had an almost identacle boxing style to gatti but he wouldnt dig in and fight like gatti when it got tough.
i think gatti would outbox him in the early rounds but by rounds 8 or 9 they would go to war and from there its anybodys fight but i would be leaning towards gatti by late stoppage

Corrales by TKO but Gatti would have his moments.

yep cuz gatti fights identical to pernell whitaker and his defense would be too much for chico

I think this could turn out like Gatti against Manfredy. Corrales is tall, punched with power and knew how to get leverage especially when his opponent was squared up. Gatti was a decent boxer when he wanted to be but Corrales wasn't necessarily bad at cutting off the ring (minus against Floyd but Floyd was at his peak). He was able to catch up to Freitas and Gatti was easily lured into shootouts. Thats bad news.

good point about corrales and freites, thats why i thought they would go to war later on in the fight but corrales didnt fight anything like manfredy and even if he did gatti was catching up to manfredy when they stopped the fight due to that horrible cut so i dont think it would look much like gatti manfredy. i think it would look more like corrales freites but gatti wouldnt quit. so in the early rounds i think it would be an ok boxing exhibition (not great) by gatti but later i think corrales would make it a toe to toe battle which is something gatti was always wanting to do and both guys were pretty good at that kind of fight with a not so good defense so down the stretch it would be a slug fest and i give gatti a slight edge there mainly cuz his body work. but corrales was definatly the crisper puncher so it would be a real great fight

crazy fight this would be. Just back and forth untill the ref stops it due to bad cuts on gattis face. corrales by tko

Everyone has a different opinion. That's why this would of been a hell of a fight.

the great thing is thet nobody is talking trash about either fighter.
thats cuz both were the kind of guy thet gave us everything they had and asked for nothing in return. it would be a great fight and the biggest winner would've been the fans. these are my 2 all time favorite fighter cuz the way they left everything they had in the ring everytime they steped into it.
