why hasn't Corley-Mitchell happened?

[DiegoFuego]

I heard these guys HATE each other with a passion. They're both from D.C., they're both southpaws, they've both been beaten down by the better opposition at 140 and 147, AND they both wear skirts. This fight HAS to happen in 06!!!!

[DiegoFuego]

COME ON, I know you all wanna see this as bad as I do. I'll tell you one thing. I'd rather watch THIS than Roy-Hopkins II or Vargas-Mosley, and I'm not even kidding about that.

only someone who has been a prisoner or war for 5 years would want to see jones/hopkins 2. any matchup between any two members of my family would be a much more exciting fight.

Demarcus Corley is like the William Joppy of the welterweight division (or jr welter). They are good enough to beat most fighters but lose to all the names on their resumes

Unfortunately, I would, too. Sharmba has gotten pounded every time he's fought a championship-caliber fighter, and Corley's no more than a contender. I can think of hundreds of fights I'd rather see, but I'd probably still watch it.

i actually think corely could win a belt @ 135

You just want to see two guys fight in skirts .

But seriously, I would have picked Mitchell a few years back, I'm not sure now. Mitchell hasn't necessarily looked really bad but moving up in weight and losing 2 in a row probably isn't keeping him young.

[DiegoFuego]

point is they HATE each other. let's see them take out their frustrations in the ring. i could see Mitchell winning on points and taunting Corley before BAM! Chop Chop knocks him out

Corley would get beaten handily by Corrales or Castillo, the two best fighters at 135. I don't think Corley could handle the elite. Likening him to William Joppy is a very good analogy. He is no more than a tune-up fighter in my eyes. I don't think he could beat Mitchell, either.
