Diego Corales Had More Than One Great Fight!

[Code Red]

I don't like that Chico only gets brought up in regards to his stellar performance against Castillo. Yes it was an all time great fight or at the least greatest comeback of all time.

Chico, however, should be remembered for more than that 1 night against Castillo. What about his performance over Robert Garcia, stopped him and turned him into a trainer. Or when he tko'd the slick and hard punching Frietas? His lightweight record and knockouts had ranked even higher than Mayweather at one point.

Also who could miss his battles with Joel Casamayor who I feel was his truest rival. Even his beat down at the hands of Floyd Mayweather was great in the sense he refused to quit even after being knocked down 5 times.

Boxing misses Chico and it's cool he's thought and written about often but as boxing fans can we recognize his legacy is more than just Castillo?

Yeah, I agree.. Chico had a lot of entertaining fights, win or lose

Casamoyer 3 times
Freitas
Castillo twice
Garcia

Would have loved to seen him fight Hatton or gatti

the casuals only know about the castillo fight but chico has been im memorable fights long before that..

The first casmayor fight was what got me hooked on Chico corrales. Dude was getting lit up when out of nowhere, he unleashed a check hook that put casa on his ass. From what i remember, chico suffered a freak accident inside his mouth just when the tide was turning in his favor. He was begging and begging to fight on .. what a warrior

Or what about that time when he scored a come from behind KO against an undefeated Freitas.

Chico!!!!!!!!
