    *I have to agree..if Corrales isn't great, then who is? How many fight of the year fights was he in? two or three... Corrales was no Gatti, Corrales had talent....

    JMM isn't a ****ing lock to beat Corrales. Nor anywhere close to it.

    Sentimentality is getting the better of you.

    JMM would school Corrales...Maybe not as dominant as Floyd did, but school him regardless...JMM is much more skilled, and has just as much heart and a warrior spirit.


    As for the thread, he was a very good fighter, but nowhere near as great as some of the *****'s make him out to be.

    Castillo and Corrales would have been handfuls for Marquez at 135.

    Don't ****ing disrespect Corrales and think you're somehow bumping up Pac. Pacquiao's legacy and skills can stand on it's own ten toes without trying to tear down Chico Corrales.

    re JMM, Chico would be far bigger come fight night. Castillo, Casa and Chico are all close enough in talent level to beat any SFW or JLW on any given night, including JMM, and styles make fights.
