    I think Chico would have decapitated Hatton mostly because Corrales had a way better chin and he would have landed easily.

    i'll admit it would be a good fight but if chico can make him fight his fight, hatton is a dead man

    Hatton would break Chico's will. If he could walk through Tszyu he can walk through Corrales. People say 'fight Chico's fight', Chico loved to fight on the inside. Being taller I think Hatton would break him down to the body and win on points.

    I might agree, but i reckon there is a chance Corrales stops him still.

    Well , when I say ALL TIME, it doesn't mean all time greats . Through the many wars Ive seen Chico FIGHT he did exactly that, WAR ! I always thought Chico was kinda a late starter, he seemed to get better as the fight went on. He had the arm length to have had a menacing jab but never really relied on it . He defiantly would never disapoint anyone who was ready to watch a classic fight, because it seems that he has been in a few fights that are noteworthy of the term"classic". Jose Luis Castillo 1, Acelino Freitas,Joel Casamayor 2, .Corrales is one of my all time favorite punchers.
