Manny Pacquiao vs. Diego Corrales at their primes. Who wins?

Their both fast and can stick and move, difference is Pac throws about 3* more punches 3* harder, hence much more devastating. Corrales style and chin is made for Pac, Castillo would give Pac a much tougher time.

 

And vice versa, Pac is made for Chico. They would both come together and throw bombs until someone falls down. Pac is NOT going to circle the ring potshotting and staying out of danger like PBF did. It's just not going to happen. I give the edge to Pac because of greater handspeed, but not a huge edge. If Chico catches him clean and hurts him, he's more than capable of getting him out of there.

Re Castillo, I make it about the same as a fight with Corrales. Maybe Corrales is a little tougher fight for Pac because JLC was so reliant on that left hook, where Chico would bomb away with both hands.

 

Hey don't say that! *****S will attack you! :rofl

 

When Diego was the man in his dyas, it would have been a mismatch. Chicco was no joke.

 

same here

 

Pac punches travel a lot faster and comes in combinations. Castillo was landing at will on Corrales, Pac will be landing double the amount at double the speed. I can see Pac just landing a big shot slipping and ducking Corrales shots. Pac took Cotto's shots, he will take Corrales. Clottey fought both Corrales & Cotto, ask him who he thinks hits harder.

BTW, Pac can outbrawl this guy or outbox this guy. He chose to box dela hoya & Diaz, if he feels Corrales hits hard, he will try outbox him easy.

 

JLC was getting hit as often as he was landing his own shots, neither man gave a flying **** for defense in that fight. Yes, I can see Pac landing and slipping. I can also see Chico landing that straight right and wobbling Pac, then going after him like a madman. If you're counting Chico completely out of a fight with ANYONE who will brawl with him at 130 or 135 (his prime weights) then you don't know enough about Chico to give an opinion.

Clottey was at 147, Chico jumped several weight classes and took on one of the toughest welterweights on the planet in his very first fight at the weight, which was a mistake. If he was going to move up that far, he should have had a few soft touches to get acclimated before taking on the toughest guy he could find, but that's just how Chico rolled.

 

It pains me to say it as a Casamayor fan but Chico was overrated! He was a very big SFW and LW but his boxing skills were average. Prime Manny would kill him.

 

I think Pac would stand a great chance to get his azz knocked out. Pac has the speed advantage in this one, but he is very hittable and his chin is average. I think they would both hit the deck a few times.

 

I'd pick Pacquiao to stop Corrales.

 

As much as I loved watching Corrales fight, Pac would honestly walk right through him. It would be a brutal knockout, and it would have been early.

 

not an easy fight for bought. we all know how chicos heart is. Pac is fast but it only takes 1 hit from chico and its game over for pac. As always, I think its a bigger challenge for pac more than chico. 1 question is have we really seen pacs prime?

 

What weight class?

I'd take Pac above 140 pounds and Chico at 130-135 pounds.

Well it's tough for me to say that because I don't think Chico was prime at 140+. Chico was really good at 130 where I think Pac was just good. I think Pac was better at 22, 26 and he seems to be better now at 140+.

I think I'd favor Pac because Chico was sometimes too willing to trade at his own expense and I think Pac would eventually catch him and put him down in a barnburner. If Chico boxed like he did in the second fight with Casa, I think he wins a decision.

 

Yep, Pacquiao has just the style and ability to put Chico out hard.

 

How is Pac's chin only average? He was able to take Cotto's strongest hits without any sort of reaction. He hasn't been knocked out or hell even down in how long now? I mean if Pac's chin is average what would it take to be ****ing good?
