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

fan of both. these guys definitely can knock each others out, but i'm giving pac an edge due his speed and footwork. plus chico doesn't have a good chin (but with a very big heart).

 

Pac has been stunned a few times by hard clean shots but as mentioned he hasn't been knocked down in ten years or so that I recall and he's always covered up and regained his senses very fast. His two early career KO losses came when he was severely weight drained and one of those was probably a low blow. There's no reason to think Diego would have much chance at a KO. Maybe Diego could win by kicking Manny's ass all over the ring like Morales did but there's little reason to think Manny would get KO'd. It would be a war for as long as it lasted and the most likely result is Diego being KO'd.

 

I remember on FNF after the 2nd pac/morales fight, Brian Kenny asked Chico would he like to fight Pacman, Chico took a deep breath and smiled widely, even he knew it would of been a great fight. R.I.P

Such a shame though that Mab ducked Pac when he was the champion and only took the rematch when he had nothing to lose. If Pac finished business at 130 earlier the Chico fight could of happened.

 

Pac was beaten by an old Morales at 130, and Larios had his moments against him. Pac was a monster at 130 alright, but not the monster he's been at 140. Chico would definitely be in this fight, with a chance to win it. Chico and Casa get horribly underrated around here.

 

MAB has a deeeep resume and never ducked anyone in his life. His first fight at 130 was Morales, he took a tuneup against Fana, picked up the belts against Peden, then got matched up against Rocky Juarez twice and went to JMM and Pac from there. That's a hell of a series of fights for someone 'ducking' people at 130.

 

why not fight pac in a immediate rematch?...to avenge his worst loss just like he did with jones?....he ducked pac alright....

 

Well without researching it, I would say it's because he learned his lesson about immediate rematches with Jr. Jones and he didn't think he was ready. I don't remember all the backroom **** from 8 yrs ago, but a look at his resume should be enough for you to show some respect for MAB.

 

i have mad respect for mab specially when he toyed hamed from pillar to post...but bottomline is he ducked pac on an immediate rematch....he knew he cant deal with pac and a loss would be the end...

 

He fought someone else. Did he duck everyone in the world he didn't fight immediately after Manny? Was he ducking ME? Is Pacquiao the only fight he was allowed to take? Was Manny calling him out or was he moving on? WTF man... do you just take EVERY opportunity to **** on a fighter you 'respect'? Was Ali ducking Frazier because he didn't fight him for three years after the first loss?

 

Pacman would probably KO Diego
