Bobby Chacon vs Diego Corrales

Corrales by stoppage on cuts or decision.

He has all the physical advantages

He usually didn't use them enough, but his power and handspeed should be enough to easily penetrate Bobby's leaky defense.

He also had the heart and guts to match Bobby's.

Holy ****: I just noticed I posted in this thread in 2010 under my old username "Boza 81". I picked Corrales then, too. LOLL.

I agree. I'm taking the 5'10 powerpunching but flawed Corrales over the 5'5 Chacon. Yes Corrales has a penchant for plodding forward with no jab but his power was real. Schoolboy Chacon was no stranger to a firefight and I think this fight ends up with too many exchanges that allow Corrales to takeover and get a stoppage in the mid rounds. I see a similar style of fight to the Corrales v Roberto Garcia matchup , where Garcia tried to be smart and box with some success early but Chico's offense just too superior and ultimately Garcia got broken down in brutal fashion. Chico's inside left hook (which he doubles often to the body) and his straight right are all good weapons. Chico was a true dynamite puncher especially at 130. Chico is getting tagged in this fight, he always did but that was his forte.

I recently watched Chacon-Bazooka Limon 4 which was a great bout with big hard shots, I just don't think you can do that with Corrales, look what happened to Castillo in their first fight. Castillo was a monster at 135 and a superb inside fighter and he took huge amounts of damage from Corrales which few could take.
