Deigo Corrales v Arturo Gatti at 135

wow, what a war.

I'd give the edge to chico to KO gatti around 7 or 8 after being seriously hurt/dropped early.

 

Gatti was all myth and hype. I think he is up there with Gomez from contender as far as skill goes. no way he trades with Corrales and gets away with it

 

at 135 :huh :huh
corrales was chinny as **** at 130-135, gatti had the power to hurt any man at that weight, especially a weight drained chico......plus gatti had superior head and waist movement compared to the late and great chico corrales.....

 

What did Gatti ever do at 135?

Gatti would have a puncher's chance, but you can say that about a lot of fighters.

Gatti wasn't a difficult person to cut or hurt (finishing is a different story), and Corrales would catch him often. Chico's punches were just straighter and shorter.

 

nothing,
but at 140 gatti showed a true chin...i dont see how chico would've just ko'd him quick.....i mean, i aint saying it's a for sure thing that gatti would win, but i can see gatti using his movement while hooking with corrales from the outside....longer arms win in this one :yep

 

They're both measured as having wingspans of 80 inches.

Gatti showed terrific punch resistance from 130 thru 140 I think. It was weird, it was like he was initially easy to hurt, as he seemed to get dropped or hurt fairly easy in the early going, often by guys not being big punchers. But once he started taking them, it was like he got accustomed to it and you couldn't put him back down.

 

really, i find that hard to believe about the arm lenght....maybe that's 2 of corrales' to gatti's one

 

No way, maybe 70. 80 would be like Klitschko.

 

You're right, 70".

According to boxrec

 

All myth!!! Your a newb. Dream fight, Chico's killer instinct and sense of show could have driven him in a beaten up Gatti surprisingly powerfull left hook. From then on there could have been a few knock downs on both parts with the luckier man winning in the end.

Would have ended up being one of the best triologie of all time.

 

The fans would win I know that much these guys have balls on top of balls. Both men are involved in some of the most dramatic come from behind KOs in history. I believe Corrales is probablly a class above Gatti but he lacks a strong chin and Gatti does own a powerful POWERFUL left hook that man can have his eyes swollen shots and KO you with a left hook even its broken.

 

prime 4 prime @135 diego will tko(brutal stoppage) as referee would jump in to save gatti

 

Corrales would have absoloutely murdered Gatti!

 

This is a toss-up fight. Diego had better skills and both guys could bang and had one-punch KO power at 135. Gatti's chin was a bit better too, but he cuts up real easily.

That being said, Chico makes the fight harder by deciding to brawl instead of box. He drops Gatti and looks to finish only to get caught and stopped by Gatti....

50-50 fight on any given night between these two bangers.

 

I thought you where smarter then that but obviously not cause Gatti is far above Gomezs level atleast the prime verison was. He wouldnt own 2 wins of Tracis Harris Patterson,Wilson Rodriguez,Gabriel Ruleas,Leo Dorin,Jesse James Leija. **** Thomas Damgaard aint much and has a weak resume but outside of Gatti hes never lost and Gatti well above his best weight class KOed Damgaard with his broken right hand.
