    I like Ray in a shootout. I think he was sturdier and physically stronger than Chico which serves him well in this matchup between two guys that always brought it. I think if Diego learned how to fight using his physical advantages, he would have had a much better career but then again, his style,heart and brawling nature is what made him so loved and what got him in the hall of fame.

    Mancini definitely. As mentioned Corrales didn’t know how to take advantage of his gifts.
