    Did Corrales have half the talent of prime Camacho Sr? Did he fight in anyway like him? Styles make fights Mark . Corrales was a very good fighter, but he had a tendency of waiting around for the recipe ( Totally unlike Camacho Sr) If he fought Ramirez the way he fought Castillo, Ramirez would stop him. That was Ramirez's wheel house , wars of attrition.

    Mark, Taylor was in the hospital for a week . He suffered a fractured orbital bone, he was urinating blood, for a week, if compu box was off a punch or three. It really wouldn't matter. Chavez obviously landed a very substantial amount of hard punches to do that kind of damage.
    Plus , Taylor wasn't the same after that particular fight.
    If Chavez landed 200 hundred punches and not 250. It may have been a blessing for Taylor, anymore he may have been killed. It may have been a good thing that fight was only 12rds.

    Taylor suffered a broken eye socket, broken ribs, badly busted up face, had a lot of blood pumped from his stomach, was ****ing blood for weeks and was in hospital for almost 2 weeks following the fight.

    What's your theory about who beat the stuffing out of Taylor?

    He took a beating no doubt but he won that fight it was a bad decision and he was not hit with250 punches, he landed less shots than Taylor.

    He certainly didn't with the Camacho comment.

    AND Ramirez was clearly better than Castillo as well.

    Floyd wouldnt go near JCC unless he had a 35ft ring.. Bayless as ref and had Chavez wearing 18oz Winning gloves. As far as Corrales who I respected as a fighter Chavez would have given him a terrible one sided beating. He was just simply not in his league.
