    Then you weren't following boxing circa 2000. Period. No two ways about it. Because pre-Mayweather he had a reputation for two things; his power and his chin.

    Pre Mayweather his best opponents were Angel Manfredy, Justin Juuko, Roy Jones best friend, and Robert Garcia... and Sean O'Grady had a much higher KO ratio than all of them close to 90% and well over 90% at 130. You're coping with "pre-Mayweather" because who was testing his chin for you to call it "strong" Justin Judo??? Corrales having a suspect chin is the accepted consensus anywhere you ask that question. Thats not some kind of hot take. You're the one slinging hot takes around with your claim that his chin was strong never seen anybody claim that before... ESPECIALLY at 130 where Chico admits himself that those weight cuts used to kill him

    Robert Garcia was better than O'Grady, if not the others.

    I'm taking O'Grady's W over Hilmer Kenty over any Robert Garcia win

    O'Grady's the naturally smaller guy, and even if his chin held up, his propensity to bleed like a broken fire hydrant probably does him in. Just too many ways that this matchup can go wrong for O'Grady to favor him.

    No, now youre pushing it. This isn't true at all. Garcia would never in a million years beat Hilmer Kenty. Nor would he be leading on the cards against Jim Watt.

    It's a catch 22 because Chico ruined his career.

    Robert Garcia never beats Kenty. Even pre-Corrales.

    Its a moot point. Chico was better than O'Grady.

    All I'm saying is... Chico killing himself to make 130 is no way a sure thing vs O'Grady who had a 86% KO rate overall and a 90% KO rate under 135... At 130 he was probably more in the high 90% range pushing close to a 100% KO rate since most of his decision wins came early on at Featherweight
    He touches that chin on a severely weight drained Corrales... He puts Chico into a coma. That is not a hot take.
