Guess the general thought is, if a very young Mayweather could so easily handle and knock out Corrales, certainly Pac, in his prime can do so.
i like chico but he doesnt stand a snowballs chance in hell in this fight, pacman would too fast, too strong, too agressive, too EVERYTHING! chico wouldnt have an answer for pacmans full frontal assault.
Diego was a gutsy fighter but he was not a great fighter like Pacman. It would not be very competitive.
Why do people think Pac slaughters him at 135? Pac wasn't the beast he is now @135. He will probably win but everyone thinkin cos Diego was slaughtered vs Floyd@130 that Pac will do it also easier. Floyd is arguably the GOAT at that weight with Alexis Arguello.
As much as I loved watching Corrales fight, Pacman would be just too much for him in almost every category.
I think Corrales has a better chance than he is getting credit for. Manny is no defensive wiz. Corrales fought some tough fights against some good fast southpaws in their prime and he did not get dominated and won 1 out of 2. Casa is a better boxer than Manny but he dont have the power or speed. But he could box his ass off. This aint no David Diaz.
