    All three (Corrales, Castillo, and Casamayor) would've been competitive in Chavez's era. Anyone not named Whitaker woud've had a tough time. I wouldn't expect anyone except Chavez and Pea to pull a sweep.

    You should watch Corrales-Garcia. Chico was no joke at 130 and was a very good lightweight too.

    There is no way Corrales can win. Chavez would take him into deep waters and drown him.

    I think the only guy who could have stopped Duran was Thomas Hearns, who was a real great. Corrales was not. Hearns had that right hand and jab and speed and fought elite guys. That is why he beat Duran. Duran would not be hurt by Corrales and my guess is would stop him in the mid rounds. Duran would not lose to Corrales.
