    Who wins this fun fight between 2 tough battlers? Both guys can hurt the other badly and possibly stop one another. Does Mancini outmuscle Corrales and beats him on the inside or can Corrales catch Mancini with a clean shot and take him out late?

    I like Ray by KO mid to late rounds. He was a hell of a lot more durable than Chico and far more stronger. As Flo mentioned, Chico was very good on the inside especially for a big man at 135 but Ray was so physically strong, I just can't see Chico overcoming that strength.

    Chico by a brutal ko. Chico never lost to someone of a similar frame to Boom Boom. All the guys he lost to were physically big framed guys other than Floyd, who's Floyd, and Casamayor who was a horrendous spoiler for everyone.

    I don't see Ray's physical style being effective here, he's gonna get chopped up on the inside. Worst thing about this is that the only way Ray could win would be trying to walk to him, and that is silly against a two handed long frame inside hitter.

    Another vote for Mancini. Corrales lacked the durability at that weight.

    Chico stops him in a very violent manner. Highlight KO.
