WBO and WBC lightweight champion of the world Diego "Chico" Corrales gave boxing a classic fight on May 7 of this year along with his opponent that night, and the two may be set to go at it again as there is serious talk of a rematch of the unbelievable clash. Corrales was ringside in Manchester to issue a challenge to the winner of the Ricky Hatton-Kostya Tszyu fight and in the aftermath, he has been seriously suggested as an opponent for new champion Hatton. Now it seems as if we will get a repeat of the all out war that was Castillo-Corrales I. However, after such a brutal war that must have taken a huge toll on each man, it remains to be seen if either man can be the same fighter they were before that amazing night.
