LOL. CC

Corrales won't be successful moving up in weight. The guys who can move up and be successful are good boxers who can avoid getting hit. Corrales stands in and brawls, trading punch for punch. Considering that he wasn't successful with this against top fighters at 130 or 135, it would be very surprising for him to do it at 147, which is a very talented division.
The thing that goes in Corallesfavour though is that he so tall he will still be big even for a welterweight. He looked unhealthily thin at 135 and at 147 he might suddenly be a revelation.

I'm not overly hopeful but it would be great for boxing if Coralles can live amongst the great welterweights out there as you just know he will be up for fighting the best and only the best.

Coralles is one of boxing's most exciting fighters and could replace Gatti if he's strong for the weight.
