Just a little tribute to a great warrior. I know it's been done, but hell lets do it again. The man deserves it. Share your thoughts on his accomplishments and wheather or not you consider him a Hall of Famer or maybe even an ATG in his divisions.
Great or not, he sure gave us some great fights, one of which has a case for greatest fight ever.
He has wins over Derrick Gainer, Angel Manfredy, Joel Casamayor (Only the seccond to beat him), Acelino Freitas (First to beat him) and Jose Luis Castillo in a clasic.
Yes some of those wins were close and some of them were later avenged but for those nights that Chico emerged victorious we saw a spark of greatness and a glimps of what we all believe boxing should be. Even in his losses, or maybe especially, Corrales defined what is hart.
He was only dominated twice in his career and that was against an ATG in Mayweather and a young and hungry welterweight contender, a weight class chico should've never fought at, in his last fight.
Thanks Chico, RIP.
