I think its little unfair to Corrales bringing up his loss to Clottey, Corrales moved up two weight classes to fight Clottey, and Clottey is very good fighter his only two losses were to Carlos Baldomir, and he was beating Baldomir clearly until he was DQ, and his other loss was too one of the best Welterweight's in recent years Antonio Margarito, and he was doing well in his fight with Margarito until he broke his hand, but Margarito also had problems before the fight so i will be fair there. But Clottey is a solid fighter and Corrales moving up two weight classes and going the distance with Clottey says a lot about Corrales heart, will.
who is will?

agree with a lot of what you say mate, but...

corrales wasnt ordered to fight clottey, nobody forced him to take the fight on at a different weight level

And even so as shown many times in the past great fighters can adapt at different weight levels, a true mark of a champion is someone who can move up 1-2 weights and win a world title.

Nobody is disrespecting the great man and i for one dearly miss diego and the spirited performances he gave every time he was in the ring. But to claim that a fighter can have a contest scratched from his record just because it wasnt at his ideal weight is absurd.
