First, it's not true that he never fights on the outside. Watch the second Casamayor fight. He fought the whole fight on the outside in a boxing stance and thoroughly dominated Casamayor as a result.

As for the opponents who "whipped" him.....
Mayweather whips everyone, he didn't whip Corrales because Diego refused to use his reach or fought a dumb fight. Corrales got whipped by Mayweather because Mayweather is the best fighter on the planet.
Corrales won the first Castillo fight and lost the second, when everyone acknowledges that Castillo had a huge unfair advantage by not making weight.

Corrales lost the first Casamayor fight because of a gigantic gash to his lip, not because he got KO'd. He dominated the second fight as I've already mentioned, and lost the third narrowly. Moving up to 140 removes much of the struggles that he's had with making weight. Corrales has always been an above average puncher and he would certainly be a dangerous opponent for Hatton.
