Chico was one of my favorite fighters. As has been said 100's of times before, the first fight with Castillo was one of the best fights boxing has ever seen - certainly the best I've ever seen.
Even in his fight with Clottey, in which he was dominated, you could see flashes of what made Corrales great - he never quit and he always sought to perform the best he could, regardless of circumstances, he kept coming forward, bring the fight to the bigger and stronger Clottey.
One example (out of many) of just how big a heart he had was at the end of the Mayweather fight - most fighters would have resigned themselves to the fact that the fight was going to be stopped, and it should have been - but Corrales was pissed that they would even concieve of throwing the towel in.
One of my favorite fighters of all time, certain to be inducted in to the hall of fame - Multi-weight champion, a 40 - 5 record, and one of the most exciting fighters of our era - if fucking Naz gets in there, Chico should have his own goddamn wing.
RIP Diego "Chico" Corrales
