    Prime Stevie of course.

    I'd take Chico. Stevie for all his skills got to hit too much, esp on the inside, to beat Corrales. That, and the the fact that Stevie didnt have the power to keep Corrales off all night.

    Even in Stevie's best performance, which was probably against Manfredy(either that or the Bazan rematch) Angel was able to catch Stevie with a good number of short hooks on the inside.

    Against Corrales, Stevie gets caught on the inside on time too many.

    Corrales TKO 11, whilst behind on the cards.

    Corrales TKO 8 behind on the cards, indeed.

    I don't see Stevie surviving those hooks and uppercuts that Diego could deliver.

    Corrales late, Johnston tended to be very overrated during his day... he was a good, hustling lightweight but he was always a guy who went life-and-death, even against ordinary fighters who weren't punchers... He'd get hit too much here

    Mosley would have hammered Johnston as well, and we all know my feelings on that motherfucker

    I agree. Stevie tends to be overrated at times. Theres some that believe he could have scored upsets over Mosley, and Floyd. GTFOH!

    Shane plain and simple would have been too big, powerful, and fast for him. And Floyd would have picked him apart with fast, accurate shots.

    yup

    agree on both counts

    Johnston was a good little man, but he was never an A level fighter
