Who wins here? I don't think size would be a problem. Chico was HUGE at 135, and could have competed at 140 had the first Castillo fight not ruined him. I can't see anyway Khan doesn't get KO'd here. Khan at best might score a KD. But he doesn't hit hard enough to keep Chico down. Eventually, Corrales catches him with a hook in between his bullshit flurries, and Khan turns to Bambi once again.
Not so sure here. Corrales wasn't exactly durable. I think Khan would hurt him. I'd favor Chico, but not by much.
Corrales was vunerable to sharp punchers like Floyd, and Casa. Khan is the opposite of sharp. I could see one of Khan's quick 1-2's dropping Chico. But Corrales rising, and putting Khan to sleep.
Casa wasn't a sharp puncher. He was a talentless grappler and cheat. He also couldn't punch at all. Chico was one of my favorite fighters, but he is overrated as hell. Corrales was chinny too. His chin was absolute garbage.
Corrales everytime. Maidana is a crude fighter, a glorified clubfighter. Corrales was a top type of fighter with serious flaws. Maidana is just shit.
If Khan jabs and runs, he can go a few rounds here. But if Khan decides to go after Corrales, just look at the Prescott fight to see the outcome.
Corrales is overrated as hell but he was dangerous and had a terrific hook. Khan definitely takes some rounds, but I agree that eventually he is getting nailed with something and Corrales follows through and finishes him off.
How is Corrales overrated? Nobody has ever picked him over a great fighter in a MM. He was a very good (although flawed) fighter, and a GREAT puncher. Virtually everybody accepts that.
Yeah, one of my favorite fighters of the last 15 years,(in the ring) but he is overrated. I know because I cheered for him and he had a chance to lose every single night.I wish he had learned to jab, my favorite punch by a country mile. It would have made him all time dangerous. He just loved to try to kayo people. Boxing is about setting people up. If you jab a guy's face off for a quarter of the fight. He can land the bombs late. Chico just ambled forward and tried to stop people, no plan ever.I wouldn't be surprised if Khan UD'd him. Khan wouldn't fuck around in there with his chin and choco;s power.
I don't see this going down any differently than Corrales vs Freitas. Freitas won nearly every round but fought at such a frantic pace he tired himself out then Corrales caught up with him. The difference is Khan goes to sleep whereas Freitas quit. The knockdown at 2:35 is my favorite. :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_64iRGTDGh8
I think that's a good comparison... Khan can win rounds with his speed and would win rounds, but there's no doubt in my mind, he's going to sleep at some point I loved that fight against Frietas because I hated him so much
I think it ends sooner than the Frietas fight. Frietas didn't have a glass chin. He had a glass heart, but his chin was decent. Khan has the heart, but his chin is pure glass. I think the FIRST left hook Chico nails him with knocks him dead. Danny Garcia's left hook is NOTHING compared to Chico's. Corrales within 5. Possibly within 3.
I agree with you, Freitas is the opposite of Khan in that way. No heart, decent chin. Khan doesn't last more than 4 rounds. Range, handspeed, sure, but he has no defense. Wouldn't take long for Chico to land a flush left hook that knocked Khan for 20.
