Willie Savanah was smart enough to keep Juan 1000 miles away from Chico when Corrales ruled 135. If the fight had happened, how many rounds would it have taken Chico to knock him cold?
corrales would've stopped him in less than 8 rounds, but JL Castillo would've thoroughly punished Diaz in a career damaging fashion.
If at 130, it depends how late into Chico's career the fight takes place at 130, because he was getting seriously drained towards the end. Make no mistake, Floyd owns him, but he was past easily making 130 by then. In fact, when he fought Brown over 12 rounds, one journalist noted Chico's professionalism for stepping in at such short notice {it took place out in Lincoln City, Nebraska} but others noted how he had piled on 15lbs overnight from the weigh in, and questioned, ironically, his lack of professionalism.:notallthere: At 135, I think Diaz lacks the skills to brutalize him like Casamayor did, or the size and strength like Castilllo had. Cannot see Diaz beating him at 135.
Juan Diaz might have the best defense of any 135 pounder ever...and that includes u know who... Diaz would humiliate Chico Corrales..
I would pick Chico, but Juan Diaz could have hurt Chico, I am not joking. Chico had one of the worst chins of any elite fighter and a porous defense to match. Chico would stop him, but he might get dropped::::I was a huge Chico fan, but he was a very overrated fighter.
No, Diaz could not hurt him. Frietas couldnt hurt him, and Diaz certainly didnt hit harder than Frietas. And it took Castillo 9 rounds of punishment in the first fight to finally drop him. Diaz cant punch a lick! He couldnt even seriously hurt Wholio Diaz, who has a career terrible chin. Katsidis doesnt have a good chin either, and Diaz couldnt hurt him. Chico would smile at Diaz's punches.
While Corrales didn't have a good chin, I don't think the relatively light-punching Diaz would dent it. The guys who hurt Corrales were sharp, quick punchers like Mayweather and Casamayor, or Castillo, who was a much better puncher than Diaz and caught him with beautifully timed left hooks. Clottey is a WW, and Corrales was a spent force by then anyway. Corrales would absorb Diaz's shots without much problems, like he did against Freitas, Garcia, and Manfredy, whom Corrales basically laughed at when he landed a combination. Diaz could hurt Corrales through a long accumulation of shots, but I don't think it'd get to that point. In order to land that many shots, Diaz would eat a ton of leather from Corrales short powerful shots, particularly on the inside, and probably get stopped in the mid rounds.
Exactly. I honestly see it as a replay of Corrales-Manfredy, only Diaz lasts a few more rounds than Angel did, and is a bit more competitive, but still gets put out. Juan's defense sucks, and he'd have no choice to come at and trade punches with a devestating short range puncher. Juan's chin pre-Marquez was decent, but not nearly good enough to take Chico's shots for more than a few rounds. Corrales hit MUCH harder than Campbell, and Marquez. I dont see it as a stoppage. I think it would be a hightlight reel KO with Juan out cold. Chico's short hook would set Juan up for it, then he puts Juan to sleep with a straight right... ala Roberto Garcia. Corrales had TWO-FISTED power... which I think sometimes ppl forget.
Whatever, Casapeor is feather fisted and he dropped Corrales. X, Freitas did hurt him and he was out pointing him too:::iaz has the speed to drop Corrales. It is just goes to show you that opinions are often so worthless. How in fuck's name can anyone not think Chico's chin was NOT awFul. His chin was about has bad a chin can be for an elite fighter. How many fucking times was he dropped ? He stop Diaz cold so don't try to blow this up like I am giving Diaz a chance. It would have been a great fight.
Yeah, Casamayor is so feather-fisted that he starched Katsidis, and Diaz couldnt even STUN Katsidis. Like Erratic said, Chico was vunerable to SHARP punchers like Casa, and Floyd... and to HEAVY punchers like Castillo. Diaz is none of the above. And no, Frietas never hurt Chico. He was outpointing him for awhile, but so what? It was apparent during that fight that it was only a matter of time before Chico caught up to him, and sure enough he did. With Diaz, Chico wouldnt have to go looking for him. Juan would be right there to hit, and thats bad news for Baby Cow.
Casamayor is not feather fisted at all. He doesn't have monster power, or really heavy hands, but he is a sharp puncher for sure. And I hate the little bastard. For some reason Chico would always get hurt or dropped by punches he didn't see coming. Punches he did see coming he would take fine. I know that's the case with most fighters, but it was even more obvious with Chico. Diaz's punches would do nothing to Chico. Corrales would have raped him in 4 or 5 rounds, it would have looked like Corrales manfredy, like slapping a child around the ring.
If Diaz is his usual aggressive fighter he might drop Corrales early..not hurt him at all..but just on pure aggression. But as soon as Corrales land some hurt on Corrales that will be the end of the fight...Diaz aggression will decrease and he will be a punching bag for a few minutes.
Continuing to repeat things that nobody agrees with you on won't make them true nor will it convince or confuse anyone into agreeing with you. This isn't congress homie.
Shane Mosely is an overrated one hit wonder.Do you agree?Are you back in Washington? I will probably go up there in the next 60 days or so.
No I don't agree. Why are you coming up here? You planning on leaving me in a pool of my own blood? ::
Casamayor was definitley not feather fisted. He was a sharp, accumulation puncher Ivan Calderon, Willie Pastrano, Paul Spadafora... THAT is feather fisted
Oh Bullshit. The guy has a kayo ratio of 50-54% percent. Juan Diaz is like 44%-48% big fucking deal. Wow, what sharpness is the 8-10%. Casapeor is not a puncher in any meaningful definition of the word. Casapeor an accumulation puncher. Seriously, I expect more from you C-dogg. I don't expect shittiness from you. You need to tighten your game. Look, I liked Chico as much as anyone. His chin was awful. Floyd Mayweather who could never be considered a puncher(except by you clowns I guess::::) knocked him down 5 times Seriously, Chico was vulnerable to punches to the face, not sharpness, or not being able to see. If he was punched in the face, he fell.Period.
He's certainly not an accumulation puncher either :: And for example, he doesn't even hit as hard as Fraud, but to say he is feather fisted is just wrong. And I hate the dirty little bastard. KO %'s don't tell the whole story Ike. Freitas had a higher KO% than Pacman, who hits harder? You have to take into account styles and levels of opposition. Diaz has an aggressive style, which he leads him to get what KO's he has. Casamayor is not aggressive at all, and still has more KO's. He hits quite a bit harder than Diaz.
He absolutley was an accumulation puncher. He landed lots of sharp counters over and over again until the other guy was either stopped or too banged up to be competetive... that is exactly what an accumulation puncher is... think Marvin Hagler, Salvador Sanchez
Both Hagler and Sanchez were more aggressive than Casamayor, and I wouldn't even consider either of them an accumulation puncher. They both had decent punches actually. As for Casamayor, he would outbox guys, and sting them with single shots, they'd get frustrated and some of them would end up getting KO'd or stopped. Someone like Chavez is the definition of an accumulation puncher. Not a great puncher, but constantly hitting you, or at least trying to hit you. Is Floyd an accumulation puncher too? ::
Hey cdogg! Haven't seen you for a while! agREED on Sanchez. but Hagler could pop when he wanted to. Despite his persona as the "rough and tough mean bald black guy", Hagler was much more of a patient boxer by nature. But when properly motivated, he could get folks out of there. The Hamsho rematch is a good example, Hagler boxed for the first round & half or so and it was looking like the fight would go some rounds like the first one and Hagler would gradually beat up Hamsho until the ref or his corner saved him. But then Hamsho started head butting, Hagler got angry and Hamsho didn't last a whole lot longer. He wasn't a one punch huge bomber like Hearns or Jackson, but he definitely could punch.
Hey joe! Hagler was def more of a puncher than Sanchez and Casamayor, for sure I was merely bringing him up as an example of one who breaks opponents down with lots of accurate shots And Sanchez was not a banger at all... he was at best a mildly harder hitter p4p than Joel Casamayor either way, calling Casamayor feather-fisted simply isnt accurate
