    His career could've gotten a bit further if they didn't throw him into the ring with a light heavyweight last month. I thought he could do damage at 140 but apparently he couldn't make the weight.

    Just a sad case on the whole.

    OMG! I come home from a terrible night of working late, and hear this! I cant believe it! I'm utterly in shock. R.I.P. Chico, he was one of favorites, and always will be. God bless him and my heart goes out to his fam.

    I'm thinking it's suicide. He was obviously done as a top fighter.

    Why? Everyone goes apeshit because Floyd Mayweather slapped a couple of girls around. Corrales was a violent felon who attacked a woman carrying his child. It doesn't get much sicker than that.

    This has been a bad two days for me. I never knew him, but he was my favorite fighter. He was only going to fight for a few more years, at best, and was probably going into his opponent stage. It makes it even sadder. He was about to be retired and probably been an announcer for Showtime. This is just sad.

    I think Floyd has a horrible attitude and imho is a POS but if he had died, I would still feel bad and miss him.

    Mayweather still has something to give to the sport, should he continue boxing. Corrales didn't.

    If everyone were like Chico, Boxing would be far more popular. What makes it worse, he was going to retire soon and enjoy his post fight career.

    Marvin Hagler and Archie Moore won better fights.

    I kissed my right fist and raised it to the heavens in complete and utter SHOCK.

    Here is what Saint Peter would say to Corrales at heaven's gate:

    "You've been through one hell of a fight. You've earned my RESPECT through your sheer DETERMINATION. You can REST now Diego."

    "About that Castillo fight, man how did you know it was even GODLY possible....???"

    Hagler didn't need to spit out his mouthpiece to buy time against Hearns.

    WTF, IP ban this motherfucker. This is a sad moment in boxing history and it is certainly NOT the time to make cracks about his death. It is way too soon.

    Seriously, and he didn't make it his lifestyle. He married. He had kids. He tried to redeem himself in and out of The ring. Diego made a brutal and horrible mistake and has done all a person can to erase it.

    Earlier today a friend called me and told me. I went ahead and put the report on my site(below). I waited hours for a report from f@ghtnews or b@xrec for a formal confirmation. I was hoping I was wrong, I was hoping my source was full of sh1t. but no.

    I don't know if many of you guys were around years ago when we lost James Shuler, but it is always sad when we lose one of ours. My heart felt sympathy goes out to his family, friends and fans.

    I ask the others to at least show respect.
