Corralles is dangerous while it lasts and probably drops Marquez but he gets picked apart and ktfo in under 8.
Marquez was in two grueling battles with Baby Cow Diaz, and fuckin Michael Katsidis, yet he just picks apart Corrales in 8? I don't agree. I think Marquez tends to get overrated due to having Pac's number. I favor Corrales, at 130 or 135. Not to say Corrales was the better/greater fighter, but I think Marquez's style is favorable for Chico to have a lot of success against. Pac on the other hand destroys Chico based on styles. Too much speed for Chico.
I do NOT see Marquez stopping Corrales. No way. Good fight though. Both me. Get dropped. Brutal bloody battle.
Corralles would throw out the offense and some would land but he'd get countered to death with clean shots and combos and he can't take snapping counters like Marquez could land. I don't see anyway this fight goes the distance regardless,
If you had any power and you could hit Corrales, you could stop him. He had heart and endurance but he was kind of fragile. He would go straight at Marquez and get hit as much as he threw.
Katsidis and Diaz were durable full fledged lightweights that Marquez stopped. He also stopped Casamayor who bounced Corrales around the ring and stopped him in their first fight, walked him down and dropped him in their second fight and also schooled him easily in the third fight. Pac has nothing to do with anything. Chico is overrated because he was exciting and he died. Marquez was just another level of fighter. The only thing Chico had on him was size and you see how effective they were as they moved up in weight.
Strident must mean apt and accurate, because that's what I'm serving up! I don't see how you can not see Marquez knocking him out.
Excellent matchup....I think Marquez wins...8 out of 10 times....the other 2 times I see Corrales putting him to sleep seriously...it has never happened to him...but I can see Chico doing it...okay maybe once...2 times is too many.
What's selective? Sharp punchers with pop drop Corrales and hurt him. He couldn't take a jolt and he'd get hit with everything Marquez tried to set up. Chico is big but Casamayor wasn't when he walked him down when he boxed in the rematch. People said the third fight was "drawish" and boring because they wanted Chico to win and he was totally outboxed and schooled in that fight. And Marquez has shown power from 126 to 147 (against a featherweight but so what) and never been stopped whereas Corrales looked useless and worn out without his size advantage.
You're basically doing the opposite of "Marquez was stunned and hurt by a featherfisted Diaz and the mediocre Katsidis... Corrales knocked out the big, strong, sturdy-chinned Castillo... imagine what he'd do when he lands on Marquez"
Marquez has never been stopped and Casamayor is still alive despite fighting Corrales 3 times. He hurt and dropped Corrales more than Corrales hurt or dropped him. Same with Floyd. Marquez isn't as mobile or defensive as Floyd or Casa but he's not Jose Luis Castillo either. Nor is he Angel Manfredy or Grandpa Garcia.
Marquez is not mobile enough to win this fight. It would be an inside fight, and Marquez counterpuhcing would ensure he have his fair share of succes along the way, but chico superior power coupled with Marquez somewhat leaky defense will be the difference.
Lol at an in fight. Wtf would Marquez do that? He's not as mobile as Floyd or Casamayor but he's certainly capable of fighting on the move against a dunce like Corrales.
He'd get trapped. Corrales was able to catch to fleet footed guys like Gainer. no way this is not an inside fight, Marquez is not mobile enough to da a Floyd or a Casamayor
Gainer? Lol. Marquez would have to engage but he'd be more then able to step out after exchanges, potshot, and counter. And I can see him surviving a shootout before Corrales.
You don't have run or go balls to the wall against Corrales. His footwork was shit. Pure shit. He'd walk into bombs all night and get countered more often than not when he did find range. His power and hand speed are the only things that give him any shot at all. The skill gap is enormous.
Imo, prime Cassomayor wins convingcinly vs Marquez. But vs Chico... What a war it would be. Would slightly lean toward JMM in a fight both gets hurt
Katsidis durable? LMAO! Katsidis was a complete and total bum. Had that been Corrales in there instead of Marquez with Katsidis, that Aussie might not be alive today.
Katsidis would be made to order for Corrales but he was a strong guy that fought in a fuck it style and gave tough scraps to better fighters. If Katsidis isn't durable than Corrales is frail.
Corrales was more durable than Assadis. Assadis woulda been knocked cold by Castillo in under 6 rounds. He woulda gotten stopped by Freitas also.
Katsidis was a fun terrible fighter.....his fight vs. Marquez is one of my favorite MARQUEZ fight...beautiful counterpunching and combination...it was a beeeautifully HUGEeee AWESOMELY display of counterpunching and combination....
Katsidis sucked but Marquez knocked him out so what is your point? Katsidis could land shots before getting knocked out because he was tough and fought aggressively. So criticizing Marquez for getting hit by him is silly. If he stayed up long enough he'd hit almost anybody.
