And that fight with Mayweather. How many boxers would have stayed down or throwing the glance to their corner. He just kept getting up and he was angry when his corner stopped. That is heart. He was a warrior.

Castillo fight was a classic war of a fight, he had heart got back up 5 times against Floyd.

He was on a bad run of fights but Im sure he would have turned results around. Castillo coming in overweight, fair play to Diego for fighting the cheat.

RIP...

Terrible news And so young too!

Corrales was one of my favourite fighters. He always gave 110% in the ring, he was very entertaining to watch & he never ducked anyone.

He will be missed!

R.I.P. Chico

It's very sad news. His first fight with Castillo was the best i've seen in recent times. The boxing world will sorely miss him as anytime he fought it was compelling viewing.

RIP

Terrible news , the man gave us so much in the ring and I don't remember a boring Corrales fight . What a warrior he was , time and time again he proved that when he needed to dig deep , to find the courage others could only dream of achieving he did it with ease . No matter how grim things seemed Corrales always got up and fired back .

RIP the man who beat Freitas , Casamayor , Gainer and Castillo in the greatest fight of all time(for me anyway) .

Another tragedy for boxing. Chico had a hard life and died before his time but the sport is better for people like chico. And i have to say that people like chico would be lost without the sport.

Another great boxing character, sad he died so young.

(Forgot to say, fight with Castillo - an all time classic. I've never been so dumbfounded by an end to a fight)
