Boxer Diego Corrales, a former world champion and participant in one of the great fights of all time, was killed in a motorcycle accident Monday night.
"He crashed on a motorcycle. It don't look like he made it through this," manager James Prince told ESPN.com as he was arriving on the scene. "He's dead."
Tragic that he was taken at the age of 29. I'm sorry, but I can't speak intelligently about his life, or even his career. I just know about the legendary fight(s) against Jose Luis Castillo ... fights that were enough to prove that Corrales was a man of tremendous heart and courage; a man with no quit in him.

If you were among those who thought De La Hoya vs. Mayweather was a great fight, you'd do well to see if you can get a copy or Coralles vs. Castillo I. Below is the 10th and deciding round of that fight.
