I would like to know how good was former middleweight champion Hugo Corro who dethroned the aging Rodrigo Valdez and how tall was Corro?

very good defensively, not much pop in his punches and very, very, boring

Not much memorable about Corro. There was a vacuum after Monzon's retirement not really filled until Hagler got his chance. Corro ducked Hagler. I recall one of the first times I saw Hagler fight. He dispatched his opponent and after the ring announcer gave the time, Marvin took the mic and told the crowd, "Hugo Corro is a sissy! He won't fight me!" Corro did fight Antuofermo and fought to survive, not like a champion. He meekly surrendered the title and I don't think he ever fought again. No great loss to boxing.

Don't know for sure but at a guess about 5 feet 10... a little taller than Valdez who was 5 . 9 and a half! 8) 8) 8)

Thank you Silkov for telling me the answer and I was guessing it too about Corro's height.

I do remember he had a really awful 70s haircut
Corro wasn't totally bad fighter though..
He had a short but decent run as undisputed champ of a traditional
he was able to beat Rodrigo Valdes twice and Valdes was pretty tough dude ..
And Corro also beat Ronnie Harris a southpaw spoiler type who was much avoided by the other contenders and who claimed that Hagler ducked him..
The Antofuermo fight was just an ugly maul fest I thought it could have gone either way....I think the fight was in Italy..

Hey Silkov how tall is Ronnie Harris the ex-middleweight contender in height?

silkov · Post by **silkov** » 31 Jan 2004, 19:59

I d say about 5 . 11 or 6 foot... was a very good boxer who won the Gold medal at '68 olimpics.... had very 'big' afro hair which made him look pretty tall but was a rangy tall fighter anyway... not under 5 .11 I'd say...
