Hugo Corro

What I admire most about Hugo Corro is the quiet completeness of his story. Coming out of San Carlos in Argentina's wine country, he didn't just win the undisputed middleweight crown, he beat Rodrigo Valdez and then proved it was no fluke by beating him again in the rematch. That second victory is everything to me. Anyone can catch lightning once, but to repeat against a man who had succeeded Carlos Monzon shows real championship temperament. He left us far too early at 53, yet sitting in the heart of that legendary middleweight lineage is a legacy time cannot erase.

Hugo Pastor Corro (November 5, 1953 – June 15, 2007), better known plainly as Hugo Corro, was an Argentine professional boxer who held the undisputed middleweight championship between April 1978 and June 1979. Corro beat Rodrigo Valdez for the world middleweight title, and he would beat Valdez in a rematch. Valdez had succeeded Carlos Monzón as world champion.
