"Boxing has lost a great warrior and a gifted athlete. Diego Corrales had the heart of a champion, and while we were competitors in the ring, he was someone who I greatly respected and will be remembered for his spirit and passion in and out of the ring. The boxing community lost a great champion this week and he will be truly missed.  My condolences go out to his wife Michelle, his five children and the rest of his family and friends." 

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
