Byzantine Corinth

It fell to the crusaders in 1210, who were already established in the Morea. In this timeline, it's chief leader, the Greek general Leo Sgouros seeks and receives aid from Nicea. The Franks now fail to capture Corinth and it becomes the focal point of Greek resistance. Is this plausible, or is the fall of Corinth inevitable? (Remember that Monemvasia in the south resisted the crusaders for many years before surrendering.)

Why shouldn't it be plausible? The Morea lasted longer as a Byzantine province than Constantinople did... if something had been different, like more support from somewhere, I don't see why it couldn't have happened.
