    or a skilled fighter that was unlucky to be in a era full of talented fighters ???

    Which one would describe Castellani better ???
    Or how would you describe Rocky Castellani ??

    I watched some of his videos these days and he looks very good, I like his footwork....the full fight vs Bratton II is avaliable on YT, pretty good fight.

    Maybe. I give Ray credit for his jab more than most.

    One thing though he dropped Ray ****ing hard. Like a bad break up.

    Really like this guy...had some moves for sure.

    A lot of other eras he would have been some sort of the champion...he was in a strong era, had his shot and fell short.

    He was Italian so he definitely had talent.

    Rocky Castellani who i saw ringside was part of a trio of terrific Italian middleweights of that era alongst Lee Sala and Joey Giambra...In most any other era they would be champs...
