    Both are not very big and castillo is a little shot who would you guys have winning in a 12 rounder at 147lbs?

    i think a SD either way or maybe a UD for forbes

    Forbes at both weights. I think he outboxes Castillo, landing more frequently and generally landing the cleaner punches. Castillo is probably completely shot at this point.

    In their primes at 135, not a contest, Castillo in my opinion has been a great(or very very close to that) lightweight. Dno what would happen now though

    A prime JLC beats Forbes by wide UD or posssibly stops him late. JLC is shot now so probably Forbes.

    What? It's not really that insulting to be mentioned alongside Steve Forbes. I think TC has stigmatized him badly. He was a respected former champ before that farce of a competition.
