    Rios isn't on Castillo's level as a fighter yet. As of right now Castillo is a better pressure fighter, better body puncher, better infighter, and even a better defender.... the fight would be a war but right now I put my money on Castillo by late rounds KO.

    Castillo is a HOFer IMO. Level above rios.

    Castillo's a more skilled pressure fighter than Rios. Better punch placement and timing. After all, he learned from one of the best. A JLC TKO in 10 or 11 is my pick.

    Castillo. Although I would bet on Rios against Corrales, by KTFO.

    Its a back n forth war for the first 6 rounds, then Castillo beats the hell outta him. Castillo TKO 10.

    You bet wrong.

    Corrales would have stopped Rios.

    Rios is nowhere near his prime yet.
    So I would say Rios wins .

    Rios is a 25 year old PRESSURE fighter/puncher. They peak early. He's in his prime right now.

    Because you're ******ed? Corrales was every bit as good as JLC. Maybe a shade better when they both have to make the same weight. That's not saying anything bad about JLC, they both get hugely underrated around here for the most part. I'm surprised this poll isn't 50/50.

    Castillo!!! Not even funny either...Brandon's career would most likely be over...Brandon is made for a guy like Castillo.
