    Too consistent, too relentless, too methodical, just too much. Khan will start fast, Castillo will walk him down, get in on him, start beating/breaking him up to head and body. The longer the fight goes the more he pours it on.

    Khan ain't show nothing to suggest he has what it takes to hang with Jose.

    castillos shot...... and he was never that good to start off with.He cant hit that hard, he has no effect on fighters with his petty punches. Khans a better fighter.:cool:

    castillos acheived more but it dont mean hes better. Khan would beat him. Khan hasnt got a glass jaw so i cant see castillo hurting khan with his punches, hes not a big puncher..

    I am getting the feeling that Bailey tunes is an alias of someone who is trying to take the ****. Surely no one can be so daft?

    LOL, when I read Baileys posts I always think of the 'man in the street'. If you ask 'Joe Public' about Khan v Castillo you would get the same response.

    Yep. Me too. Now I just think it is someone on the wind up or Barry McGuigan.

    Have you ever seen a prime Castillo fight??? This is a guy who took Floyd to two razor thin decisions (many profess that he won the first fight). He also split a couple with a prime Chico, beat a brilliant Stevie Johnson, beat a good Cesar Bazan, beat a skilled Julio Diaz, bruttalized a good Lazcano, and beat a pretty prime Casamayor. And back in the day the guy could punch with real power, not one punch KO power, but wear-you-down stuff (Casamayor was dead on his feet the last three rounds against Castillo after the punches he had taken, and Lazcano was a freakin mess, never mind the one-punch KO of Chico in the second fight - albeit with the added weight). Many of his early losses were to lesser fighters, and via cuts-stoppage. Despite the superhuman Corales comeback he was near impossible to stop by either one-punch or multi-punch KO (granite-like chin). If he had have fought in the 15 round era he would have taken a lot of elite opponents out late. The guy was a very good fighter.

    I honestly cannot believe ANYONE has voted for Khan.

    Castillo will walk him down in 4 rounds MAX.

    And to people who think Khan would stop him, remeber he has been in with Corrales!!

    Or are we not overating Khan:huh

    Put it this way in my eyes Khan has to actually beat a legitimate Live opponent before he even gets mentioned about having the slightest chance of beating Castillo....Shot or prime
