    Neithers chin is giving out at middle. Castro took everything everyone from Norris to Roy Jones could throw at him at the lower weights.

    Took advanced age and a ****ing massive cruiserweight who's really a 220 pound heavyweight to even TKO the little *******.

    I'm not sure who's I'd favor. Amazing match though.

    Briscoe would whip him, busting him up badly with his excellent jab.

    Castro was a hard, hard fighter, but his offense and general talent were not in Briscoe's class.

    You would need to be a whole lot better than him to beat BRiscoe by standing in front of him.Cuties were the ones that bothered the bad one.

    Just how hard do you think Briscoe hit, Mantequilla?

    I've heard it said that both his and Hagler's KO records are misleading.

    Bad Bennie was a rough tough pressure fighter. He fought in a really tough era. He fought Hagler when when Briscoe was kinda long in the tooth. He split Marvins eye open with his shiny bald head. Goody doctored Marvin up, controlled the cut. And boxed Bennie too protect his eye. And he said that bennie was still one tough nut. I think he was a better all aroung fighter than Castro. Bad Bennie by decision.
