Yes. Judah was on a pretty good run and looked very sharp in his previous fights.140 seemed a natural weight for him and he actually looked faster and more powerful than he did in his latter welterweight fights. Castillo struggled mightily in his previous fight at 140 and had been in so many wars that he looked a shell of himself.
not really. some people are actually giving judah a good cahnce of stopping khan if he landed a big one. back at the time, no one is actually giving castillo a chance against hatton as far as i remember it.
Khan has a better win than Hatton had over Castillo. I remember that fight being a tuneup of sorts. Khan is better than Hatton ever was.
i don't know the betting odds but the feel and the general opinion that time was castillo was already shot or at least shopworn already and was fighting just to pay his due that he own his promoter. for this fight, some fightfans are actually banking on judah's power to test again khan's will and chin.
I'm really starting to think this is true now, I did not think Khan had it in him to dominate someone like Zab the way he did. And I don't think he's even reached his prime yet.
they are about the same, two name fighters that had left their best boxing in the past khan has a chance to pass hatton in accomplishments but right now their careers are about equal.... if khan fights floyd and pac and losses to both their careers would be similar but he hasnt so people look at him as being superior because he hasnt been exposed yet like hatton was after promising so much :hat
