    How does JLC do against the big punching Chapo?

    Too many on ESB underrate Castillo h2h because of his supposed chin "issues". In his prime, he was only KO'd by the hardest punching SFW/LW of the era. Believe it or not, I favor Castillo pretty heavily in this matchup despite the utmost respect for Rosario. Please rewatch his fights with Mayweather, Casamayor and Corrales before discounting his chances against any LW of any era.

    No need. I rewatch Castillo's fights all the time. HELLUVA fighter, but stylewise... he gets brutalized by Chapo.

    His fights with Stevie Johnston were good, too.

    If Corrales can stop Castillo, why cant Chapo?

    Castillo is kind of a poor man's Chavez. But he wouldn't be as tidy in navigating past Chapo's artillary to administer a body beating. I see him getting rocked badly at some point. Chapo tko 9. Rosario was a massive puncher. I think Castillo would suffer a similar fate as Bramble but not necessarily so quickly.
