jose luis castillo vs manny pacquiao

Are you kidding me? JMM countered the **** out of PacMan, and beat him both times. The judges may not have given him the "W," but JMM outboxed PacMan plain and simple.

Castillo would have beaten Pac up. You have to remember. A prime Castillo isn't a shopworn Morales or Barrera.

 

JMM is probably the best counterpuncher in the game, and he still couldnt counter Pac enough to stay on his feet and win a fight. Your opinion, my opinion, irrelevant, stop hurting, Pac won.

Castillo couldnt counter the very counterable slow telegraphed punches of Diego Corrales, he got hit with every bomb he threw...what make syou think hes gonna be countering Pac who throws punches ALOt quicker than Corrales.

MAB was top 5 p4p when Pac beat him and is the same age Pac is now. Morales beat a top 5 p4p fighter in the same year and is the same age Pac is now. Stop the excuses, same record over and over again.

Oh Castillo cannot even compare to either MAB or Morales...

 

You're forgetting one thing here. JLC is bigger and stronger than MAB or EM. He's use to facing guys that hit harder than Pac does. Pac's power wouldn't bother JLC why can't you see this?

 

Castillo - bigger, stronger, hits damn hard and has an iron chin.

I think Pac would have his moments, but I don't think he could stop JLC and Manny's chin can't take that left hook.

 

Great fight wish it would have happened

 

MAB had been thru wars by the time he fought Manny, he started at a much younger age and INDISPUTABLY was past his best days. You're also seriously underestimating Diego Corrales. He threw BOMBS, he was far from slow and he was extremely dangerous on the inside. He was bigger and hit harder than Pac, and would be too big and too strong for either Pac or MAB.

You also mention that Morales wasn't completely washed up the year he first fought Pac. You're right, he wasn't, he was only a little bit past it, and he beat Pac. Can you imagine a Prime EM fighting Pac?

 

3 years ago i would say Castillo with ease. But now i would say Pac has a chance... Remember 2 years ago almost EVERYBODY here on ESB favors Juan Diaz over Pac, but not anymore. Im sure People will also change their minds especially if Pac ko's Hatton.

 

MAB in the first Pac fight was still one of the best fighters on the planet. Past his best? Probably but only 10%. He was still very dangerous and was far from being way past his prime or being shot. Bottom line. Pac beat an MAB who was still at the top of his game. You realize that after the beating he took from Pac, MAB still went on an impressive winning streak?

C'mon now, lets stop the excuses.

 

Prime 135 Castillo beats a 135 pound Pac. Its too bad that all the really great mexicans are either too old or too young and not around Pac's age. (Not Pac's fault)

If Pac wants to beat up another washed up legend, A Castillo vs Pac at 147 wouldn't be a bad tuneup fight for Pac.

 

delete double post

 

Whats your point? I never said Pac was the hardest puncher Castillo would have faced. Regardless, Pac at LW is still a p4p puncher and its not so much about how hard he hits, its "how hard and how fast and how often he hits" that is the problem, that and the fact that I believe Pac will be landing on Castillo ALOt more than Castillo will be landing on Pac. This due to Pac's faster handspeed, footspeed and reflexes. Pac is used to dealing with much faster, good timing, accurate punchers ie: Morales, JMM, MAB.

Pac has been outboxed, not outbrawled. Castillo has been both outboxed and outbrawled. Only way Pac looses this fight is if hes stupid enough to fight on the inside.

 

mexican moment. pacquiao might take his head clean off

 

Pacquiao whoops his sh*t
