    both champs at middle in the ninetees.

    jackson was more talented and punched like a mule and seems the obvious favorite.

    but pudgy little castro was more than met the eye. a typical argentinian brawler, he had a chin of pure iron. first man to last the distance with jones jr, he also went the course with guys like vassily jirov.........at cruiser when he was way past it.

    and castro managed wins over the likes of reggie johnson and john david jackson..........so he could fight a little to say the least.

    so could he extend jackson and maybe stop him late?? cause castro could punch pretty good himself???

    If Jackson jumps on Castro, he might not knock him down, but his heavy series of punches would force the referee to stop it.

    Jackson TKO in 3.

    Castro got hit way too much to be in the ring with Jackson.

    The chin nearly always beats the punch.

    I think both were better at 154, either way, I take Castro to win on amid/late round stoppage.
