    Juan Manuel Marquez v Prime Jose Luis Castillo at Lightweight:think

    I have the feeling that Castillo takes Marquez out late in this mythical match-up; if a technical ring genius like Mayweather had major problems fighting this guy then I think Juan Manuel would, in the long run, be unable to cope with the pressure being exerted. The only chance I can see for Marquez is a cuts stoppage; I just can't see him boxing his fellow countryman for 12 rounds and emerging with the decision.

    Castillo KO/TKO 10.

    What do the rest of you all think?

    Anyone give Marquez a chance in this one?

    Thats my take.:good

    Just wanting to see if there are any dissenting voice out there.

    Anyone think that Marquez can box his way to a decision?

    No but he can box his way to not getting stopped. Many people don't really talk about Castillo when they talk fantasy fights because he just fell off. He was a monster at 135

    Castillo was very good at lightweight, not just a physical beast but quite a skilled operator..he had a shortish prime because of killing himself to make weight and several wars.

    I dont see him losing to Marquez...especially not at this stage.

    Would be a dam good fight, but I'm going with Castillo by decision.
