    When asked about Hatton and the fight with Castillo --

    And then, talking about the perhaps odd way that Hatton knocked out Castillo --

    Taken from the article here.

    we all saw the slow motion replays.
    obvious that hatton got full leverage and just found the money spot.

    the fact castillo was going home with no payday was an extra incentive to win. if castillo had beaten hatton he would of had his pick of big money fights. there's no way castillo took a dive.

    Hes just bitter that Hatton beat him soundly, while Mayweather is 1-1 with him.

    To be perfectly honest, when I was watching the fight live I thought it was a bit suspect. I've seen plenty of guys get KO'd from body shots(see my avatar). Usually when a guy goes down from a body shot, you can see the agony on their faces. Alot of times, they try to get up, but can't or get up too late. I've never seen a guy turn around, take a few steps and then take a knee. The whole time I was waiting for him to stand up but he didn't.

    That being said, I'm not questioning that he was hurt. I'm positive that he was. However, I wouldn't be suprised if he just decided it wasn't worth it. Hatton was clearly the faster, stronger fighter. I think JLC realized he wasn't going to win the fight and decided it wasn't worth it to continue getting punished when his ribs were ****ed up and he wasn't even getting paid for the fight.

    Anyone that doesn't have an unhealthy hate for Floyd would probably look at that as Floyd saying Castillo's heart wasn't in it. Not that he took a dive.
    If someone brought up the fact to Floyd that Htton k.o'd Castillo and he went 12 rounders with him.
    Of course he would be correct in pointing out that Hatton did not fight the same Castillo. He fought a broke Castillo with weight, death in the family, and money problems surrounding his preperation for the fight.
    It is possible Floyd Mayweather could know a little something about boxing.
    The one thing it goes to show is that the only people in the world that thinks Castillo beat Floyd. Are also the only people in the world that takes everything the man says the wrong way.
    That is what makes the whole thing unhealthy.
    And when you reply to this with the usual "hugger, Floyd boy type" of accusations.Please remember that I am a grown man and you will miss me completely with that kind of nonsense

    Wear things happen in boxing.....the fact that he had the broken rib probably accent PBF remark...I getting no money so why toughing it out...that he went with that mind frame to the fight, No, Did Hatton beat the fight out of him, ....good chance of that....did the broken rib had to do with it also.....yes ......nevertheless, PBF rest easy since the JLC he fought was on his prime, Hatton beat an not to motivated JLC....and IMO those are the facts

    Castillo is done and a prime Castillo woulda beat Hatton no questions asked. He fought a washed up legend to get more fame and bigger fights ala Pac
