    Prime for Prime, the one that beat PBF. I'd say Castillo. Too much pressure, punish the body.

    Here come the *******s with their childish name calling. :deal

    ****! this is another tough one...as we haven't seen much of pac at lightweight except against an overwhelmed diaz (sorry david, you have a warrior's heart and you swear with the best of them but you didn't bring much else) it's tough to say what he can really do there.

    off the top of my head, i'll take pac by SD. i think he's got enough movement to trouble castillo and though castillo works the body consistently, i don't see him hitting pac enough to slow him down. Pac opens up cuts over both castillo's eyes but keeps getting dragged into a brawl, which closes the gap on the scorecards and bring castillo back in. It's close to the end but it's clearly pac based on generalship and superior accuracy

    Pac by decision. He's too fast for castillo. It would be similar to the first Pac Erik Morales fight, with the exception of Pac being more dominant. Castillo was known as a slow starter and didnt have anywhere near the speed of Pac. Castillo had a hell of a chin so I doubt he would be knocked out.

    Right, but like I said, only this time Pac would be much more dominant based on the fact that Castillo was known as a slow starter and pac is much much faster.

    Speed doesn't always kill.

    As you get more familiarized with boxing, you'll understand that.

    this fight is tough because castillo has shown he can cope with speed, i think it's the combination of speed with ridiculously accurate power that will give pac a VERY narrow victory.
