You guys need to stop this crap about Castillo

You think Hatton is a "young lion", despite him being past his prime in numbers alone, and 42 fights into his career? Considering Hatton's style, like Henry Armstrong or Joe Frazier, he should be past it already.

And "shot" isn't close to what Castillo is. I made this point in another thread: Do you actually understand wha a shot fighter is like? Obviously not, because Castillo isn't. Past his prime? Fair enough, but he is NOT shot.

Unless of course you think Castillo s at the same stage Ali was when he lost to Leon Spinks or Evander Holyfield against James Toney. They were shot. Castillo is shopworn, but certainly has a lot left. If you had any idea about boxing, you wouldn't even think of saying something as moronic as Castillo is shot.

I probably shouldn't bother with people like you, Scurla, You out..SUCKA and all those. ****ing biased ****s. Saying Hatton is up and coming is about as bizarre a post I've ever read on ESB.

 

Hatton has those broad shoulders. Big upper body. And Hatton will come in as a Junior Middleweight come fight night. This is totally different than the Joel Casamayor's and Julio Diaz' that Castillo is used to fighting. He wont hold the weight advantage like he did at Lightweight. Hatton will expose him in that respect.

 

Dont know what all the bitching is about. I see a great fight here, between two guys who come to fight. Both deserve credit for taking the fight. No excuses from me, just some ice cold beer, a night on the couch, and what I think could be a burner of a fight.

 

The problem is so few people seem to put wins and losses into the correct perspective.

How Castillo looks, correctly so, will affect the accolades that Hatton receives for winning, if he does. The truth is though, that we aren't yet 100% sure exactly HOW much of a win beating Castillo is at this point of Castillo's career.

If Hatton beats a game strong Castillo who fights hard every round, I'm going to give him a lot more credit than if he beats a Castillo that looks old and lethargic. I mean, no one is talking about the greatness of Kevin McBride because he beat an old crappy Mike Tyson.

The truth is, I think Castillo is going to come out fighting and be a very very tough opponent for Hatton. I think there is a whole lot left in Castillo, and that he will beat Hatton. If he does turn out to be slow, weak, old weightdrained version of his former self, of course Hatton's win will not mean as much.

If Hatton beats Castillo it is a very good very telling win no matter what. Whether it is a GREAT win or a good win depends on Castillo.

 

They're both past their best. Castillo for all the tough fights he's had, and Hatton because he dosen't look after himself when not training.
Whoever wins, they should get full credit for their victory and not have some little forum dickheads try to sour it for them. Show some bloody respect!

 

To everyone saying Castillo in his prime would destroy Hatton, please tell me what year or years his prime was in. It should be interesting.

 

Expose? How does a guy with over 60 fights get exposed? He's lost before if he losses again it won't be because Hatton exposed him.:deal

 

And what does it say about Hatton who arguably lost his one and only fight at 147.

 

I'm not beefing with you I was agreeing with you and just made another point.:good

 

He won dip****. And all that says us he may not be right for 147.atsch

 

Suck my dick ***** and stay the **** out of grown folks business.:thumbsup

 

You, grown?

Why don't you tell us why he ALMOST lost his only fight at 147. Did you ask because you DON'T KNOW WHY? or because you were insinuating something.

 

Yo Pimp C there is a new Mayweather thread in the general boxing forum!

Go on boy, FETCH

 

Relax Lance, I'm just sitting around my computer drinking on my birthday weekend about to go out and hit the club, looking forward to tonight and the fight on saturday.:good

 

Happy Birthday! Make sure you have a driver. :thumbsup
