    Zab. In his prime he was real fast, with good power. I always felt Tszyu got lucky with a good shot, and that if he had fought Zab another 10 times think he would have lost.
    Castillo would be outboxed and KOd.
    Just my opinion

    I dont think weight would be that big of a factor. I have Castillo - PBF 1 right here and for their 135 fight, PBF was 138.5 and Castillo was 147.5 on fight night.


    For their 147 fight, Judah was 150 and PBF was 146 on fight night and that was after Judah was at 147 for a while. So them at 140 would be pretty close to the same size. It would depend more on styles.

    I think at his best Castillo wins due to pressure and consistency down the stretch where as Judah always folded in the late rounds in big fights. But if this is a bit older Castillo who was waring with Corrales and Judah was getting bigger at that time I think Judah takes him.

    Even if Castillo's best weight was 135 I still would have favored him if they fought.

    JLC late TKO.
