We like to diss him but you cant deny that he is a good fighter and easily one of the most talented out there. I honestly cant believe how many people are picking Castillo. I guess they look at it like Hatton is overrated and that Castillo is 10x better then Urango but you cant look at it like that.
People diss Hatton in his win over Collazo but he still won and Collazo is a very good fighter. You could really argue that the collazo win is better then all of Cotto's wins at 147.
I dont see Castillo having any chance unless Hatton continues to look like garbage but I dont think that will happened. P4P this would be a good match but as Ive been saying on here, Castillo has never looked good away from 135. He had fights at 40 & 47 even in his prime and he looked like crap. I havent seen him look good one time yet. Then add to that the fact that Hatton is better then Ricky in nearly every aspect. Despite what one thread said, Hatton is clearly the bigger guy. He's bigger & stronger then Castillo. He also is much faster and is a much better boxer. Castillo has the advantage in experince and he is superior when it comes to techniqal stuff as he is brillant at throwing punches from all angles but thats not enough. Then add on that Hatton wants this so bad. You know he's heard all about the falling off stuff and thats why he's in top shape. Im telling you that it will be hard for anyone in boxing to beat that guy tonight.
I think Castillo could hang and be solid but Hatton will impress and be in control the whole fight. To me, if he does impress then he should be rated P4P over Cotto with wins over Castillo, Tsyzu, & Callazo. Also, I think alot of people just forget how good this cat is. You can hate on him but he does have some mad skill but I think its easy to forget about at times. I might sound crazy but I think Hatton will be so impressive tonight that people will remember how good he is and then you will start hearing a bunch of other stuff that you didnt think you would hear. You will start hearing some people again start to think that he has the best chance to beat Floyd and you will some people say that they would pick him over Cotto. You will also hear people starting to reavaluate what he can do at 147. People will say "was he really that bad at 147 as we made him out to be"? "He did beat a very good fighter in his 1st fight at the weight". They will then say that he should be better this time around at 147 since he will be more ready for the weight.
Then people will talk about 3 fights. 1st they will talk about him vs Paulie. They will say that Paulie matches up better with Cotto then Hatton so he has no chance. They will say that Hatton has the speed to netuarlize Paulie's speed and he cant do anything after that. Some will talk about Floyd. They will say that he's the perfect guy because he's relentless, unlike Cotto he has the speed, and he can get physical. Everyone however will be talking about a Cotto-Hatton fight and there opinons will start to change. Alot of people will say that there nearly the same fighter except for they think Hatton has the better chin and that he is much faster then Cotto. He is tough enough to not be bullied by Cotto and he has fast enough hands to frustrate the hell out of Cotto.
Ricky holds and is inconsistent enough to make me look like a damn fool. Castillo is also good enough to pull it out but I think Hatton makes that statment and everyone will remember how good he is. They wont be able to wait to see what he can do at 147 and they'll just hope that he doesnt go back to holding again. I dont think he will hold hardly any tonight. I think he will flat out box and overwhelm Castillo. Im not even a big Hatton fan but you cant deny his talent. I always said that he struggled at 147 because he fought easily the best or 2nd best guy he's ever fought. He still won though against a very good opponent. People just didnt give Callazo that much credit at the time but the kid can fight. He did straight up beat Tszyu though and too many people make excuses for Tszyu. I think Hatton would beat him nearly every time even in Tszyu's prime. He's just a bad matchup for Tszyu because he has the speed to outbox him, he fights at a 100mph and he can match his physical abilites. Tszyu didnt get old over night. Hatton legitimatly beat him
