Wat If These 2 Warriors Met At 140.....i Think It Would Be A Great Fight.there Both 2 Of My Fav Fighters. Cotto Would Be Tha Stronger Of The 2, But Castillo Is A Tough Ass Dude And Could Also Hurt Cotto (im Sure He Can If Corley Could Rock Him) Wat Would Be The Outcum Of This Fight? I Think Castillo Would Take A Decision, He Beat Mayweather Im Sure He Could Outbox The Young Cotto. But Then Again Cotto Might Maybe Be Able To Hurt Castillo.
I have to agree with you on this one. (Even though you and I cannot agree on Calzaghe lol) anyway Cotto like all of bob arums stable of fighters, actually fights many divisions lower than he should. He actually should be at 147 or 154 and possibly even 160. He is way too big to be fighting there and he would simply come into the fight way bigger than castillo and simply manhandle the smaller man.
but thts smart training man, u can't blame him for sumthing like that, its smart...
I have not seen either fight, I can only go on the same peoples word who proclaimed Castillo won the Casamayor fight, and Hopkins won the Taylor fight. :D
At least your being honest and let me also be I can't remember seeing the Casamayor/Castillo fight so no comment and Hopkins/Taylor No further comment I had it 115-113 B-Hop but would have accepted a draw that would have been most fair to all.
WOW!... Talk about split down the middle!...
I'd pick Cotto by points, I think he'd be too big and too strong for Castillo. - (Cotto would probably walk into the ring on fight night weighing 160lbs!)

Castillo was outboxed by a slow, tried, and non- caring Casamayor, Corrales when not implanted infront of Castillo can pick him off on the outside easily, sort of like Morales/Barrera and Gatti/Ward (who Gatti and Morales can outbox the other). They make a great fight but you get the wrong impression, those are merely for show and tell.
Have you forgotten the very close fights Castillo had with PBF why did'nt he get picked off so bad then , You think Cotto could give PBF One fight like Castillo did let alone two.
Just proving a point since people think Cotto is bigger than them when its not true, those guys are infact bigger than Cotto.
Yeah, but just because fighter a beats fighter b who beat fighter c doesn't mean a can beat c...it's even less accurate when you just compare fighters similar to other fighters who have no type of connection in opponents or style.

Nobody said they were smaller or at least I did not but I did say they both beat him and that is the bottom line we have yet to see his heart and determination as we have from the fore-mentioned JLC and DC.
Both Corrales and Castillo are huge for their weights, they are natural welterweights on Slim Fast. Either way, Cotto would beat the living shit of both of them. It'd be a good fight like the Pinto one, with Cotto coming with a KO around the 6th.
aaaaaaaaaaaa yeah o.k.???
It would be a good match up but Castillo would win this fight.
I cant understand this big deal about Cotto strength, he's never really shown anything that would suggest he's any stronger than Castillo, i'd say Castillo would be the tougher, stronger fighter if they fought at 140.
Castillo would f**k cotto up plain and simple. Cotto is okay no doubt but hasnt fought somone that will test his chin and skills as much as castillo. Castillo been hit hard by corrales already,he will take what cotto has to offer and sto him. But where probably on our way to a corrales/castillo trilogy now so i dont see it happening anytime soon (if it happens)but he has talked that cotto or floyd is his first pick to fight at 140..i think he mentioned Hatton also.

It is nice to see someone remembering Castillo beating Mayweather.Castillo by UD over Cotto.
hmm
Cotto would not be too big for Castillo. Castillo himself comes into fights at 155 lbs. Cotto comes in at 157-158. Also, Castillo would have an additional advantage fighting at 140 because Cotto struggles to make that weight while Castillo would have some relief not having to make 135 lbs.
Cotto would NOT be outboxing Castillo either. Corrales tried at times and was not very successful. Casamayor couldn't keep it up and he's a better BOXER than Cotto. Also, Castillo made Floyd his bitch in their 1st fight and no way is Cotto a better boxer than Floyd.
If Castillo isn't too far over the hill from his waring style, then this fight might very well look like Margarito-Cintron.
I pick Cotto by UD or late Ko...Cotto has a good defense and boxing skills. Castillo is more a of a brawler who doesn't use his jab enough and does not have a good defense. Cotto would take advatage of that and land some combos. Lights out JLC.
What a great matchup!
I think Corrales hits alot harder than Cotto and I would feel more comfortable with my boy JL in the ring with Cotto as opposed to Diego.
I like JL by stoppage, if you are going to beat JL in a brawl you need unique firepower, Chico has unique firepower, I dont believe Cotto does and would wonder what the fuck he had gotten himself into in the later rounds.
People talking about about Cotto coming in too big for Castillo must not know how big Castillo likes coming into fights. Who wins? I don't know.
You’re right Castillo comes in big and this weight would probably suit him more, but I think a lot of Cotto and though I don't think its a fore gone conclusion, I think he would outbox Castillo to get a UD but Castillo will definitely have his moments with his pressure and work rate.
