the boriquas or the britts are gona use wen castill tears up cotto and hatton? lol
4reals tho
but does everyone use excuses for everythig? cmon bottom line he got poped.
135 is Lightweight, below that is for midgets, Cottos at 140, thats probaly 20 to 30 pounds from his natural weight, add Castillo and Corrales - to that, its almost 50 or 60 pounds to fight at a midget weight...
Hey meng..
Not hatin or nothin...
but if anyone under 135 is a midget..
I guess Gomez, Cotto(miguels brother), Calderon are all midgets?
Guys 31 now, when is he gonna grow up?
What is your point?
He fights at 135.....Cotto fights at 140.
There is virtually no difference.

Cottos fighting at a full weight for normal sized human beings, being a Featherweight is not the same as being a Lightweight...atleast hes in a mans divsion...
Wilfredo Gomes and Juan Laporte did not fight in mans divisions?
Case and Point.
Castillo was not a man when he started fighting in the professional ranks......he was 17.
You dont stop growing untill you are in your mid twenties. Which is around the time he moved up in weight.
YAY! There's still hope for my woody.

When Cotto walks around at 170? and fights at 140?
Cotto is as guilty as Castillo is and in my opinion neither one of them are "guilty".
And Castillo started fighting when he was a child. He grew and filled out in his frame.

But why is a guy walking around 160 pounds at 130 or lower?
Why did Cotto weight 20 pounds more than Corley when they fought?

So why was he at Super Featherweight, or even lower?
Because that is where he started his career.

Hatton will whomp that maphockin cheater!!!!!!
1. Hatton got a chin! He took Tszyu's punches very well.
2. Castillo wants to fight inside, well I got news fo that fat pig. HATTON MIGHt BE BETTA THAN HIM on ta inside. Jest weird angles thorwin punches of all kinds. double jab, 3ple hooks, 2 uppacuts, i hook to ta belly, you name it!! Hatton will confuse ta fat pig.
3. Hatton by TKO!!!
Hatton has much much better defence than Castillo. Both have good stamina but Hatton's is a little better. I dont know about punching power, maybe Castillo has a bit more pop. I would say Hatton is faster and Castillo has no experience yet at 140. He might be better at 140 not having to kill himself so much to make weight but you never know. The main factor though is Hatton's defence is so much better than Castillo's.
I think both of these are false statements. Castillo actually does a pretty good job of taking punches on his gloves...he also moves his head on the inside just slightly enough to lessen some power punches.
Hey "Top Knowledge". I will not undermine KT's career because he was a true champ, but the only reason you are getting into this arguments is because your boy beat him. And we can all see that plain and simple.
Now Castillo is knocking at the door and your boy will sooner or later have to open it if he wants some real respect from American fans, but if he wants to just fight the Maussas of the sport and be happy with his european fan base thats cool too, he gets all my respect, just don't compare him to somebody that has been fighting the best in his division (and beating them) thruout his career.
Again I'm not comparing KT's career, his place in the HOF is secured, but Hatton's is not and if you think that a win over KT will get him there, you better change your nickname to "half ass knowledge" or something like that.
Castillo has no experience yet at 140.
Castillo has four fights at Junior Welterweight.
Scratch that.
Eight fights at 140 and above.

I have to disagree with this completely!
Castillo is nowhere near Kostya Tszyu skillwise or experience wise (He might be a little tougher I'll give you that).
Kostya Tszyu has dominated the light-welterweight division for YEARS! He unifyied the division and beat some excellent fighters in devistating fashion along the way.
In short, Kostya Tszyu is in the list of being one of the greatest fighters of the last 20yrs.
Castillo is a good fighter, but that's all. He's nowhere near Kostya Tszyu in terms of skill, and experience: Kostya Tszyu won the IBF belt in his 14th fight and went on to defend it (whilst collecting others along the way) all around the World for the best part of a decade.
Castillo has never acheived anything near this level of success... In fact most of his biggest fights (Mayweather twice and Corrales 1) he actually lost them.
I know Castillo is the flavour of the month at the moment, but lets not get too carried away.
There are even other active Mexican fighters at the moment that are ranked higher and acheived more than him.
I respect your opinion cus ur a cool cat however,
Saying tsyzu dominated and ruled for a long time is far far away from the truth.
Yeah he won the IBF title from a nobody. He would then go on to beat yet have a lot of trouble against a super old and spent roger mayweather. Then he would get stopped against Vince Phillips who took his belt. He would then have a good run at coulda beens that never were like Rafael Ruelas, hurtado etc. And beat Miguel Angel Gonzalez who could not even beat a old spent chavez. Then he would go and beat an even more spent chavez.
The only guy that really was anything at the time he fought him and is anything right now that he beat was Zab Judah. It was always a tournament of named fighters with tzyu.
Leija
Chavez
Mayweather
Gonzalez
Ruelas
All of them were just big names but they were no longer threats. Like i said the only real threat he faced was Judah and that was in 2001! And Judah was an inexperienced, cocky, prospect at the time.
So... his coming out fight was in 2001. He fought 4 guys since, beat 2 small guys (tackie and Leija) beat One frightened fighter (mitchell). And lost to Hatton who also looked bad against tackie, and had faced relative unknowns.
Ruled or dominated definitely isnt the word.
------------------------------------------------------
Jose Luis Castillo on the otherhand.
Around the same time
He would start in 2001 by giving a beating to and knock out a Prime Cesar Bazan. And he would do it only in 6 rounds. Then he would put his title on the line agaisnt mayweather JR in which many believe he got robbed. Mayweather is the #1 p4p fighter int he world today and the man to beat 140 btw. He would later loose to Mayweather in a rematch but still give him hell. People would right him off, and then he would pull out the upset against Juan Lazcano in a bloddy brutal in which the blood was Mostly lazcano's the avoided man of 135 lbs. He would then beat Joel Casamayor in a close fight with Joel fading out at the end due to body work. Then he would brutalize IBF champ Julio Diaz. Then treat us to back to back fights against Corrales where dished out as good as he got in the first and stopped him in the second.
Castillo has faced the better level of opposition at ring time over and over than tszyu ever did.
You forgot Ben Tackie, Julio Cesar Chavez, Vince Phillips...
He lost to Vince Phillips by stoppage.....and never rematched him.
Chavez was in his mid eighties

I'm not saying that Castillo is shit or anything, he's not... He's a good solid pro.
But I just can't get my head around:
After everything that Kostya Tszyu has achieved in boxing. :eek:
What is so hard to understand? Kostya has beaten these noteworthy opponents:
Sharmbra Mitchell
Jesse James Leija---(Leija could not have been more blown/washed up)
Zab Judah---(Lucky punch at best)
Miguel Angel Gonzales
Diobelys Hurtado
Hugo Pineda
Ben Tackie
And that is it. I think that list is decent...but not as impressive as Castillo.

Just to let you know.
Ultimate and I have been Castillo fans for the longest time now.

As hard as it is for me to say it, I think Castillo would stop Cotto late, after a big time slugfest.
Even a big time Cotto fan admits he would lose that fight.
Enough said.

He beat Tszyu a HOFer, and that deserves some credibility.
That is about it. Here I'll help you out.
Vince Phillips
Ray Olivera
Ben Tackie
Eamon Magee
Even at that...the level of fighters he has been facing is weak to say the least. He fought his first 5 fights in the U.S.A. with real fighters....then has not fought here since.
Castillo on the other hand has faced a whole different level of opposition and holds wins over these fighters:
Steve Quinonez
Stevie Johnston
Cezar Bazan
Floyd Mayweather Jr (I still maintain he was robbed)
Juan Lazcano
Joel Casamayor
Diego Corrales
Julio Diaz
Sturdy list of fighters to say the least. Arguably the best list of wins you will find in boxing outside of the person he was robbed against.

I can't believe everyones overhyping Castillo. Hatton is a whole different fight then fighting Corrales. Hatton is better then Corrales in every single way, and a better inside fighter then Castillo. All the guys that are saying Hatton is an unskilled brawler have only seen the Tszyu fight.
Hatton's strategy was to go out, work the body and close the distance then clinch up to sap KT's energy. It worked well because KT was getting old and a little past his prime (He was still a good fighter though).
Name some noteworthy opponents Ricky Hatton has beat.
