I don't know if it's pointless. Because except paul williams, margaritos recent opponents weren't better than castillo. Than i don't think castillo is Shot. He just couldn't handle Hattons hook and hold style. So i think that castillo could prepare margarito against cotto because their style is similar ( even if cotto is much more skilled), and for castillo it's a huge chance, because if he wins he is considered again as one of the top boxers
Forget Paul Williams, he fought boring vs Margarito. Margarito vs Cotto is a much more entertaining prospect. Margarito-Castillo is not pointless. Is it unfair? Yes. But it's not pointless. Sending Margarito back to base one for losing to Williams is unfair and disrespectful of his good long run at 147. There aren't many options for Margarito right now. Williams is busy, Ouma just lost, Collazo who cares...this Castillo fight may just be a stay busy fight but you guys are silly because your presumption is that every fight has to be a 'big fight'. You don't hold every fighter to the same standard.
I hope Castillo knocks the shit out of Margarito. Castillo is older now, and not shot but definitely not in his prime either. 3 years ago Castillo has a real shot to win this, even despite the weight difference. Castillo is one of the most routinely underestimated fighters in recent boxing history. Maybe he will make a little history in March and beat Margarito.
In the meantime, let's just hope it's a good fight and give it a chance.
castillo doesn't need to be KTFO bro - why do you hate him? i REALLY hope this fight doesn't get made. seriously.
I feel u but he was being competitive with Hatton, I KNOW he will be obliterated but he is on the comeback trail looking for a title, right? why not play his hand against a man in the mix, if by some miracle Castillo wins he has A LOT on his plate, win/win for him and if he can stand up for this fight then it will be a better one than we give him credit for, I don't think he's shot yet, but Margarito? nah.. Arum is wildin' but if Jose accepts I have to give him at least a LITTLE respect here, he ain't completely shot it's just Ricky Hatton clinches 90% of the time, he got caught with a punch he didn't see coming just like Oscar did, shit happens, I just wish he would have faced someone like Judah or Quintana yo cuz Margarito will NOT try to Box him and out of those 3 names he probably isn't as skilled but he can BANG.. Margarito wins this 100% I just don't want to shit on Castillo so hard, the dude is tough in his own right.. 100
dude he just fought TWO prime ranked undfeated )with the excepion of Clotteys DQ) BACK TO BACK..
his TUNE UP lasted less than one ROUND!!!
so he is fighting another!!!!
live with it....
if margy's next fight was julio diaz, you'd be all over it - wouldn't cha?
the time for tune-ups are done, he needs R E A L fights.

This would be the weirdest match-up of the year imo. It isn't far fetched that a light weight move up to welter weight, but one that's over the hill, just recently got knocked, and is aging rapidly up against a genuine threat at 147, is just bonkers.
Clottey is prime and has one DQ loss and top ten rated..
PW is prime and undefated and top 10 rated..
Floyd comp at 147 is weak bro..Mitchell Zab and Baldo..
when there is Shane, Cotto,PW, Cintron, Clottey....
MArg has FOUGHT three on that list....wake up...
hmm - point taken - but heres the thing. he's not the most feared welter, hes actually far from it - and this fight will just add to his NOT being the most feared welter.
he needs some real fights.
:bottle: hear this will make you feel better
Ok since you think differently. What will this do to Margorito stocks ( not shit) its very pointless. He could fight somebody else instead of Castillo. If Hatton KO him with a body punch what will Margorito do to him. I dont even want to know the outcome.
what hole? you say stuff like that but that's it!
okay, im in a hole? what's your point?..
make some sense...Murland smells like corn chips BTW.
the hole that has no light at the end of the tunnel when defending margy's recent body of work. you can't compare it to mayweather - check it - margy's last 3 .. an L to pwill, an outstanding win against schlong and now another step up with castillo - you see what i'm getting at? while mayweather has - well, why even say it, you know his resume - i mean you recite it all the time.
thanks for exposing yourself as a hater..
still upset that Floyd made 1,765,384 excuses not to fight MArg..?
what'd i teach you yesterday? when advocating for margy - you can't bring up mayweather, you dig yourself a bigger hole.
hahaa - i've forgotten more about boxing that you'll ever know, son.
also - you're wanting this fight to get made, this 2nd rate opinion renders you stuipd.
this is margarito stepping up? fighting castillo? PLEASE debate with me!
honestly castillo is a step up, from golden johnson and some other opponent he fought recently ( xept williams)
so damn dumb...
Marg walks around at 164-165..
do you watch boxing or just come in here to babble?
hahaa - i've forgotten more about boxing that you'll ever know, son.

Margarito fights the kind of fight that Castillo needs, he will sit there and bang and NOT on the inside neither, he will brawl and Castillo needs that.. I can LIGHTEN up on my doubt but I still doubt Margarito would win, I just hate to count someone as accomplished as Castillo, to do such a great effort against Floyd was great and him and Chico(R.I.P) had their war, he is relevant in history, he probably wont be a all time great but he WILL be remembered, I can drop a little light on Castillo pulling an upset BUT thats only because I know this will be a WAR and history has shown ANYBODY can win one of those even once, I guess it wishful thinking, it certainly contradicts what I said in the other thread about this fight but sometimes opinions change..
not to say I PICK him cuz I don't but to just rule him out like that would be foul for someone who was doing fairly well against Hatton until that 1 PUNCH landed, even the great Oscar De La Hoya fell to a shot like that.. I don't change my opinion I still think Tony fucks him up BUT being that it will be Castillo's kind of fight and he has a good CHIN I say it can be more competitive than what I originally went on record to say, he got power and if he's as serious as I'm hoping he is about his comeback then I see a GOOD WAR but nonetheless Margarito wins either way.. 100
