Is this the same guy i saw in the espn ppv, if it\'s the same guy. I don\'t think he\'s all that good. he\'s one of the these boxers that is full of crap.
Who started this thread? Are your smoking something, insomnia maybe? Come on now, Hopkins is only know for two things, beating Tito and Oscar; One is a former Welter and the other a former Junior Lightweight. Big Deal. He fought a raw Taylor and lost. Hopkins is so over-rated it\'s ridiculous. And on top of that he\'s boring to watch. Top ten maybe. Vida Guerra has a Phat Ass.i disagree with you with hopkins. but i do love the ass on vida.
As you can tell my fellow statesman Castillo is my favorite fighter and i say it remains to be seen whether or not Castillo can be as strong as the natural 147 pounders like Margarito. morales has no business at 135, I m just glad he didnt fight Corrales cause Corrales would have eneded his career. At 135 raheem can and will beat Morales again if he fights just like he did the first fight.
It takes a special kind of fighter to jump 2 and 3 weight division and be equally competative as he was in his first. Mayweather has the speed and brilliant D,Jones had his speed and reflexes. Mexican fighters like Castillo dont do to well cause he relies on his power,chin and strength. He will not be the stronger man at 147. he can be the tougher guy no doubt and win fights at that weight on sheer balls but like I said it remains to be seen.don\'t you think morales was not in shape in the raheem fight. i agree morales is not belt like castillo, so its better for him to stay at 130. castillo is big boned i can see him being even be better at the higher weights. the only guy that will trouble castillo is maywether, i think castillo will beat everyone else. he will ko zab with one punch, he will beat hatton, he will beat tszyu or anyone else at 140-147.
Saying Jose Luis Castillo would beat Margarito is just pure insanely, CRAZY!why? castillo is the better boxer, better chin, he can easily put on some extra weight in be stronger. castillo is one of the few that becomes better with more weight.
I think you are bored, don\\\'t really believe that, and just trying to make a 10 page topic for your own ammusement...you don\'t think he\'s the greatest, then who is. i think hopkins is better then monzon, hagler or anyone else. 20 straight title defenses.
Wlad\'s going to go 5 fights without being knocked out and Vitali\'s going to step up and fight a credible fighter?
That will be a shocker.
Where did you hear this?what\'s with the hate bro. give some respect to the klitchko\'s.
I would say that, Castillo definatley has better skills but Margarito is stronger than Castillo.When you seperate the weight differences things change. Look what happened to Morales againts Raheem. No doubt Morales is the better fighter but at 135 he proved he is nothing.Same thing can happen to castillo.If he can bring his power and his chin to compete with natural 147 pounders then ya, he can beat Margarito.morales had a bad night, he will kill raheem if they fight again. that was not morales i knew. castillo is very strong, he\'s the better boxer. castillo is getting stronger with more weight, just ask corrales. castillo has the best chin in i\'ve ever seen, very similar to chavez.
He\'s top 10, but #1 is stretching it.
Robinson, Greb, Hagler and Monzon all rank higher.
20 wins is great, but you can\'t take a stat and say it\'s the end all be all.hopkins will beat hagler or monzon.
Not a hope in hell!...
He held on to that IBF belt for years fighting Robert Allen over and over again & a load of nobodies whilst avoiding decent competition, untill a couple of welterweights/super-featherweights \"that generated PPV money\" moved up to face him.
Those are his \"CAREER DEFINGING FIGHTS!\" - Don\'t make me laugh!... LOL!...show some respect to the great hopkins.
power is something your born with.its a gift it doesnt matter how muscular you look.what matters is your conditioning.example who hits harder tito or joppy.
if you base it on looks it be Joppy but you saw what happened.Punching power is natural and I think it might have to do with how big your bones are not your muscles.so true...........
Even for me that is a little far fetched but i like the way you think.You could be right but it remains to be seen.
Castillo had his crack at Mayweather twice and although I thought he won the first and gave Mayweather his biggest test,he will not beat him unless Mayweather has slown down a bit.
Morales can be given a second chance and we will go from there.if mayweather brawls castillo he will lose. i\'m also the biggest castillo fan, i had maywether winning both fights, the first one was very close. i hope maywether goes to 154 fight winky. castillo is very underrated in my book, people should recognize that he\'s the second best fighter today. i dont want to sound biased, that\'s just my opinion.
This coming from the guy who just called them both \"great\".
FYI:
I don\'t hate either of them. I hate the deluded and spitefull section of their fan base that contributes to them being two of the most hyped fighters in the sport in contrast to what they\'ve actually accomplished.
Wlad has fought some good fighters, but he\'s in a rebuilding process. He has some very bad losses.
Vitali gets the lion\'s share of the acclaim, and he\'s done nothing to deserve it. He has a weak overall resume, and since winning a vacated portion of the Heavyweight title in a fight agaisnt a fringe contender, he\'s defended it once agasint another fringe contender.they are the best today.
yup, that is the guy. you seem to know a lot about fighters and boxing.
Just cause a guy isnt flamboyant in the ring doesnt mean he cant kick some ass.castillo will beat this guy if he comes up. castillo is the best fighter in the lower weights. he finished corrales with one punch. castillo is big, he can easily move up.
If Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad aren\'t Hopkins \"CAREER DEFINING FIGHTS\" then what are?he just beat everybody, 20 straight title defenses is no joke. yes he beat 2 legends. just picture hagler or monzon against hopkins. i see hopkins outsmart both of them.
Fresno, but I\'m staying in Germany right now. He might beat Taylor in the rematch but Hopkins is still boring to watch. Hey are you a Chico fan? I was, I was so pissed when PBF stopped his ass. I was sure he\'d knock out Floyd. That\'s before I realized Mayweather was the TRUTH.castillo is my favorite fighter, i do like chico. i do love that picture from chico.
Jermain Taylor?
No, but seriosuly,
any of the other top ten middleweights would have been a tough test, and vice versa.
I\'d pick Greb, Robinson, Monzon, and Hagler to win, but it\'s not a certianty.
It seems you\'re trying to speak like your thoughts are factual.i will give you robinson, hopkins can outbox hagler, monzon or greb. hopkins is the smartest fighter today.
