    I think Hatton wins on points if anything though.I just don't see him stopping the durable Castillo.He's not a dangerous puncher like Corrales.

      If Hatton wins the amount of respect I give him is determined by the way that he wins. If he wins the first half than tires and holds on to a very close fight I wont like it. But if he outboxes/knocks him out I will say that my previous thoughts on him were all wrong.
      i dont think the weioght will be an issue either after castillo had probelms boiling down anyway.

      gonna be a war, just hope hatton comes up with a performance better than
      his fight against kostya (which i dont rate overly even tho he won convincingly)

        I'd respect any fighter more if they beat JLC.

        JLC is a very good fighter.

          hes great until he fights a brit, then suddenly hes ****e.

          Kostya Tsyzu was great too, until he fought a brit.

          Jeff Lacy was great too, until he fought a brit.

          see where im goin here

            Tszyu was an excellent fighter, but Lacy was overhyped.

            It wasn't hard to see that he was very flawed, well before Joe beat the life out of him. It just took a better fighter like Calzaghe instead of guys like Reid, Pemberton, and Williams to show it.

              First off I think Castillio is gonna win the fight. I think Hattons people see a war torn warrior who maybe coming close the end. I guess it depends on what kind of fashion Hatton won whether i would give him credit or not. Even Tszyu was coming to the end of his career when Hatton beat him.

                yeah, but until hatton beat tsyzu they never gave him a hope.
                then suddenly all sorts of factors are brought into play like inactivity and age.

                in lacys case it was pure blind faith and even a novice fan should of been able
                to see lacy was pretty one dimensional (yes i know, 1 dimensional is impossible)

                now castillo is getting slated BEFORE hes fought hatton but i didnt see anyone
                saying he was past his best when he fought corales.

                anyways im probaby making something outta nothing
