    They usually close off if said fighter is getting whipped in sparring and/or looks like ass. Hope this isnt the case but more than likey is.

      What?

      Tszyu is the greatest 140 pounder of all time, he beat sharmba mitchell twice, and he only lost in this prime to vince phillips, who as anyone will tell you, was probably as good as ali p4p.

          I think hatton WILL make a statement tonite. And that statement is "I am an overrated fighter with an ugly style who will never have a big career in America".

              Sorry but Castillo (in his prime at least) is the much better boxer than Hatton.

              People always say, you gotta keep your distance with Castillo and u can beat him. Sorry but thats simply not true.

              Sure, Castillo is good on the inside, but I would argue he is even better with a distance between him and his opponent. Corrales knew that and thats why in the first fight he imposed his bigger size on castillo and it was on the inside that castillo had trouble. On the outside it was Castillo popping corrales with jabs and the famous hooks that hurt Corrales.

              Even PBF had trouble with castillo on the outside and for some reason seemed to have better luck fighting him in the first fight.

              Casamayor was another of those fighters who knew to beat Castillo he would have to stay close instead of keep a distance.... in the later rounds when casamayor gave castillo breathing room and forgot to clinch him immidiately castillo went a vicious assault that saw casamayor loosing his mouth piece.

              Hatton is stronger than castillo, and has youth on his side he will need to impose his strength on castillo fight him on the inside and push him on his heals like corrales did in the first. If he gives castillo distance he just gave away his main advantage and one might see experience triumphing over youth.

                i agree 100% that hatton will be in control of this fight. i see him winning by a TKO in the middle rounds, and i expect castillo to not look very good at all (too many wars, etc). i think its gonna surprise people how much hatton dominates this fight. it shouldn't though because in reality he is the clear favorite. but its not gonna be a FOTY war like some people expect.

                castillo is a warrior but his best days are behind him. hatton tko6 castillo

                  He held more then I thought he would but he also did some solid action in between the holes. He's a good fighter though and I cant wait to see what him and the other big names do next. I think nearly everyone is at the point of there careers where they feel unbeatable and they all want big fights. The great thing is these fights can really happened and I think they will. No matter who fights who, it should be a good fight. I dont see any of the top guys fighting any more bums anytime soon. At the end only one will be left on top. Who will it be?
