If you had quoted the rest of my post, the point I was trying to make was - when the bell rings and they are facing eachother, who cares about past fights? Its gonna be 2 fighters at their peak, who hate eachother. Anything can happen, thats the point that lots of people fail to grasp.
For example, an honest evaluation of Castillo's work over the past few years should have told us that he was badly faded. So, in a way, we "wasted" a big fight. Big fights are too infrequent and too important to waste on bad matchups. We know that FMJ isn't going to fight that many more fights....don't you want him to be REALLY tested before he checks out of the game?

Yeah, we know FMJ isn't gonna fight many more fights. You seem to think that Ricky won't be a challenge? Dont ****in joke. He's gonna give Floyd Mayweather the fight of his life.

Think about it, if Hatton had not fought Castillo he would have fought Malignaggi, Torres or maybe even Witter. There would have been no reason for Mayweather to sit up and take notice.

Originally posted by Steelhammer86 View PostTake a closer look at Mayweather's resume:
In his 22nd fight in Oct 2000, he chose Emmanuel Augustus 22-16-4, who had lost 4 of his previous 6 fights.
His big wins:
Philip N'Dou, who we've recently seen in action, a mediocre boxer at best
Zab Judah, who had just been beaten by Baldomir, and has been KOed by Tszyu and Cotto
Jose Luis Castillo, who Hatton KOed in the 4th round
Diego Corrales, who was KOed by Castillo
Carlos Baldomir, a tough but limited and shot fighter
Arturo Gatti, an entertaining but limited and shot fighter
De La Hoya, a great fighter but was past his prime and had been inactive for several years
Ricky Hatton will expose Floyd Mayweather...
This guy just owned Mayweathers career.
