Enigma: Jose Luis Castillo

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Maybe, but then again Castillo's career is almost over, Hatton is half way through, so how can you compare them?

Hatton and Graham have both speculated on retirement, and/or only a few more fights.

Hatton is prepping for his 44th fight. Halfway?

When a guy is ten years and 44 fights into a career, I do not think it is premature to review his accomplishments.

Much has been spoken about Jose Luis Castillo's involvement in the careers of Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton. Of course, we've heard it all, mainly that JLC was "shot" when he fought Hatton, and that he was a great fighter when he was overcome by Floyd. As to being shot; maybe so, maybe no. In my view, JLC never laid down to anybody. One thing for certain, JLC is a pressure oriented, skilled boxer-puncher. His first fight with Floyd at 135 provides one interesting blue-print of how to successfully take a fight to Floyd. In the clip below, you will note how Floyd elected to stand in against JLC (kudos to Floyd) and became vulnerable to a sustained head and body attack. In the second clip, you will note Hatton's offensive pressure. Hopefully from this we may catch a glimpse of what is to come in December. If so, we're in for a great fight.

Mayweather v. Jose Luis Castillo I:

Seriously, can you go one day without mentioning Floyd's name. If you dont like him, why do constanly keep talking about him?

Here's the worst case scenario:

Mayweather lost that fight and got a gift decision. He then rematched Castillo immediately and beat him convincingly. There is no doubt who the better man is.

There it is.

Floyd had to run like a ***** to beat him in the second fight. That proves who the better man is how exactly?

Halfway?

Hatton is barely 29, he isn't going anywhere. 43 fights, what's your point? He's a busy fighter.

What fight did you watch. Yeah I admit that the first fight was close but he beat the brakes of off Castillo in the second fight. So what point are you trying to prove. Please dont let your hate for another man keep you from the facts.
