    You're saying Castillo was not that good IN HIS PRIME, but by most accounts he beat a prime Mayweather. Then you're saying a year and a half after knocking out Corrales in the 4th round (arguably Mayweather's biggest and most impressive win in the 10th round, and winning his two fights since, all of a sudden turns into a BUM, just because Hatton beats him, I just don't get it. Call him a B fighter when Hatton beat him if it makes you feel better, but anything less than that is a crock.

          No ******, I was saying he was extremely faded in the Hatton fight. He couldn't even stand on his ****ing feet. His balance was more ****ed than Jenna Jameson.

          He was very good in his prime, probably an A fighter (A+ is not a rating to be taken lightly)... probably a B minus/C plus fighter. You have to be pretty diminished to not mount a single piece of effective offense.

            Castillo amounted more effective offense against hatton than Baldomir, De La Hoya, or Gatti in their fights vs Floyd, yet wins against them are incessantly crowed about.

                      You have a damn low opinion of the offense Oscar mounted considering you thought he won that fight. Pretty ridiculous statement, pick one and go with it, either Oscar won the fight, or he didn't mount an effective offense at all, it can't be both.

                      Gatti didn't mount an offense because he was getting the **** slapped out of him, he did try to throw punches in the first couple of rounds.

                      Baldomir tried to throw a bunch of punches, but elusiveness on Floyd's part made it so his offense was ineffective. When is the last time you saw Ricky Hatton move out of the way of a punch?

                      Emanuel Steward: "I was surprised how bad he looked in the first 10 seconds."

                      Did you not see his ass fall down multiple times from Hatton clinching him?

                      No his balance didn't have anything to do with Hatton, because it was ****ed before the fight even started, he looked terrible before the first punch was even landed.
