Do You Agree Ricky Has The Style To Beat Floyd?

Well, it proved something to me. When posed with a fighter he should take out, he does. And that's what Castillo was at that point. A pretty damn shot fighter. I don't see him having much left to offer this busines. And I don't think it has anything to do with Hatton "destroying his career."Comment

Well it proved to me that Hatton can knock people out with body shots. If Castillo was "shot" as you say, that still doesn't explain how his ribs were injured. Ribs don't get "shot." That was all Hatton's doing.Comment

Nothing has proven that his ribs were injured. Other than heresay. Castillo himself denied the claim.Comment

Corrales was pretty over-rated in my opinion, I mean he lost the last three fights of his career in a row, to three different fighters, WHILE STILL IN HIS TWENTIES. Hernandez was no where NEAR prime. And Castillo had had 50 fights already when he BEAT Floyd in the first fight.Last edited by Jim Jeffries; 12-06-2007, 12:28 AM.Comment

That applies to whether or not Castillo's ribs were broken, and to tell you the truth nobody knows the truth there (other than one poster on this site saying "he saw an interview with Castillo denying his ribs were broken."). But, I think it's safe to say they were injured.......something happened.Comment

Thanks for reading my post on that. It goes to show how you read other posts besides your own. (not enough to take it in and consider something you deem to be wrong)Comment

He also fought essentially BIG NAMES FIGHTERS. Including those losses, and the names he beat/got beaten by.. His resume is still better than Hatton's at this point.
Hatton..
Kostya Tszyu..
Floyd Mayweather..
Sharmba Mitchell..
Jose Luis Castillo..
Corrales..
Jose Luis Castillo, twice (CLOSER TO PRIME VERSION)..
Floyd Mayweather..
Acelino Freitas..
Joel Casamayor..
Angel Manfredy..
Four of his five losses were to guys with chances at making it into the HALL OF FAME. Out of all the names Hatton has beaten, he's only fought ONE Hall of Famer.
Corrales had wins over Castillo, Casamayor, Manfredy, and Freitas (his first loss).
Legacy, AT THIS POINT..
Corrales > Hatton.Comment
