    prime castillo KOs pac. he's just too big and strong for pac. the speed will bother jlc, but pac doesn't have the kind of defense that will neutralize jlc's offense.

      speed and footwork is defense too you know. and will work well against a slow plodding castillo. pac won't do a mayweather defense, not his style. but this is not to say pac will win.

        Only time Castillo has been a slow fisted fighter and plodder is in old age. Prime Castillo people were crying for him to move to the 147 divsion.

          I would say Pacquiao Castillo couldnt handle that kinda speed and straight punches down the middle.

          Castillo does well if you just stand there and trade like corrales did or if you do a rope a dope like mayweather jr.

                I agree with your post accept the bold. I really don't believe Pac has been or ever will be a better overall fighter than a prime Castillo. That dude Castillo could fight. Castillo is also more skilled than Margarito so I don't think he would beat Pac by the sheer volume of his punches and his size which is what Margarito did to Cotto. I think even if they were the same size Castillo could beat Pac based on skill and his style.
