Actually, Castillo's 4 losses (prior to PBF) were loses by TKO on account of cuts. Every one of those fights was stopped because Castillo used to cut easily. I don't know what he did to fix the problem, but I haven't seen him cut in a loooong time.Originally posted by masterdirectoror maybe he's french and Rouge is Red Warrior
but no, whats his name is definitely not an all-time great. Unless you consider getting stopped by Julio Alvarez a sign of greatness. And no way in ****ing hell he really beat Casamayor. You obviously didn't watch that fight man. Casa was robbed just to make this ****** ass fight between Corrales and Castillo.
His first loss to PBF was debatable. I thought it was a very close fight and I would've given the nod to Castillo by 115-113. The same goes for the Casa fight. It was very close and I had JLC winning by the same score. I could see the fight being a draw, but to say that Casa should've won or that he was robbed is just wrong.Comment

Hence the reason he has upgraded to v2.02, and has a hardened exterior shell. Diego had better hope he can penetrate it.Originally posted by PRboxingfanI don't know what he did to fix the problem, but I haven't seen him cut in a loooong time.

I think he's got a point...Originally posted by stixNice post. I gotta tell you this though, I'm thinkin' you meant to call yourself ~ rogue warrior. Rogue is the cool one man army warrior dude. Rouge is the powder that women used to put on their cheeks to make them red.Comment

JLC has never been down so far as I can remember. Diego is a hard-hitting mofo but he also doesn't have the best chin. I see Diego making a good fight but getting beaten under the preassure Castillo brings to the table. Castillo wins by KO9.Originally posted by Runw/knivesHence the reason he has upgraded to v2.02, and has a hardened exterior shell. Diego had better hope he can penetrate it.

You just about nailed it. Imo he is the best lightweight currently fighting. Should he beat Corrales then he should be considered an all time great,not the best but atleast top 10.Comment

So let me get this straight.Originally posted by MikeHuntDuran's position as the greatest lightweight ever is secure.
lets say hypothetically:
Castillo beats:
Corrales, Tszyu, rematches and beats Mayweather, Moves up to 147 and beats Mosley, Judah, Spinks etc,
If he did all of that, which I am not saying he will......
he would not eclipse Duran? Because I think he is almost as good at lightweight right now.

First of all...none of that is ever going to happen besides maybe Corrales. He'd give Tszyu a spirited effort but would be stopped in the middle rounds. Mayweather has his number, and the guys at 147 are WAY too much for him. And if he did, then yes he'd be an all-time great lightweight. I don't think he'll come close to eclipsing Duran even if he does half of that...it's just not gonna happen. Duran would have eaten Castillo alive, along with everyone else on that list. JLC is a great fighter, but not an all-time great yet.Originally posted by Runw/knivesSo let me get this straight.

I think the case could be made that he would be the greatest fighter of all time.
not just lightweight IMO.
