It is never to early to start talking about a big fight, so here we go!
--What do you guys think of my boy Chico's chances? I know that Castillo is kind of the trendy pick right now, especially with Diego being inactive since August, but...
While I am obviously gonna hold a little bias, here is why I think Chico is gonna pull if off; people when making a case for Castillo often point to his great performances against Mayweather (when compaired to Corrales' all time worst performance that does not look too bad). But here is the thing- styles make fights and we need to break this **** down! One thing that people should agree on is that the reason Mayweather picked Corrales apart so well is that he is so quick and elusive. This just so happens to be one of Castillo's strong suits (although he likes to stand and slug a little also). HOWEVER, the fact is that while Chico was beaten by the elusive Mayweather, this does not spell certain victory for the sometimes elusive Castillo. Corrales has fought (and beaten) guys who are in my opinion even harder to catch and hit then Castillo, for instance Joel Casamayor (whom both fought and eventually won close decisions against). And there is another thing, Corrales hits harder then Mayweather, harder then Frietas, harder then Casamayor, and harder then Castillo! (As both Frietas and Casamayor who both were put on the canvas by Diego might be inclined to say). And the question is, if Diego is able to catch Castillo, as he did Frietas and Casamayor, will Castillo be able to stand up to his power? And my answer is: "probably not". So therefore I take Corrales by KO.
--Thoughts? Rebuttals? Hate this argument (probably not alone)?
