    Corrales fighting Tszyu/Hatton would be the dumbest career move in boxing. Corrales would get his ass straight murdered be either fighter. He should stay at 135 and own the division.

      I sort of agree with that.I look at it this way,he's accomplished way more in boxing than many people thought he would,so retiring after a loss wouldn't bother me.

      I think The Road Warrior has three to five good years left.I believe he's gonna win in convincing fashion over Tarver,and put Tarver into retirment.After that,Johnson will either grant Jones Jr a rematch,since he is that nice. Or he'l try and get revenge against Bhop,only if Bhops gets past Taylor and Johnson gets past Tarver(Both look to be tough tasks).

        Re: Chico/Kostya

        Tszyu doesn't have Castillo's chin. If Chico can catch him with a couple of good shots early, the fight will be over. If he can't, the odds are that Kostya will win by KO or TKO after 7. Chico would come into that fight with the handspeed advantage, and is nearly equal to Tszyu in KO power. It'd be a great fight, with Chico boxing more, rather than trying to stand and trade. I'd have to pick Chico by Ko, before 5...I don't think Tszyu would respect his power...he's a head-hunter, and would take too many chances, ending up stunned on the canvas, unable to continue.

        I actually think Hatton would have a better chance at a win (remember, styles make fights), if he jumped on Chico early, throwing as many body shots as possible, stealing Chico's power away quickly.
        Of course Tszyu would respect Chico's power. He respected Ben Tackie for God's sake.
        Guys like Freitas & Roberto Garcia lasted longer against Chico than Tszyu would? I think not...
        Tszyu would take some serious time against Chico, and his biggest worry would be post knock down, because Chico is one dangerous guy.

        Chico would KO Hatton, easy. Hatton's style is PERFECT for Chico. Chico throws those short, powerful, stunning punches. Hatton would play right into Chico's hands, whereas Tszyu would be more patient.

          Chico gets hit REALLY easily and way to much. Add that with the fact that Kostya has laser guided punches creates lots of knockdowns.

Castillo is a bad boy and I was surprised and I bet that Chico was also on how much punishment he could take. I truely believe that this fight took more out of Castillo and the next fight would be more one sided and a earlier KO for Chico.

            Either way Castillo matches up better. He has a better chin then Tszyu and is just as big. Chico would KO Tszyu early

            Took more out of Castillo than Chico, I will bet you every point i have on the rematch, if Chico decdides to go that route.


            Listen up DLT, Listen the **** up! JL Castillo is going to watch the replay of the fight and think to himself that was no big deal, I can do that again and again...and he can!

            Diego is going to watch that replay and think holy ****! I do not want to go thru that again, nor do I think I can...lets bet!

            Zoo vs. Corrales...man you are a big fan...Chico would get annihilated in this one, it would not even be close....wanna bet.

            Morales is the fight for chico, money wise and it is easily winnable...the other two fights will be nothing short of hell and war...I know Castillo is willing to do it again, lets see how Chico feels in six months!

              You are wrong. Castillo has more takened out of him and he would get finished earlier the second time. Chico has been down and hurt before but not Castillo. He's the type that after it happeneds once it will be easier the next time. Aslo I am a Floyd fan but I can recognize a good fighter when I see one and he would KO Tszyu
