Jose Luis Castillo (Prime) vs. JMM @ 135

[deejd]

No boxing ability? Diego Corrales? That is completely false.

Really? You think Corrales was an outstanding boxer...? I watched a flat-footed slugger who didn't know how to jab. Not trying to deuce on Corrales because I was a fan of his, but I just don't think he was a technician.

I wholeheartedly disagree, D. Corrales won the Casamayor rematch with his jab. He just didn't use his reach often enough, which was really a shame. But Corrales was a damn good boxer - watch the first Castillo bout again.

I'll do that and try to see what you see, but when I think boxer I'm thinking a vast array of skills. Again, I'm not saying Corrales doesn't have skills because it would be an outright lie, but in my opinion, he liked to stalk, stand in front, and ****.

Definitely 2 Mexicans in another fight of the year but also a fight that would end both my bros' careers.

No I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that an accumulation of punches from a Marquez at '35 vs. a prime Castillo can lead to a stoppage.

Just because Mayweather doesn't stop 'fighter B' doesn't mean everybody else can't either.

Floyd>>>Marquez<<< Castillo

I see what you're saying...again, watch those fights, bud. Casamayor II and the first Castillo bout.

but it took someone with unreal power at 135 in Chico a full ten rounds of clobbering JLC to stop him and even then JLC never left his feet

while I never say never I can't see JMM stopping him even after an accumulation

[Bastian Loc]

I don't know, sig. You could make the same statement about coming forward against Floyd and look at the hell Castillo gave him. Casamayor was ancient, Diaz was finished and Katsidis...meh. I don't know. A prime Castillo, on the other hand, probably could've beaten every junior welter not named Kostya Tszyu at that time. He was really a monster. But...I'm still thinking about this fight

JMM is only a year younger than Casa.

Diaz wasn't "finished" in that first fight, he fought well in spots and only lost once to Campbell.

Katsidis is a beast, so shove your "meh" up your ass.


Castillo in his prime was a massive lw, I don't know who to pick in this fight because Castillo was a very skilled guy. Yet some people make it sound like he was some crude slugger or something.

Pickem fight.

[BoxingFan25]

castillo in a close unanimus decision.kinda like the first half of diaz/marquez fight but castillo has etter chin than diaz. and is also more skilled and hits harder.

[Phenom]

at 135 I think JLC wins a close decision the guy was a beast at lightweight
