im wondering what excuses...

[Calabrese]

I can't believe everyones overhyping Castillo. Hatton is a whole different fight then fighting Corrales. Hatton is better then Corrales in every single way, and a better inside fighter then Castillo. All the guys that are saying Hatton is an unskilled brawler have only seen the Tszyu fight.

Hatton's strategy was to go out, work the body and close the distance then clinch up to sap KT's energy. It worked well because KT was getting old and a little past his prime (He was still a good fighter though).

Name some noteworthy opponents Ricky Hatton has beat.

He beat Tszyu a HOFer, and that deserves some credibility. He hasn't even tasted loss yet so we'll see. I think he'll make quick work of Maussa, and then ideally he'll go for floyd.

Even KT would beat Castillo, movement is not Castillos best friend, if a boxer doesnt stand around for Castillo to knock him out (ala Corrales), than Castillos inside fighting does not mean anything..and no, KT is wayy better than Castillo

That is about it. Here I'll help you out.

Vince Phillips
Ray Olivera
Ben Tackie
Eamon Magee

Even at that...the level of fighters he has been facing is weak to say the least. He fought his first 5 fights in the U.S.A. with real fighters....then has not fought here since.

Castillo on the other hand has faced a whole different level of opposition and holds wins over these fighters:

Steve Quinonez
Stevie Johnston
Cezar Bazan
Floyd Mayweather Jr (I still maintain he was robbed)
Juan Lazcano
Joel Casamayor
Diego Corrales
Julio Diaz

Sturdy list of fighters to say the least. Arguably the best list of wins you will find in boxing outside of the person he was robbed against.

As hard as it is for me to say it, I think Castillo would stop Cotto late, after a big time slugfest.

Even a big time Cotto fan admits he would lose that fight.

Enough said.

Castillo is a better fighter, experience, skillwise, and tough wise than tszyu.

Frankly I dont know if he is as big, i havent looked but Castillo is definitely a better fighter.

I have to disagree with this completely!

Castillo is nowhere near Kostya Tszyu skillwise or experience wise (He might be a little tougher I'll give you that).

Kostya Tszyu has dominated the light-welterweight division for YEARS! He unifyied the division and beat some excellent fighters in devistating fashion along the way.

In short, Kostya Tszyu is in the list of being one of the greatest fighters of the last 20yrs.

Castillo is a good fighter, but that's all. He's nowhere near Kostya Tszyu in terms of skill, and experience: Kostya Tszyu won the IBF belt in his 14th fight and went on to defend it (whilst collecting others along the way) all around the World for the best part of a decade.

Castillo has never acheived anything near this level of success... In fact most of his biggest fights (Mayweather twice and Corrales 1) he actually lost them.

I know Castillo is the flavour of the month at the moment, but lets not get too carried away.

There are even other active Mexican fighters at the moment that are ranked higher and acheived more than him.

yeah, hatton beat tough guys. I'll be the first to admit that Hatton doesn't have a good resume, but as you can see most british fighters don't. I've seen about 5 fights of Hatton and he's world-class. He's definetly going to give Floyd fits when they fight (I KNOW this fight will happen).

Like I said I've seen Hatton fight many times, only thing i have to knock him for is he won't fight real fighters in the USA. I truly think his time will come though...

Steve Quinonez?
Stevie Johnston?
Cezar Bazan Cotto KO 2
Floyd Mayweather Jr lost
Juan Lazcano hmmm
Joel Casamayor lost and robbed him
Diego Corrales lost and cheated
Julio Diaz hmmm

Overall Hatton has done better since Castillo is ending his career and hasnt cerditly beaten anybody yet...Hatton still has time to prove himself and he has about half the fights Castillo has..

Just to let you know.

Ultimate and I have been Castillo fans for the longest time now.
