i think that a guy like castillo would pose more of a threat than any of the other people in his weight class, in a barroom environment.
i say this not only because of his last two fights. I honestly thought he beat Mayweather and then I thought he was a damn good fighter, but I didnt really examine him as a fighter and take a look at his attributes.
the man is unstoppable, people speak of great chinned fighters never going down but a guy like castillo that throws defense out the window and just takes your sunday punch and keeps coming, is probably one of the fighters id be most afraid of stepping into the ring with. not many people on this earth can take a punch as big as the one corrales hit him with at the end of 9 and have your knees buckle but somehow catch yourself, its really amazing to watch a guy save himself like that instictually, although brutal.
now lets talk about how he fights and his best punch, which i think are the lead left hook upstairs and to the body. not only because it seems to be the punch he trains the most and quickest hook style punch, but his lead left hook to the head is almost as short as mayweathers and way more powerful. it's a beautiful , underrated, short left hook and I never hear anyone on here talk about it.
basically i admire the guy for coming out of a war like he did at age 34 taking all that punishment and losing ...and then going right back in the gym with the rematch in his mind, busted his ass training on what he did well in the ring like an intelligent fighter should i.e. his best landed shots were the lead left hook etc, turned his old left hook into a 20mm cannon and unleashed it for the 4th round tko. gotta love the guy.
out of all the fighters that really eat sleep and **** boxing i'd have to say castillo wins my vote. to lose and come back so hard is just awesome..
