    Is Jose Luis Castillo hurting his potential by not moving up to 140?

    I have no doubt that this guy has the chin/power to be in every fight at 140. Hatton vs Castillo makes my mouth water. Castillo vs Tsyzu would be a interesting fight to. I think moving to 140 wouuld be a great move for castillo's career. He doesnt have too many fights left because he is getting up there in age so he should move up to 140 and start challenging the contenders/champs at 140.

    Jose Luis Castillo = future 140 champ

    I hope he fights Mayweather in a 3rd fight, Hatton, Corrales at 140, Tsyzu, Judah, Margarito ( talk about interesting fight)

    anyway who wins at 147. Margarito or Castillo? I know castillo hasnt even touched 147 but man i think he has a shot vs margarito. Physically he may even be stronger than then lanky margarito

    Margarito destroys Castillo.

    PS. Castillo is one of my favorite fighters. I would love to see him vs Cotto and Hatton, if he could beat them, he will be one of the greatest fighters of all time.

        Castillo has had a few fights at 147. All of his fights at 140 and above have been won by knockout. I say he beats Margarito in a war.

          I'd love to see him vs Cotto....i think he would make Cotto quit in 5 or 6..........against Hatton would be a competitive fight and if held in the U.S, would be a close fight.....PBF, after losing the first fight, has Castillo's number now and a third fight would be a repeat of the second fight....

            I think castillo has a good chance of stopping everyone at 140,

            however at 147, I think Margarito ends up being to strong and big for him.

              Imo opinion Margarito does to him what he has done to every fighter that stand and trade with him. I hope im wrong cause as you all know already Castillo is my favorite fighter.

                  Margarito needs distance to land his wide punches. Castillo won't give him that distance. Castillo is also better technically in every way. Castillo's chin would hold up and so would Margarito's but I say Castillo punishes Margarito more than Margarito punishes Castillo.

                  Castillo has way better defense and that would allow him to land more without getting hit too much.

                  Castillo by decision in a war.

                    I like this scenario I guess I have to see Castillo hurracan thru 140 first.
