          yes very true, although I must say i like the way he adapted to Corrales in the rematch.He looked prime for those 4 rounds, I think if he motivates himself for every fight like he did for that he will live up to his name "The Feared One"

            If Corrales didn't have to cut those extra 3 pounds, he would have looked primed as well.

              I honestly think that a couple years ago if he moved to 147 he could wreak A LOT of havoc on the fighters there (same time he fought Steve Johnson for lightweight title). The guy looked extremely fast, strong and tough. But now, he can't do much in 147 but 140 he can do well against all the top-tier except Floyd.

                I was always a big Castillo fan..

                but after that Chico fight, I have lost some respect for him.

                I'd like him to fight someone in a fight that's actually FAIR.

                  A Cotto-Castillo fight would be the **** at 140, Bob could easily make this fight happen...

                    He will be able to trade with Margarito and get the best of it. Margarito isn't some huge puncher at 147. He wears his opponents down for the most part just like Castillo. The difference is Castillo throws short compact punches and Margarito throws wide looping punches. The shorter punches will get there faster and with the close distance Castillo will bring he would make it hard for Margarito to land.
