He doesn't steam roll Castillo at 135 either though. People are saying "Castillo's chin was cracked by Corrales", but Corrales had more one punch power than Manny does. Yes, manny KO'd Hatton with one punch, but so did FLOYD MAYWEATHER, so that says a lot about Hatton's chin. Manny's power comes from his accumilation of punches. Castillo had a pretty good chin, and in his prime, he would have been a tough fight. Would I favor him to beat Pacquiao or Marquez at 135....No. But, he wouldn't get steam rolled like other people are claiming.
Floyd lovers say: Castillo beats Pac.
Manny loversa say: Pac KO's Castillo easily.
And objective and reasonable fan of either guy: Castillo is a tough fight, but I'd favor Pac.
Castillo gave Floyd all he wanted the first fight, and had it not been for his slow start the first 5 rounds, he probably would have been a UD winner. I had Floyd losing that fight by a round when I watched it live. But, at least Floyd rematched a prime Castillo immediately and won convincingly, something Pac doesn't know how to do.
Manny and Marquez have never fought anyone as good as Castillo or Johnston at 135, not even close. David Diaz, Juan Diaz, Michael Katsidis....Castillo and Johnston would have beaten all of those guys in their primes.
And Pac didn't even want it with Joan Guzman in 07-08 at 135 lbs.
I'd favor them, but it would a tough fight, and that's real talk.
