      Yeah but regardless of that, this fight would be as good or even better then Castillo vs. Corrales 1.

        Castillo would knock Hatton into the middle of next week. People are using Hatton's win over Tszyu as a measurement for his chin, however Tszyu never landed flush. Hatton's chin is still questionable and with Castillo's power at 140, Hatton's chin probably won't hold up. I see Hatton tasting the canvas several times in this one.

          I agree, but will be exciting to see.

            I say Castillo wins in one of the best fights we could possibly see. i think that it would be an all out assault on one another. but the reason i think that Castillo would win is because he is 140 pound fighter, he was killing himself to get to 135 the last few fights he had too. i just see Castillo being sharper on the inside. he knows how to rough it up all over, he's has tons of experience.
            Hatton is a tough guy and he could beat Castillo but it's a tougher fight for him. he really couldn't allow too many mistakes, lunging in and stuff would get him in a bit of trouble with Castillo.
            the fight would basically be about who could dirty it up in there the most. both of those guys know how to fight dirty, Castillo to me seems more burly of the two.
            i wanna see it though, it's on my wish list......
            but i would take Castillo slightly over Hatton....

              Why is Hatton's chin questionable? He's been knocked down what? once his entire career, and that was a flash knockdown.

              Hatton would win this for two reasons, he's faster, and he has better footwork. They're probably about even in terms of strength, and I'll give Hatton the benefit of the doubt on the chin (because we don't know, and it's ****** to speculate). So, basically this comes down to speed, and footwork. Hatton is better in both cases. The one problem he might have is cutting, though. He hasn't been cut in a while, but he still cuts pretty easy.

                    Foot work and hand speed? Foot work wouldnt even matter cause it would be an inside fight, Handspeed? man Corrales has better handspeed then Hatton and Castillo dealed with it just fine. Castillo would hurt Hatton with all the uppcuts Castillo would land on him, and lets not even start with who has the better left hooks. But lets all just pray for this fight to happen.
