Comments Thread For: Jose Luis Castillo: Canelo Can Defeat Mayweather

[Mr. Philadel]

The man who many believe did enough to defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on April 20, 2002 - Mexico's Jose Luis Castillo - believes WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) can do enough to unseat the pound-for-pound king on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It won't be easy and Castillo says the 22-year-old champion will have to use the right tactics.

"I did everything humanly possible to win that day, and I think I won the fight," Castillo said. "I demonstrated, I believe, that Mayweather was not invincible, but he is a great fighter. He is very complete, good stamina, fast. I think he should be in the top five in the world in boxing history." [Click Here To Read More]

dudes crack me up sometimes!!!...Floyd is not the same fighter he was 11 yrs ago...why would dudes even consider the first Castillo fight as a blueprint?!?....Floyd has evolved since then.....dudes need to learn how to seperate the NOW from THEN

Canelo isn't Castillo and the fight in September isn't going to look anything like that.

Canelo isn't going to pressure the way Castillo and Hatton did, honestly I think he would gas out by round 6 if he tried to do that.

He would gas out within the first 2-3 rounds if he tried that. And that's just based on the fact that with Trout, he wasn't putting his foot on the gas like that and got tired midway. So no way he's lasting to round 6 by applying lots of pressure and chasing Floyd.

reading comprehension fail
he said that the first six rounds were easy to score, he didnt say that he scored all six for mayweather

Show me where is says easy to score....it clearly states that those were easy rounds, and knowing him, I know he wasent talking about Castillo.

Here is what he said and I quote " I've watched it several times and I continue to score it for Floyd, the 1st 6 rounds were relatively easy"

I higlighted the area so you know what am talking about. reading comprehension much!!!!!

They do the same thing every fight. It's always Castillo and/or apply lots of pressure. As if he's unaware of these popular answers.

The first Castillo fight was close and an injured, Mayweather got the nod. The 2nd fight was a clear win for Mayweather.

Im glad u said it. I thought i was going to have to log in and say it! Its funny how a guy can win the 1st 5 rds with torn rotator cuff and he making excuses
..lol Thumb warriors are funny

false

floyds camp wanted him to test the waters at 135 before he fought castillo, but floyd wanted to jump right into the fire ... but youre right, he was so scared to fight castillo that he gave him an immediate rematch after their close first fight



torn rotator cuff, he had surgery after the fight

http://********/1ov6xoYMfbI?t=45s

after the first round he mentions to his father that his shoulder his hurting him. he reiterated that at mulitple points during the fight they are constantly massaging his left arm in between rounds ... but you would know that if you saw the fight



see this ...



looks like "noob logic"



i always liked paul williams, but he won his first title a few months after floyd fought oscar ... was floyd supposed to fight paul williams over a mega fight with ricky hatton? ... then after floyds fight with hatton, williams lost to carlos quintanna and then floyd "retired" ... but im supposed to believe that floyd was so scared of a guy that just lost to quintana that he retired to avoid him? yea, okay

Puhhhhh!!!!
I wanna know who thinks castillo did enough!!!!!!!!

[Queen_Leia]

I 100% disagree about Floyd Vs Paul. Floyd would have stood no chance against Paul Williams, not 1 top WW wanted any part of P Will..rather it was Mosley, Oscar, Pacquiao, nor Floyd.

If Quintana can beat Williams, then Floyd can beat him....This is the Quintana that has been stopped by Thurman and Berto.

Castillo was able to close the distance by using head movement /slipping punches on the way in then throwing combos to the head/body or simply jab his way in get close throw combos Canelo is going use of the Castillo/DLH gameplan for Mayweather

Lol he will gas out by round 4 then

[MrClutch85]

Lol he will gas out by round 4 then

Canelo needs to fix his stamina issues by September 14 he needs to fight 12 strong rounds to have a chance to beat Mayweather
