Poll: Who's better? Hatton or Castillo?

[WindUpMerchant]

Here's some interesting quotes before the Hatton - Tszyu bout:

Roger Mayweather (former Tszyu opponent, now trainer of prospective Tszyu foe Floyd Mayweather)
"Tszyu is in a different league to Hatton. If Hatton comes to him the fight will end early, but if he sits back it will last a bit longer. Hatton might have strength but he hasn't fought anybody that good. Tszyu has ability and punching power, and he's going to spank him. But it will be a different game when he takes on Floyd, because he'll be fighting a younger version of me."

Prediction: "Tszyu will definitely stop him."

Kerry Kayes (Hatton's nutritionist and weights trainer)

"Ricky has been lifting weights now for two years, and will get in that ring stronger than ever, with more muscle tissue than ever but still comfortably inside the weight. He is eating seven meals a day plus special nutrients, and is in tremendous shape."

Prediction: "My money would be on Ricky."

I remember he started using weights with Kerry after the Stephen Smith debacle and has gradually got slower and slower. It was a huge mistake to start using weights, IMO. When Ricky was asked about weights making him slower, Ricky said "we do so much punching and speedwork that it could never slow me down".
But Ricky, my dudester, it HAS slowed you down! I'm not blind, mate.

At what time in Hatton's career was that clip whereas Hatton did a 1 second triple left hook.

I know I'm gonna be called a racist for criticizing Castillo again, but here goes:

Having a virtually invincible chin and a monster left hook should not make you a great fighter. Castillo's chin has only been cracked by the hardest punching guy from 135 down and one of the top 3 hardest punchers p4p in Corrales. Castillo's style isn't some masterpiece kind of thing. It's his ability to take a punch and deliver punches that wins him fights. He can be outboxed as shown by Mayweather, but you have to be REAL slick to do it. I've seen Hatton outbrawl guys and I've seen him show some actual skill as well. Furthermore, Hatton is VULNERABLE in that he cuts, yet he hasn't shown any fear or backing down yet. This man walked through Tszyu's bombs, and p4p, I think Tszyu was the 2nd hardest puncher in the sport behind Pacquiao up until he basically retired. I think it's a very close race, but Hatton is the better overall fighter. Castillo is just a monster with a granite chin.

DiegoFuego I urge you to see earlier Hatton bouts.

DiegoFuego I have to disagree with your post about Castillo. Very well written but I believe he displayed his technical brilliance against Stevie Johnston.

I saw him fight some bum in 2002 on Showtime, I think same night as Rahman/Holyfield. He looked real good then, but like I said, the guy was a bum.
