Hatton-Castillo

[Left2body]

Well I wonder does anyone disagree that Castillo has a better defense? I'm not commenting on who will win between Castillo vs Hatton or PBF vs Hatton, what I'm saying is that I dont think Hatton offers much more than Castillo did versus PBF. The only thing different that Hatton brings to the fight versus PBF is his power and strength which is more than Castillo had due to the fight being at 147 and not at 135 (which is more of a natural weight for PBF).

I'm not saying Hatton isn't strong talented and all the rest I really think he is all that. However I think Castillo is all that as well.

I think my real point is that I believe the constant recuring statement of Castillo gave PBF problems and Hatton is better than Castillo so Hatton by deduction will demolish PBF. is not a valid argument for pro Hatton fans.

Many here know that I am 2x more excited about the prospect of Castillo-Hatton-Cotto-Margarito all fighting each other than I am of PBF fighting them, because I think styles make fights and those would be super exciting action filled fights.

I would take Castillo over Hatton if they ever fought at 140. Castillo has more experience against quality opposition. He's also able to adapt to whatever style of fight is thrown at him. If he fights a quick, slick boxer he can still work his way inside to get some shots in as evidenced in his first fight with Mayweather. He uses lots of head movement in order to make his way inside and land puches witout getting hit when fighting a guy like that, great stuff.
If he fights a guy that likes to brawl and **** inside it's right up his alley, he relishes fights like that.
He also fights with a ring generalship rarely seen. The guy can do a little of everything. He operates inside with style and class.
I would give the slight edge to Castillo, but this would be a great action fight and it would be close if it went the distance.

close good fight

hatton is bigger, faster, younger

castillo is the better inside fighter has a great chin and we have seen him with good ****ers, good brawlers and good boxers

this would be a great great fight at 140, at 147 I would take hatton because of his physical advantages.

I'm not sure who I would pick at 140lbs but at 147lbs I would definitely take Hatton. I wonder how Hatton will fight at 147lbs. I think he will keep his speed and gain some power at 147lbs. I also think his stamina will be better at 147lbs which is kinda scary because he already has an incredible engine.

I think Cotto at 147lbs would also benefit in power and energy level but I also think that Cotto will gain some speed and throw more combos(like earlier in his career) at 147lbs.

I'll go with the better and more experienced fighter: Jose Luis Castillo. Hatton MIGHT be bigger but that alone isnt going to help him take on one of the sports toughest offensive technicians.

Hatton is basically just a class above in the talent department...

Get the *** out of here...You crazy?

Hatton has faster hand speed and better stamina. based on what? Watch hatton's fights, he comes out round 12 the same as he came out in round one. He's a stamina freak. Also, hwe carries more power because he's bigger.In terms of infighting, his technique is probably on-par with Castillo, if not better. This is based on Video evidence. If you watch the two fight, they actually have different styles. Hatton moves his head a lot more and creates angles. Castillo picks his shots a lot more, even when on the inside. He crowds less, is less relentless.

Hatton is also a much more versatile fighter, he can fight in more than one way. Obviously, he's not gonna try and box mayweather, but it's possible that he could box Castillo to a comfortable UD. Castillo can't fight on the outside. I think Hatton would KO Castillo in 9.

Aaaaahahahahaha as if all ur previous comments werent enough, then u say this. Hatton outbox Castillo? even Mayweather had a hard time outboxing Castillo, Casamayor also a great boxer was relegated to smother castillo to avoid his shots at a distance. Corrales has received the worst end of the exchanges at a distance, the same goes for Julio Diaz, Juan Lazcano, all who at one point or another tried putting distance on Castillo, they all failed.

Hatton's resume on the other hand has nothing on the above names, thats just the truth.

yea,hattons quality of opponents before tszyu isnt up to par with castillo.and with all the help he got from ref parris in the tszyu win i still have to see him fight stateside before i'm sold on him.at 140 the stronger castillo with a 4"reach advantage will give hatton a dose of his own medicine. stateside. it would be a slugfest. you watch, after hatton wins in may he may make a castillo fight.in england.

The more I think about it the more excited I get imagining a possible fight between Hatton and Castillo. Really thinking about it, I'm not sure if Hatton has a big power advantage over Castillo. Hattons beard has never been tested as much as Castillo's chin has either. I'm sure Castillo can take a lot of punishment and keep going but Hatton has yet to show that he can do the same (Tzu fight he never got hit by a real good punch).

Any fights that have Cotto, Hatton or Castillo fighting each other would be great.
