Thread: J.L Castillo-'02 v Pacquiao-'08 @ 135lbs

SORRY GUYS!!!

Can't fathom out who a decisive outcome for this fight. I'm thinking there are some similarities to the Cotto match-up although I actually reckon Castillo is quite a bit sturdier as a lightweight than Cotto is as a Welterweight. Plus Castillo is maybe that bit more Rugged and in your face.

Although having said that, having looked at this clip:

It's easy to see where Pacquiao would give him hell, especially with the added power he posses (IMO).

I guess the reason why i'm going here is becuase i'm now in Mayweather-vs-Pacquiao mode so im gonna be looking at Mayweather's and Pacquiao' past performances and putting each man in the other man's boots.

I think it's fair to say that Castillo gave Mayweather a rough 12 rounds, the first time around.

Pac loses this one too, much like all "IF" scenarios!

castillo would beat pacquiao and probably by KO. at that weight, castillo was an animal who gave mayweather all he could handle twice.

I do think this one would be a thriller. But I just see Pac being a bit better that JLC. Even though that JLC was vicious and the undisputed lightweight champ. I see something like 7-5 Pac. A tit for tat battle just because JLC will stand there and trade and that is Pac's domain.
