I personally think castillo is in a really bad position.......he is getting old and by dominating the 140
if he beats hatton does that prove much? i personally think 147 will be a bit to much for him! if only he could make the weight for lightweight wud be so much easier
it would mean that castillo is the best jr. welterweight on the planet.
he makes a few defences at 140, then he sets up a mega fight at 147 after a solid year of being the linear junior welterweight champion.
more money
more glory
seems like a good decision to me ;)
but thats IF he beats hatton, or even harris for that matter :P
140 aint nothing its a shit devision now! usta be good but it wont take a big man to dominate it! hatton shouldnt go down to 140 and i really cant see castillo dominating 147.if he had one mega fight i really could see him getting beaten.

Frozen,I do not see JLC koing Hatton,I just don't see it.How?
im going by how jlc looked in the castillo/corrales 2 fight, and how hatton looked against collazo (even though it was at 147, hatton looked pretty bad skillwise.........let alone physically)
this is a very bad matchup for hatton, stylistically, and jlc is a bad man.
rickys a good guy and a great fighter, but this is one fight that i feel is going to make him look pretty bad :-\
hopefully im wrong, though. because a victory over jlc would put hatton into elite status
So you basing your opinion on Castillos 'best' performance which was at a lower weight and on Hattons worst performance of his career which was at a higher weight than he always fights at??
Seems crazy to me to only base it on them fights. Hatton is an animal at 140lb and although he seems to have stopped using his boxing skills since the kostya fight, that dosent mean he doesnt posses them anymore.
If hatton has the full 12 weeks to prepare and goes back to using his skills as well as his marauding style i cant see anybody beating him at 140lb.
