Jose Luis Castillo was an elite fighter Arturo Gatti wasn't, at 140 its not a fair match up because it isn't prime for prime. At 135 Jose Luis Castillo would stop Arturo Gatti late on.
exactly but he was saying Gatti/Castillo at 140, and IMO this was the best Gatti was in his entire career since he would box a lot more, prime for prime Castillo would have won no doubt but still wouldn't have been a cake walk, lets not forget that it's the same Gatti who took DLH's shots and although he went down he came back for more and held his own a bit
