Saying that,IF he fights Castillo in March,that would be a big boost. He needs more fights like that but at 140,who else is there?

Big fights are at 147,so he'll be in a dilemma and I think his team sucks big time,why put him in with a stylistic nightmare for your first big fight Stateside?!?! How dumb is that and why not try to get Cotto or Floyd for DEc/Nov when they were free? He can't keep saying he is not ready as time is running out. This is just my opinion.

A fight with Witter would be a backwards step for Stateside appeal I think.
I think you are being a bit harsh on Hattons team. Nobody expected Collazo to be any good. Before the fight we all thought it was going to be another Maussa.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
