The argument for Castillo, is that he's a smart fighter, he can hypnotize his opponents, and leave them completly confused, because the punches come from nowhere sometimes, but you have to doubt his desire, and will to train with the Corrales fiascos. Eating mexican food and shagging chicitas is not what you should be doing a week before a fight.
If your referring to an article that was posted on here around that weigh in Im fairly certain it was edited by the poster and a joke.. I remember that one and I don't think it was serious... And besides, as if Hatton's keeps himself in top condition when he isn't fighting.. He packs on waaay to much weight imo, it can't be healthy to keep doing and he must lose some speed at the least.. As far as Hatton vs Castillo Id have to give JLC a slight edge.. I think they are fairly similar fighters and both have excellent condition, I don't see Hatton as being quicker and you may also be surprised that he isn't much larger if they do fight. Castillo will have a hell of a time making 140 if he can at all.. In most physical assets they are basically on par imo. Ricky may have a better workrate, Castillo may have a better chin, speed and power are pretty much up in the air, I don't think anyone will pretend to know for a fact that one has an edge here. I just think Castillo is a bit slicker and a bit more skilled, that's all I can say.
