Depends on how he beats him. I think Hatton has as much of a chance at beating Castillo as he does at winning a beauty contest. Can't see it happening. If Hatton beat Castillo in convincing fashion without all of the holding and illegal crap, I would definitely give him his props.
Boxing ain't a beauty contest mate...

Anyway if he uses illegal 'crap' people should blame the referee for letting him get away with it. I remember people saying "He wont be able to do that S*** if he comes to the states" after the Tszyu fight.
Yeah, I hear you, Kel. Just making a stupid joke, mate. I've only seen the Collazo fight over here in the States and I really wasn't impressed with his performance. From the majority of the people that I've heard from, it sounded like he dominated Urango.
Tszyu was one of my favorite fighters at the time and I really thought that was a B.S. fight. But lets not get started on that one. It's in the past now. If he could dominate Castillo, I would really have to re-evaluate my opinion on him.
Strangely, I was a big Hatton fan early on. I loved his work-rate and body attack and really thought he was quite good. I thought the Magee fight was hilarious. He just had the guy in the corner all night and busted up his body.
Do you think he could dominate Castillo like he did Kostya? I think Ricky will be as fired up for the fight as he was the KT fight, I also think Castillo shines in the big fights and because Castillo hardly ever takes a step back I think this will be one hell of a fight.
It's difficult to say. Castillo is very well-rounded and has a ton of ring grit. That being said, Hatton has to be mindful of Castillo's power. The guy packs a helluva punch. I think if he makes it an inside fight and keeps his arms up he has a fighting chance. He's older and allot more experienced now. If he could actually beat Castillo, it would be a very significant milestone for him.
