I wouldn't call anyone who laces up the gloves and goes out there and puts it on the line a coward. Do you think he faught Tszyu like a coward?
How long is he going to live of the Tszyu win? He gave his word to Collazo for a rematch and than ran away. He's now given his word to Castillo that he would fight him next. Now it looks like he's punking out. How you going to defend that?
He never said he'd rematch Collazo, and he didn't know the IBF would strip him if he didn't defend against N'dou/Rabah, he still plans to fight Castillo but I'm still sickened with his decision.
Ricky Hatton in his post fight interview after Collazo "I'll fight absolutely anybody and that includes a rematch with Luis."

After the Urango fight: "As expected, Bob Arum and his fighter Jose Luis Castillo were on hand to announce with Hatton's promoter Dennis Hobson that an agreement had been reached for the two fighters to face each other some time in June at the Thomas and Mack Center here in Las Vegas. "

Ricky's statement: "it will be an honor to share the ring with a fighter like Castillo who has been in so many great fights." He added " this ain't going to be a tickling contest…and if you want to watch a chess match tune in to the Floyd May weather - De La Hoya fight. But if you want to watch two blokes knock the shit out of each other watch me and Castillo."
