He wasn't in his prime but since Hatton did what no one else did and laid out Castillo, all of a sudden he's an old man. Whether Ricky could have done what he did to Castillo 3-5 years ago, who knows Is all I know is he did what he was supposed to do and did it convincingly. My take is that alot of people thought Hatton would win in a decision at best; then they could make fun of him and say it took him all night to beat up an old man, hahaha. Most friends of mine and alot on the boards said Castillo was going to "expose that bum" and k.o. Hatton, which obviously didn't happen either, so the only thing left to say is Castillo was a geriatric waiting to get put in the retirement home. I'll tell you who was shot, and that was Gatti when Floyd fought him, and no one says anything about that. Of course, Gatti would have gotten holes blown through him no matter when he fought Floyd, so maybe it doesn't matter. I bet Rick trained his ass off for Castillo and really think he was as surprised as everyone else he floored Castillo. Funny how after so many fights, all of a sudden Castillo is washed up when Ricky k.o.'s him. He could have had 80 fights and been a warrior, but if Ricky floored him in fight 81, well, Castillo must be a geezer, right
