By no means am I taking away from Montiel, it WAS a good victory.
But can you justify it being compared to Hopkins Tarver or Calzaghe Lacy?
I agree Mick, Retrospect is a great crutch to a critic, but the thing is I like Montiel!!!

Re: Displeasure at Fernando Montiel.
Either way Castillo was rated #1 by Ring mag going into the fight! When you beat one of the the top guys in the division so dominantly its difficult not to give appreciation.
Like others have said; it was thought of as a top match-up going in. I for one was picking Castillo to use better skills to win a UD.
Fact is no one has owned Castillo like that & IMO there were no signs it would be so one sided.

Re: Displeasure at Fernando Montiel.
Well, I deserve to be smacked. I Picked Castillo To win over 12 just as Galaxy.I was convinced that If Montiel sold out the defense and went all out for the KO,Catillio would manuever and box him....I was as wrong as a guy can be. After that first knockdown the fight was as good as over.
Montiel as of late is not the same Montiel of old that looked uninspired Vs. Gonzalez and at other times hot and cold. He deserves buu-koo respect for a very descisive Victory and doing what you are supposed to do to a Very good fighter who may or may not be what he once was,
In any case...pre or post fight...Hindsight Is 20/20
