He's lost to guys that went on to lose to the big names so he never quite made it. Harris beat him and then got knocked out by Witter . Castillo also beat Lazcano and went on to get knocked out by Hatton.

Its not a good fight IMO but Im still gonna buy it cuz im a sucker for these things. Big crowd good atmos but the action wont be great . Laz will put up resistance for a few rounds then predictably crumble. The only drama I envision is if Rickys gets cut . Otherwise a straight forward fight which sets up the formailty of a Malignaggi fight later in the year .

I understand the Witter argument but i don't understand the Castillo argument. Lazcano lost to Castillo at Lightweight when Castillo was in his prime at his prime weight. That was 3 years before Castillo fought Hatton, where he obviously wasn't comfortable at the weight and looked like a shot fighter in his previous fight to the Hatton one.

Well I suppose you have to rate Castillo in the first place which I dont . His best win was when he cheated vs Chico ( a guy who had already knocked him out ) apart from that what has he ever done? I think Casa owned him . Floyd beat him twice. Hatton stopped him . Ngoudo or whatever his name was nearly beat him . So basically I think Castillos over rated yet he beat Lazcano . In my book that tells me this is a easy fight for Ricky . He may make it hard but he should be fighting better than this if he wants to make any waves.

Im solely going on 4-5 youtube clips of juan.

Wily opponent that doesnt do anything spectacular hence shouldnt cause ricky much concern. Does like the occasional stand and trade and that in itself could be his downfall if he trys to go toe to toe with hatton.

Awkward style should get him through the first half of the fight but after that id be very surprised if he went more than 9 and extremely surprised if he lasts the distance.

Hatton TKO - A hard fought scrappy contest that eventually gets stopped around round 8!!

I don't think this will last more than 7-8 rounds, Hatton to win via KO, but i wish that Hatton gets Knocked the fuck out something silly like he did against Mayweather.
