Why was it more impressive? Castillo was a good win but to give Witter his due Witter and Corley were both former champs at 140. Far as I know Castillo was one at lightweight and had blown a third fight with corrales because of his weight issues i saw him on FNF he didnt look like he was that good anymore. Corley on the other hand looks like he has a lot left. Was there anyone that didn't think Hatton was gonna beat Castillo?
Corley went on to lose....and lose and lose some more....much more (6 out of his lastconvincingly than he did to Witter.
The betting on Castillo was 50-50ish.
Opinion on here seemed to be 65-35ish Hatton. Castillo was ranked top ten p4p when the fight was made.

Win fights. How does anyone "deserve" their ranking?
Bradley is ranked because of his win against Witter. If Witter is so pathetically unworthy why did Bradley get credit for the win?
What did Malignaggi do to deserve his ranking? His best win was/is against N'dou. Witter already beat him.
Maussa? He beat that "shit" fighter Vivian Harris? That don't count, right? Witter sparked Harris.
Urango? His best win was over Rabah. Rabah got stopped by N'Dou. The same N'dou Witter already beat.
Lazcano? He LOST to that "shit" fighter Vivian Harris. The one Witter knocked out.
Instead of keep saying Witter is shit. Can you show me why any of the fighters you've listed DESERVE to be rated above him?
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
Seriously fella whats your problem with Witter?? I think hes a cunt personally but he has a decent record and has some good wins, he has a better resume than Mallinaggi for one he was British Commenwealth and European Champ has a win over the current WBA World Champion and has been a top ten 140 fighter with the ring for the best part of six/seven years, Hatton would beat him but the fight should have been made.
When Hatton was fighting the likes of Olivera,Stewart,Vliches,Pederson etc etc all basically shit or past it, Witter should of fought Hatton between 2000-2005.
i'm not even a Hatton fan but to say he ran scared from Witter of all people is completely ridiculous, honestly Witter IMO is very overrated, and if at top 10 the highest position he should get is just that, 10
IMO my top 10 for 140 is
1.Ricky Hatton
2.Timothy Bradley
3.Kendall Holt
4.Ricardo Torres
5.Andriy Kotelnik
6.Paulie Malignaggi
7.Juan Urango
8.Victor Ortiz
9.Randall Bailey
10.Junior Witter
Manny Pacquiao nor Nate Campbell should be ranked seeing how neither has even fought at 140, and how the Ring has Manny Ranked #5 at welterweight just blows my miind, that's utter bullshit
with all due respect, maybe to you Brits winning the British Commenwealth and European Championship might mean something but those are just regional titles, same thing as winning the NABF or NABO title to me honestly and that doesn't really mean much,
