    yes. Why don't you knowledgeable cats on teh forum explain to me what was wrong with Castillo that night. Perhaps there's something that I missed and I'll be better off with the information that y'all can now provide to me.

    By the way..who did YOU pick to win that fight, Double?

    Gee, I don't know....

    • he'd been KO'd by Corrales then came in overweight to KO Corrales.
    • Came in overweight and looked like shit against Reyes
    • came in overweight and had the rubbermatch with Corrales cancelled.
    • Was in debt and fought for free the night he fought Hatton
    • Struggled to make weigt (140) when that night
    • His brother died a month or so before the Hatton fight
    All of these factors and don't forget...Corrales-Castillo III was called off because Castillo couldn't get below 139 1/2 two years prior and killed himself to do so...he managed to drain himself for the Hatton fight over a year later and was a dead man walking. That was obvious.

    I'm not a Hatton fan but everyone knew the situation. It's sad you're nuthugging Mayweather by way of Hatton.

    I'm actually not nuthugging anyone. Just asking the question.

    My post answers your question.

    Plus...I'd forgotten...He looked like shit against Ngoudjo in the fight before the Hatton fight. I think Hatton fought Urango that night...HBO did a doubleheader.

    So yes...the Castillo Hatton fought wasn't the same Floyd fought. Wasn't the same guy Corrales fought.

    How did Castillo's brother die? Was it the one who was also a fighter? Or a different brother?

    Floyd doesnt want the fight period. To turn that kinda money down means he is afraid. Iam tickled to death he keeps turning away..........personallly I think he'd toy with Manny.

    Good thing you personally think that, Explosivo. Because it's obvious Floyd doesn't.:laughing:

    fuck a boycott. I do get sick of all the bullshit games from both camps. But if the fight is made you can believe I will order it.
