would castillo vs gatti be a classic?

[RAESAAD]

i could see this fight being 1 of the greatest fights of all time

Me too 3-5 years ago.

Are you guys joking? This would be an easy win for Castillo even if Castillo fought a prime Gatti. Even the prime Gatti ******. Man this thread is a joke.

100% correct.

"Prime" Gatti was getting abused by 2nd rate guys like Ivan Robinson and Angel Manfedy and having life and death struggles with guys like Wilson Rodriguez and a shot Gabe Ruelas.

Gatti was DESTROYED against Floyd Mayweather while Castillo fought Floyd as well as anyone every has.

Gatti has always been a 2nd rate fighter and thats the truth. He never beat an elite guy and was kept away from all the top guys when he was at 130-135 guys like Gussie Nazrov, Stevie Johnston, Genaro Hernandez and Shane Mosley. His handlers are'nt ******.

When its all said and done Jose Luis Castillo will go down as an all time great for this era.

Two different classes of fighters here plain and simple.

Gatti has been in some of the most exciting & brutal fights you'll ever see.
See-saw battles with Ward, Robinson, Rodriguez, & a past-his best Ruelas.
Now, if he went life & death with those guys.....how could he hope to hang with Castillo, who is far superior to all of them ?

Gatti looked great against Little Joe Hutchinson didnt he?

I give Teddy Reid a better shot at beating Gatti then I do Gatti beating Castillo.

My thought exactly... once again from a fan of Gatti who does not like Castillo- enough said.

[TOPitBull]

I think Gatti could hold up for 7 to 8 plus rounds, and even have a shot at winning, but my money would be on castillo.

[marvdave]

One sided ass whupping.

Castillo easy in this one

[number6]

Ive always enjoyed Gatti's fights but also have thought that he was overrated due to some of the wars he had with guys that were not bad fighters by any means but certainly not world class.
Castillo is world class and would have beat any version of Gatti.imo.

gatti's fight with damgaard might answer some questions i have about gatti, like whether or not hes shot (dont comment, dont answer, its mine to decide).

but right now, gatti/castillo probly would be exciting, but not as exciting as it couldve been if gatti was still a slugger.

[dino]

everybody keeps saying gatti is shot...actually i think he was better then he ever was before mayweather pounded his ass...i know castillo would win..but i think this fight could be fun whiel it lasted
