And gave Mayweather his first loss

Man lost both fights. 1st one was close but the 2nd was humiliation

@@donaldgreen9374 Still Castillo edge Mayweather first time and beat him

@@donaldgreen9374 Castillo won the first

carlito boxing that's the heart of a true champion a real Mexican champion, it's not their style to disappoint the crowds, just not in their Gene's.

Yo soy mexicano y admiro a Castillo pero creo que en esta ocasión ganó el cubano por un mínimo. Saludos a los hermanos cubanos.

@@tlatoanichimalhuacano7533 yo creo que te enamoraste del cubanito wey! 😊 😁😨

Actually he did beat mayrunner

^ he did not beat Floyd u bum and got schooled in the rematch.

red88alert A great fighter and some can argue he beat Floyd...it is debatable...I personally don't think so but he got a close as anyone ever did which is credit to his greatness.

WattUNeed yea he would be knocking out these lightweights we have now. ab vs Castillo at 135 would be brutal lmao even Terrance Crawford. I'm surprised people don't mention him as being one of the best punchers floyds fought, the guy had 40 kos out of 44 fights and was very hard to outbox.

Kenny Porter Yes I said he had better competition than Duran when Duran was a lightweight but folks do not realize this and people started saying sacrilege but I can breakdown what I say....check this out: Notable names Castillo fought on becoming world champion: Stevie Johnson (upset of the year and a rematch to a draw), Caeser Bazan (former world champion who beat Stevie Johnson), Floyd Mayweather Jr twice (giving him a close first fight), Juan Lazcano (who beat Stevie Johnson, John John Molina, Jesse James Leija), Joel Casamayor, Julio Diaz (the IBF champion) and the epic showdowns twice with Diego Corrales (The WBO Lightweight champion) Duran fought: Ken Buchanan (WBA world champion), Estaban De Jesus (his great nemasis), Hector thompson (Common wealth champion), Guts Ishimastu (who would go on to be WBC World champion and beat Buchanan but lose to Estaban De Jesus), Ray Lampkin (NAABF Lightweight champion won form a journeyman Nick Alfaro. Also he lost to Estaban De Jesus twice before fighting Duran), Leoncio Ortiz (ok southpaw fighter), Lou Bizzaro (an undefeated italian born american boxer who had feasted mostly on journeymen and debutants but had decent boxing skills), Vilomar Fernando (who beat Lampkin but was outboxed by Viruet), Edwin Viruet. Aside from Estaban De Jesus none of them compare to the quality of opposition or even have the KO ratios or wins over the quality of opposition as Castillo's opponents not to mention the bum of the month club that Duran would fight in between those fights even getting highly regular inexperienced fighters as mandatory challengers....you may think this as a joke but he had a dude with 5-5 fight him for the title....you know what I mean. You sometimes sit back and wonder if it was how dominant he was and the KO's he got or just good matchmaking to make him look like a monster as they do GGG today. What do you think?

Jjjj invidioso

Así es hermano chihuahuense,la sangre de guerrero Yaqui es muy fuerte como se puede notar en la fisonomia de el Siri,castillo,j.cesar Chávez aunque el wey ese solo xk lo porrocinaba la mafia de Culiacán se pronunciaba de allá,pero si han salido buenos gallos que nos han dado a todo México muchos campeonatos y peleas emocionantes mostrándonos un estilo peleando hasta el final!saludos desde sonora Hasta la hermosa sierra de Chihuahua hermano!viva Chihuahua!

I thought it was a pretty clear win for Castillo tbh.

Starting at round 10

Stick and move

Daniel Vazquez well close enough isn’t always enough. Being up on pointing & working the ring with foot work is good & all. But if that champ eventually starts locking in & trapping the challenger & breaking him down to the point that the challenger isn’t able to move like he was earlier in the fight I feel he’ll lose. Especially if the champ is hurting him. It’s weird because what’s that challenger going to do if he wins? How’s he going to defend that belt? Is he just going to punch & move & punch & move. Or will he punch & move & stand & fight when he has to. I like brawls, Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo is 1 of my all time favorite fights to watch.

I'm cuban and I agree with you. Joel fought well first seven rounds. Last five was hard to watch. Castillo punished him in the 12 . Castillo won the fight. Casamayor showed he had a decent chin.

Asi son los nuebos peleadores cubanos puro correr C an puesto algun fanatico a contar desde k comiensa una pelea D Maytwader cuantos clinches ay en cada Pelea y puro correr

Esa pelea no la ganó José Luis Castillo

Juan te entiendo la invidiosos como tú siempre q no pueden haser algo lo critican jjj

Y eso que no le gustaba el boxeo

Nevals Civonaja what fight did yuo wach casamayor hold up the hall fight

Maybe not here but he fought for real against Corrales and Katsidis and Freitas.

Boz Ajanovic Mayweather never engaged? You must have just started watching boxing. Mayweather was the boogy man in lower divisions and he was the one being ducked. When his hands failed him he HAD to become a different fighter. Therefore mastered his craft. I can tell you hate him because you mentioned him and this post has nothing to do with him. 50-0 retired and you still mad

@@dannythompson8781 Mayweather beat bums and old ppl ,he engaged? Against Delahoya did he engaged lmao he engaged Against bums and olddddddddd tired wartorn fighters

@@dantedlane2 You damn right he engaged. What fight did you watch and how in the hell did he win all of his fights if he didn't hit back. He broke records of accuracy in his fights. Just because he never let nobody use their strengths against him is not a bad thing. Hell it's brilliant. That's why Pac was getting knocked out and has all those losses. Didn't we all think he was dead against Marquez? Lol Pac was the one fighting has beens and taxi drivers. This dude got beat by Jeff Horn, who he cherry picked to run from Crawford. Oh and he also fought Rios, Algeri, Jessie Vargas when they had better fighters he could of fought. Didn't he fight a bum ass Margarito after he wasnt shit without the wraps. And every other welterweight he ONLY fought them after Mayweather beat them so he could learn how to beat them. Oh and also May weather is almost 4 years older too.

Fuertes pero de olor

Otro igual de fuerte y de sonora tambien jose luis surdo ramires

Hagler was a 'boxer', too. Greatest jab all time

Can’t put kell brook in the same sentence as Joel

Nunca

Floyd would have made him look silly.

Mayweather actually called out the winner of Casamayor vs Freitas but Freitas refused to fight Mayweather. Mayweather, unknown to many, is the most ducked fighter of the late 90's and early 2000's.

@@raygan1221 Exactly. Before Floyd fought Castillo he wanted to fight the winner of Casamyor and Frietas. Frietas won but declined the fight because he signed an extension with Showtime. So Floyd moved up and took on the best lightweight in his first fight in the division.

You' re right...

Chavez es Yaqui.....nada que ver con Sinaloa.

La.derrota siempre tiene pero. Mira y si no el otro uuuuu. No jodas.

Corrales was not Mexican, that's #1. Number two, Casamayor got robbed vs Castillo. And number 3, by the time he fought Marquez he was past it. A few months before fighting Marquez he got thrown through the ropes by KATSIDIS. It was a surprise he was even able to put a good fight vs Marquez.

Hiccup Toothless Corrales' mother was Mexican. That's good enough for me. Secondly, Casamayor was never "robbed," a word that gets thrown around far too much. Close fight and Castillo got the nod. I gave Joel his props. Stop being such a whiner.

Kedbuka He was robbed vs Castillo and robbed in the second fight vs Corrales. Mexicans fighters are known for robbing other boxers because the promoters want that Mexican fans money.

Kedbuka As a Cuban American, I wish one day our boxing could get the respect it deserves. Look at Rigondeaux, one of the p4p best, and he can't get a fight because he defeated Nonito too easily and Arum didn't like it. Casamayor faced the same kind of bullshit. The system is always stacked in favor of Mexicans and the more marketable fighters. That's why it has been a pleasure to watch Mayweather rub it in everyone's faces for years, cherry picker or not.

Hiccup Toothless Rigondeaux was recently put on his ass twice by a no-name, but maybe that'll help him get some better match-ups. He's a fine fighter though, I agree with you. Cubans get lots of respect in the boxing world. The country has produced many, many fine fighters and all knowledgeable fans know it. However, stop whining about the system being "stacked in favor of Mexicans." That's pretty lame.

Es verdad

You dont like defense

Aparte de la de Mayweather, que otras peleas le robaron?

Al igual q los tuyos jjj siempre le damos por culo ha los tuyos

Gitfiddle 7766 I know this Cuban came to hug and be all up on Castillo, not a fan of a fighter that's scared to punch an to get hit at the same time.

Y el tuyo q está en un bar jjj

Que marrullero ese casamayor son una verguenza

Para empezar Duran no habla asi... Su papa era Mexicano de Arizona, US y su Mama de Panama ( Colombia)... nada que ver con ese acento cubano... ponte a leer antes de opinar paisita.

Castillo perdio. El mundo lo sabe

@@maikeldiaz9199 Castillo gano, el universo lo sabe.

Los sonorenses son más bravos y menos bocones que los de Sinaloa 😂😂

si le robaron la consciencia Juan Manuel Márquez lo durmió.

Casa mayor no sirve lo que pasa es que castillo ya no era como antes y estaba muy lento

+Jeffrey Haefner Yes. Castillo, Corrales, Mayweather, Casaayor, then lately Marquez right? Also later, Baby bull diaz? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Right

Frietas schooled him.. took it to him in the first half, then changed the rythym on Casamayor in the 2nd half, outboxing him. Cubans are great boxers, problem is that they become predictable in their intentions/ or next move. When they're faced against someone with high IQ & is relentless, by the 5th round it becomes appearant that their opponent has adapted to their rythym & can start landing cleaner much more effective shots.
