PBF got his ass kicked when he fought Castillo the first time, and was handed a gift-wrapped decision by the judges. So pressure is the way to go if you want to beat him. He can't work all his dodgy footwork if you're up in his face.

Hatton's style is similar to Castillo's except he lacks the boxing skills of Castillo. But he's certainly got the pressure thing down.

It will be an interesting fight. I'd like to see PBF get his ass kicked just so he'd shut up for a little while. Roy Jones Jr. had that problem, too; self-worship. But then, once he got knocked the fuck out, he shut up really quick. You hardly hear a peep from him nowadays.

PBF is a great fighter in his prime, but he has not fought too many great fighters in their prime. Same story as Roy Jones, Jr. again.

Hopefully Hatton can at least put him to the test. Like Castillo did that first time.

Sidenote: Naseem Hamed? Great boxer? You've got to be kidding. First real fight he was in (vs. Barerra) he got beat up and then immediately faded away into nothingness.
