    PBF for talent; JMM for achievement (if we're talking purley lightweight). I voted for PBF though.

    Well Castillo had some real good wins over almost all the top fighters at that weight in that time:

    Fought Steve johnson 2x real good fighter

    Fought Mayweather 2x and a lot people belive Castillo should have won their first fight.

    Juan Lazcano, was a real good fight but Lazcano took the wrost beating(in a ''war'') that night... and to be honest i thought Juan seens that fight he was never the same very good fighter he once was.

    Julio Diaz very good fighter also at ''that time''

    Also fought Casa another real good fighter at this weight.

    Not to mention the ''wars'' (and one of the greast fights in Boxing history) with Chico that ''WAR'' would never be forgotten by ''Boxing fans'':deal

    Castillo for me has the best resume. Mayweayther is the best fighter but JLC wins out for longevity.

    Castillo.

    I wish Floyd had really campaigned at 135. Imagine him defending against near prime versions of Casa and JMM, fighting Nate, matching styles with Guzman, maybe even rematching Corrales... those would have been tremendous fights.
