    Some might argue his wins over Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, and Oscar De La Hoya would occupy the top three. Others might argue the second Castillo fight, Hatton, or Marquez belong somewhere in there.

    What do you think?

    This thread is just not fair. And that's coming from a big Corrales fan (RIP).

    1. Corrales (based on how he dismantles a prime, powerful, champion)
    2. Hernandez (First title and won in an impressive fashion)
    3. Castillo II

    Wasn't Corrales nights away from going to prison around the time that fight happened?

    Yeah, I believe he was. I think it was 14 or 24 months right after the fight.

    No offense to the late Corralles, but he was not even that good. He is on the same level as David Diaz at 135

    I wouldn't say David Diaz. I would say he's more on the level of Juan Diaz, not David. No disrespect to Baby Bull either.

    That's a shame since...Pac demolished DLH and Hatton as if they were club fighters and they don't even crack the Top 5 on Pac's resume. It definitely puts things into perspective when it comes to comparative accomplishments.
