    I love the way Castillo has, in hindsight, turned into some sort of monster in order to make Floyd's wins over him look better than they really are.

    C'mon man you know thats ridiculous, Gatti made Ivan Robinson look like Sugar ray Leonard twice and made Micky Ward and look like a world class fighter,if anything its the either way around unless you were a complete scrub or a shot to pieces fighter it was almost impossible to look bad against Arturo.

    Castillo beat the 3 best lightweights of his era not named Floyd. He was the best lightweight of his era in terms of talent not including Floyd and Mosley. He was an A level fighter at 135.

    well you can predict that a fight will be an SD if you expect many close rounds that could go either way. But you can't after a fight say you scored it an SD

    He was the best in what was a poor division, but in all honesty whilst he was a very good fighter he was not elite in my opinion. I don't really see any argument for him being a genuine elite fighter.

    Dont divert you ****ing ***. Tell me how olympic boxing has **** all to do with professional boxing. Tell me how beating Oscar in your 5th weight class coming off a KO over Mayorga is B-. Tell me how a dope who didnt know that Mayorga fought Spinks for the lineal title no less :rofl can make any analysis of Floyds 130lb career.

    You dont have a ****ing clue who Genaro Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Angel Manfredy, Famoso ect were as fighters. Dont act like you do.

    You're a ****ing ******.

    Castillo lost to corrales, then couldn't make weight in the rematch and knocked out a drained corrales.

    He had a draw and a majority decision against stevie johnston.

    The first fight was basically castillo selling his title to floyd, and it ended up going from sale to robbery.
