    Castillo didnt really do anything at 130. Maybe Henry Armstrong, Sandy Saddler, Wilfred Gomez should be in the mix. Sanchez may have come into his own at 130 and Pep fought loads of fights around the 130 mark. Laguana also would have been very at home at 130. Also Duran beat Marcel weighing 128 and Canzoneri would have been near his best at this weight

    He won a belt at 130. But He was young & pre-prime. But if he gets enough mentions, he's in.

    Most of castillo's early fights were at 130. & he did Kayo Jorge Paez there. Did Armstrong fight at 130? I know he went from feather. to Light. If enough votes I'll put him in.

    There wasnt a 130 in their day but Armstrong/Pep/Canzoneri have countless fights at pretty much bang on that weight

    Great! Sounds good. They would be more than worthy additions. I'll also scratch Castillo.

    It's tricky. They did fight at the weight or around that weight. Before there was a 130 Lb. Division. Still mulling it over...
