    Not great in my eyes but definitely very good.

    That's nice, but I mean Canasota.

    Pretty good. Not great.

    Had he got the nod against Mayweather and then punctuated this by beating Corrales, in 2005, there might be a case to talk in terms of greatness. But, even then, Castillo always seemed to get run close against his better level of opponents and often did not impress.
