    Agreed except that Taylor was the better man. I thought Chavez was.

    No.

    Castillo's skill level isn't much higher at all than Corrales's. Corrales was equally good, or close to equally good, on the inside as Castillo.

    Their skill level was very close.

    I would say Hagler was v skillful. Hearns had physical advantages.
