    bump

    i like this topic and there are some interesting posts. In hindsight i should probably have added Hatton's name to the list, even though he wouldn't get many votes.

    Oscar is leading the pack right now with 55 votes to Castillo's 50

    corralles was a beast at 130 and PBF smoked him JLC was by far #1 at 135 and PBF beat him TWICE
    ODLH was #1 at 154 and pbf beat him
    baldo and judah were 1-2 at the time nd he smoked them....hatton was #1 at 140 and he smoked him

    his toughest test was prob JLC then corralles then ODH...noone can beat him anyway...if he fights AM ...margo will look like a fool

    I'd say Corrales in part do to the performace as Chico was a p4p performer but it's really hard to say.

    Actually it was 5 and i still think Castillo was better than him

    anyways saying Corrales fought "absolutely nobody" was a stretch. I mean he did fight Derrick Gainer who is an OK name.

    P4P list man !!! and you also have to look at the competition at the time, and Corrales was 33 and 0 against good fighters at the time, Castillio was also rated. It doesn't matter what order you put them in Floyd level of competition is dame good against some dame good fighters from 130 to 135. No one at 140 wanted to face Floyd except Gatti ..

    Even though Castillo caused some problems for Floyd(mainly low blows, and good defense by Castillo in their first fight), Dlh and Judah presented Floyd with his biggest problems in the ring to me.
