    Basically this. Yes he had a good run, but longevity is not on his side. In fact, Mosley might have had a better run at 135 IMO.

    usually a guy gets the credit he deserves. Castillo was not a great fighter. I doubt he will go in the Hall of Fame.
    Nothing really to show he was a great fighter or Hall of Fame.

    The Castillo that fought Mayweather would beat both Pac and Marquez at 135.

    Not at lightweight P.

    Yes but not 135. He got kod early in his career too and beat by quality fighters, but its in the middle of his career when he hit his stride. In his lightweight days he was close to unbeatable in his era. He is without a doubt HOF worthy. Would be an insult to Floyd if Castillo wasn't HOF worthy. 2 underrated fights get talked more about the result than fights themselves.
