That was real quick off the top of my head. I could come up with several more no problem if I really thought about it. He's not even Top 20 or 25 of this generation.
I don't feel that Castillo is in the top of the class for all lightweights in history. To even think he is anywhere near Whitaker or Chavez is sort of ridiculous. I understand how people love his fight with Corrales and it was one of the top fights ever, but that does not rate him a top lightweight ever. I would not put him in a top 30 to be honest.. There are some really deserving guys who should be there.
