Corrales and Castillo fought the greatest championship fight I've ever witnessed live and I have been watching and following boxing since the late 80's as a child.
Corrales is a two weight titlist(Ibf and wbo @ 130 and WBC/RING/ lineal lightweight championship
Wins over former champions/titlists Castillo, Casamayor, Robert Garcia, Derrick Gainer, Acelino Freitas, Gary St.Clair
Castillo is a 2x WBC lightweight titleholder and was the lineal lightweight champion as well
Best wins over former champions/titlists Corrales, Stevie Johnston, Jorge Paez, Cesar Bazan, Casamayor, Julio Diaz
Both were the cream of the crop not named Floyd Mayweather @ 130-135 and they cleaned out the divisions between them.
I think they are more deserving than guys like Arturo Gatti, Barry Mcguigan, Pipino Cuevas, and Mancini because they were exciting and also had world class skills and were at one time or another the best or one of the best at their weights in their era.
