Castillo was the real lightweight champion when Floyd fought him. He showed his skills against Casamayor, Corrales and plenty of others. Margarito, a 5'11 guy after all these years could even move up and win a 154lb title hiding at 147. The one time he did step up he lost to Santos.
On a P4P scale Castillo is a better fighter then Margarito. Head to Head Castillo woud lose because he is the smaller weaker guy but Floyd would school Margarito but that's not the point.
Hatton was supposed to be the new Castillo and give Floyd pressure he can't handle and it turned out false. Margarito is not that type of fighter.
He is supposed to be the big man who gives Floyd trouble but the thing is he isn't skilled enough, fast enough or accurate enough to post any real challange to Floyd. All he has is a good chin and would do a nice 12 rounds like Baldomir did.
