Non of which means Floyd auto loses to Duran , and again I never said Castillo was Duran , I said he was of the level Duran fought at while 135 , to be precise prime Castillo could possibly beat every 135 Duran opponent ,, my point is at 135 Duran never fought a guy of Floyds level , I,m not against the view Duran wins but anybody that thinks Floyd is easybeat at 135 is just plain crazy , and this is not about Castillo , like I said Duran struggled at times himself like with Mamby , we can go back and forward with this stuff all night

All my post was there to demonstrate is that, while the Floyd of today seems to have solved the puzzle of a pressure fighter, the Floyd who fought at 135 struggled a lot with a pressure fighter by the name of Jose Luis Castillo.

I don't think any boxing historian would compare Castillo's pressure fighting to Duran's pressure fighting in the category of effectiveness.

That is something that you have to take into account for this fantasy matchup. Although Floyd was 31-0 after his career at lightweight finished... he still showed some signs of greenness, such as, not knowing how to effectively counter pressure in the ring. The performance Mayweather put on against Hatton or Baldomir (pressure fighters at 147) blows his performances at 130/135 (Chavez, Castillo, Castillo) out of the water.

You add Floyd's current ring intelligence to his skill and athleticism at 135, then we have a really interesting prospect of a fight at 135.

When did Castillo, who had been stopped 4 times already by the age of 25 turn into an ATG? And if Floyd couldn't stop him in 24 rounds, how does this deluded nuthugger Burner think he has a chance in hell of stopping Duran?

Castillo isn't on the same level as Duran, Buchanan or DeJesus.

To be fair, all four of those were by cuts... Kind of a loss with an asterisk on it.

De La Hoya didn't really take the life out of Chavez in the first fight when he won by TKO on cuts... Castillo hadn't been definitively KO'd.

He actually have never been down before the Hatton fight.

Anyway, the announce team for some fight said that Castillo had to boil down so much to make feather and super feather that he was susceptible to cuts in a lot of his older fights. That would explain those four losses pretty well.

Castillo ran up a lot of badass names on his resume at 135 after Floyd beat him twice. Lazcano, Casamayor, Diaz, Corrales... not to mention, he had Stevie Johnston already on there. He's a pretty damn good lightweight.

Floyd Touches that how?

Good lightweight to be sure, though he split the bouts with Corrales, Roberto Duran he's not.

Not on the level of Buchanan or De Jesus. Nice try though.

You guys dont read ,, I said Castillo is on the level of Durans 135 opponents , it was never said Castillo is Duran lol , and yes he is in on the level with De Jesus and Buchanan and would fight competitive fights with either of those two , so would Chico fight with those two and Floyd would beat both of them ,,, Durans best was not at 135 in my view I believe he matured into a better fighter at the higher weights .

!! Shawn and Roberto Duran meet Floyd Mayweather Jr....(dont let wwe and dancing with stars fool you...Floyd is still kickin ass)

Duran would be TKO'd against Mayweather at 135....he would take a merciless beating and the ref would stop it.....Mayweather was untouchable at 135.
