    I think Casamayor is a very underrated yet top tier guy. I fear that history will forget this man.

    I always liked Casamayor, wish he would have fought more

      wow alright man I guess it is your opinion

      wrong but your opinion none the less

      but I would say those guys at the time they fought either Chico or JLC were top tier guys and 3 out of those 4 you brought up? multi division champs and all of the champions for more than one reign

        Opinions are opinions and not wrong in this case until the time comes to prove it either way. Can you see the future?

        For example, when i think of the hof i think of champs like de la hoya and mosley being inducted no problems, but the more i look at castillo and chico the more i think they will fall a bit short.

              Talk to me when he finds the balls to box Cotto and Mosley. Until then he is nothing but a good boxer that avoids the best.

                Exactly! He is a skillful boxer, but he hasn't fought the best.

                  Poll to be added.
                  floyd's resume is solid, but pac, cotto, and mosley have always made the toughest fights; sometimes losing or getting into close fights.

                  floyd has had a great managed career and his p4pness imho is based on his talent and boxinng ability, not so much his resume.

                    For example i dont believe that barry mcguigan should be in the hof just like i dont believe castillo or chico should be in there. Two wrongs dont make a right.

                    Let me give tell you off the top of my head some elite fighters i believe deseve hof status, floyd, pac, mosley, de la hoya, jmm, morales, barerra, hopkins, people like that. I think there is a pretty big difference between these types of guys and castillo and chico. Id place castillo and chico closer to the juddahs and baldos of this world, but slightly above them. Having won titles doesnt necessarily sway me, you beat a man and take his title, its the man you beat thats important.
