    not just lightweight IMO.
    I think you are going a little overboard there.

      If he beats:

      Corrales, Tszyu, Mayweather, Mosley, Judah, and Spinks.

      I think he deserves a shot at that title.

          If Castillo can beat Corrales then he would crack the top ten. Look at all the guy's he's fought.

          Floyd Mayweather 2x
          Stevie Johnston 2x
          Julio Diaz
          Joel Cassamayor
          Juan Lazcano
          Cesar Bazan

          Both Johnston and Mayweather were p4p fighters at the time of thos fights. In pretty much everyones opnion he's 1-1 with Floyd.

            -ps. I ran out of weed, so Ill be back to defend this ridiculous statement later Mic.
            You better get a big bag of weed because I don't see how you can defend that statement.

              The only reason I think he shouldn't be considered an all time great, even with a win over Chico, is because of the way he's won/lost/whatever. He officially lost to Floyd twice, Juaregui twice, Soto once, and some other guy I forget. Although I think that the first fight with Mayweather was close and Castillo may have won...he still "lost" the fight. A draw & MD or SD or whatever it was with Johnson was nice, but he didn't convincingly beat him both times. Many thought that Casa beat Castillo and I personally scored it a draw. Yet again another unconvincing win. And after that Bazan, Diaz, and Lazcano were nice wins, but nothing extraordinary. I just think he needs to do a bit more than just Corrales to crack a top 10 list. A win over Corrales would get him close however.

                If you think about it:

                there are people who think JCC is the best fighter of all time. In reality, they have alot of reasons to think so. Especially how he was great for such a long period of time.

                I have already heard comparisons of JLC to JCC, not saying he should be considered in his class already,

                but if he beats the fighters in the forementioned lists, then I think he would rival JCC somewhat. Hence the logic you could use to say he "could possibly" be an all time great, when everything is said and done.

                  JLC is proving to be great for his time. Not all-time.

                  He has a long way to go and is not a youngster anymore.

                    Where the people who flamed me for giving rounds to Trinidad , I think this is much worse.

                    LOOK THE GREATEST LIGHTWEIGHT EVER!

                      I do not see why that logic is not understandable.

                      I do see how giving Tito 11 rounds of the Oscar fight is not though.
