Who was the best lightweight of the last decade?

[jrosales13]

Personally Castillo put in more work at 135. I have him as the best LW of the decade...

Lets compare Floyd to Castillo

Floyd- Castillo(2x), Sosa, Ndou, Augustus.

Castillo- J Diaz, Johnston, Bazan, Casamayor, Lazcano, Quinonez.

Castillo has the better body of work at 135.

I see the dig in this thread.

[Silencers]

In terms of ability Mayweather is up there but I think Castillo accomplished more.

Maybe I'm being biased towards Floyd since I was a big fan back then .

Yeah you could also put JLC as the best one.

[Horus]

I agree...........


Hes a Top 5 ATG at 135.

Hes the Number 1 ATG at 130.

When I think about it top 10....135 is loaded...

1. Duran
2. Sweet Pea
3. Benny
4. Armstrong
5. Gans


Floyd
Chavez
Canzoneri
Williams
Ortis


I know Im forgetting some.

I may be overrating Floyd but I never seen anything like him at 135.

It is loaded that is why I was shocked when you put him top 5...

I wouldn't put him top 10 because, he just didn't have the longevity in that wieght-class. Only 5 fights and is not like all 5 opponents were killers you know?

Now 130 he put in work he is clearly top 3. Personally you having him as the G.O.A.T in that weigh-class cuz he put in work. But, only 5 fights at LW that has such a rich history is hard for me to put him in the top 10 all time.

Joel Casamayor IMO. He beat Freitas (IMO), beat Corrales, Campbell, JLC (IMO) and Michael Katsidis.

I see what you mean but he was so damn god at that weight. I do wish he wouldve stuck around longer though.

Yeah, I was leaning towards Casamayor too but I didn't want to have to go through the resume to see if what I was thinking was correct.

But, you didn't mention why he should higher than flash or Arguello at 130?

Like I have him in the top 3 easily and no problem with you having him at #1 at 130. Personally I have him #2 behind Arguello and right in front of Flash Elorde(Filipino great BTW if you didn't know).

But, again Flash, Arguello, and, Floyd has a case as the G.O.A.T in that weight-class. Any order you want to put him is fine by me though
