    Well, he's beaten the same amount of fighters that were in the Top 5 in the division he was in when he fought them as Calzaghe did at 168.

    But let's leave that one for a rainy day.

    Paul Spadafora at this stage is a joke. Simple as that.

          No they weren't.

          And what does this have to do with anything? I'm not suggesting Spadafora was the best Lightweight during his reign. He wasn't.

          I'm just identifying he fought as many Top 5 fighters at 135 when he fought them in 3-4 years as Clazaghe did his entire reign at 168.

          That's all.

                I didn't bold Castillo so why are you responding to Castillo?

                Casamayor nor Corrales were even close to being considered Top 10 at Lightweight throughout Spadafora's entire reign. And were never ever ever considered to be an opponent for him.

                So no, they weren't.

                    amazing that we arguing the merits of one Paul Spadafora in the first place

                    he was a good solid lightweight champion

                    a decade ago
