I believe Castillo, Corales, AND Hatton will be inducted eventually.
Prime Hall of Fame fighters in Floyd resume?

Barrera was definitely a good win. I rate underdog wins very highly (Greb vs Tunney, Pac vs Barrera, Pac vs Lehlo, Floyd vs Corrales, Ayala vs Tapia) and Pac has a lot of them. Call it circumstance or whatever, but he won.Comment

Hatton did beat Kostya Tszyu when he was the #1 JWW in the world and won titles in 2 weight classes. Was the RING Champ at 140 for 4 years. Beat Tszyu (in the HOF), Collazo, Urango, Lazcano, and Malingaggi. Had other wins over Maussa and Stewart. If you seriously compare the resume's of Tszyu (who's in) to Corrales-Castillo-Genaro-Hatton, it's very similar.
Hatton only failed against the top fighters from that era. It's very similar to Floyd Patterson when he fought at HW. Patterson was the man until he ran, just failed in his biggest fights (Liston and Ali). Patterson has Archie Moore, Roy Harris, Ingemar Johansson, Tom McNeeley, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, and Oscar Bonavena on his resume. Solid but failed in his biggest fights.Comment

Stop it. Hatton is bloated at pretty much any weight before middleweight

You may wonder why Hatton retired after the Pac fight and so did Oscar? Because Pac gave them an ending career beating. Floyd cant do it in the course of 22 rounds while Pac did it in the matters of just 10 rounds.Comment

Hernandez retired after the Floyd fight, and for good reason. Those guys were not prime when Pac fought them. Sorry. Marquez was though!Comment
