Past prime was he? Before the Floydfight he wss on a win streak and he had beaten 4 former, current, and future champions. Don't boxrec it. U expose yourself.
He was perhaps a little passed his absolute physicial prime, but he despite a slight physical slip he was mentally at his best and seasoned. And that package was his peak IMO. Just look at his fights prior in comparison to earlier.
Lol hell no their only hyped up cuz they beat the piss out of each other. You telling me Mosley isn't greater than corrales or Castillo?
Cotto has one real good win over Mosley, a couple solid wins over Judah and Clottey, than a bunch of average at best wins. That's it. He has 3 wins above average.
Castillo has Johnston (#1 135), Lazcano (not amazing, but the guy was #1 at 135 at the time), Corrales, and Casamayor. That's 4 wins that are above average, and not to mention he arguably beat a prime Mayweather, the only guy to ever do so.
When you take all that into account, he's greater than Cotto. I'm sorry.

If you consider Castillo to have beaten Mayweather the first time then there really is no argument at all.

Exactly. If you take that into account, I wouldn't argue Castillo getting into the HOF.
But I don't understand why beating unbeaten prime fighters, who had never done a damn thing prior to fighting him, is so good??? There's a difference between being Canelo undefeated right now (he actually had a very good win over Trout), Hatton undefeated in 2007, and being Ricardo Torres undefeated.
