    Jose Luis Castillo calls Floyd the GREATEST EVER: "better than Dempsey, Louis & Ali."

    this is from a 2014 interview i haven't seen until today. have never seen any mention of this.

    this is MAJOR props to Floyd. from arguably his toughest opponent.

      He's undefeated for a reason. Young Floyd moved up in weight and beat a bigger longer more seasoned future HOF Castillo in his prime TWICE.

      I thought everyone would've already came to their senses by now and publicly acknowledge Floyd as TBE. Kind of surprised when I hear otherwise....except for the jealous haters and racist of course.

          Um, anyone with their senses would never come to acknowledge that, lol.

          There are a lot of asterisks next to his opponents. I won't get into that because there are already 82039123018390128390128 threads about it. With that many threads, you know he will never be realized as TBE.

          Unless you bought a hat of course, then you already have your mind made up.

              It's always good to rate your own past opponents as highly as possible. It's great for your ego. Especially when some people think you actually won your first fight against him.

              Yeah, sure. The greatest boxer of all time. Of course.

                Everybody is entitled to an opinion, and this is what Jose Luis Castillo believes. So what. Big deal. It is meaningless.

                  Castillo marked the last time Floyd moved up in weight and challenged a top dog in their prime. The 130-135 version of Floyd really can't be criticized.

                    Floyd lacks a win over a prime atg like himself to be the goat. Something all the other candidates have.

                    Per fight stats, punch differentials, efficieny and consistency throughout his career make him a solid candidate for TBE though. And he probably is.

                    But goat no.
