    hell yea he does.....he was lineal/ring lightweight champ, won the ibf and wbo at 130 in one of the deepest eras from 130-135...he was one of the best. He fought top fighters back to back to back

    was out 2 years and came back to win titles...that's hard enough and he was in jail.

    also won one of the greatest title fights on film, and one of the most improbable comebacks as well.


    he deserves it more than several in their, not just Gatti

      Castillo vs Corrales was a hall of fame fight, so yeah, put him in there.

      And take a few guys out - please!

            moments like this fight is what the hall of fame is about...hell graziano got in and it was majority because of his series with Zale....he only beat blown up welterweights, none of the best middleweights of his era except a past prime zale.

            Castillo should get in too....there era was so deep and they cleaned out 130-135 between the two of them once Floyd moved up

                    2 great comeback wins on his ledger...Castillo fight is arguably the greatest lightweight title fight ever

                    Freitas was undefeated and 2 division titlist, went on to win another title I believe after this loss

                    he also defeated perennial contender Angel Manfredy who only lost to the absolute best

                    contenders Justin Juuko, Hector Arroyo



                    also blitzed former world titlist Derrick Gainer and UD former world titlist gary St. Claire

                    he dominated everyone he faced, except the absolute best....outside of top 20 all time great mayweather and A Clottey who dwarfed him, he found a way to beat his oppoents

                    was impressed how he outboxed casamayor in the second fight...it gets overlooked

                      Absolutely.

                      Castillo/Corrales is arguably the greatest fight of the 21st century. Super underrated

                      It's a shame he went out the way he did
