I kind of want to go back and watch the first Castillo fight now.

His personality is what gets him discounted by his detractors - he's boxing's Ric Flair. People hate him, but he made it that way on purpose which lead to his getting paid a fuckload of money.

Still the 'fought nobody' argument is gone.

Cotto - still bad
Manny - couldn't hit hims with either hand
Castillo - still at the top of his game
Corrales - super bad
Canelo - taken to school

Lesser but still impressive
Hatton - i go back and forth on Hatton, but still Rick had a run
Mosely - a bit old, but fairly game
Zab Judah - kind of glass chin, but wildly talented
