Prime Castillo was better than Rios. Rios would never in a million years give Floyd a close fight. Nor would he beat a prime Johnston. I'm also confident that Chico would have stopped Rios within 6. I'm a Rios fan too, but Castillo would have battered him down the stretch.
Bullshit. I am sick to death of Castillo getting credit for the first Floyd fight, a fight I felt he clearly won. Floyd injured both his hands/arms in that fight. That is pretty debilitating in a prize fight. Let's not pretend for a fucking second his "skill" helped him. His skill couldn't help him really beat Stevie jOHNSON legitimately. OR Javier jAGUERUI ever.
I'm not saying Castillo beats a good lightweight here. I'm saying he beats Brandon Rios. It's a fairly easy pick because Castillo was much better than Brandon Rios.
