You know, I am thankful for them all to be honest. From the ones that I dislike Mayweather, John Ruiz, David Haye, Joe Calzaghe through to the ones i enjoy watching Morales, MAB, Shane Mosley to the ones mentioned above. They all contribute something special to the world of boxing.

Corrales vs Torres at 140 would had been great. But those wars with Castillo took alot out of him I believe

For sure. If i got hit with that left hook that Castillo landed in the 2nd fight i would be dead. That punch could chop down trees i think.
