    i mean, he always brings up augustus, and as of late cotto.....but never, i mean never have i heard him say that castillo was a tough fight for him....does that say he really feels he lost the first one, so he chooses to not give credit where credit is due.....

    i mean, whether he admits it or not, castillo did brake his ribs....and if he didnt, coming into a fight hurt with broken ribs, and a torn cuff (how he says) PLUS A HARD FIGHT THAT 85% of people feel you lost would still be one of your hardest fights, right ???

    He was injured in the first Castillo fight, and damn near blew him out in the immediate rematch. If you actually watch the Burton fight, he was hit way more cleanly and more often.

    No, he gave Castillo tons of credit in that fight.

    He did mention Castillo in the buildup to the Ortiz fight.

    Floyd can be a dick. This is just one of his many ways of doing so.
     
  8. HE was injured vs.Castillo and sick vs Cotto.
    Just coincidental he only stepped up vs these 2 fighters who were real threats.
    Whack!

    Your location status pretty much sums it up when talking about Floyd.

    Floyd was the one in the ring with those guys. If he feels like Cotto was the tougher fight, than that's what counts.

    He won the first 5 rounds in the first fight before something serious happened to him. I dont blame the judges, the first 5 rounds ruined it for Castillo
