    The weird thing is, Castillo, Cotto, DLH and even Chavez all have a similar style, I might be wrong.:think

    not at all

    Oscar doesn't have those kind of swarming skills. He just tried to apply pressure as a boxer-puncher. Swarming pressure is the best kind to try on Floyd. We don't have many elite swarmers these days in Floyd's weight divisions.

    Without hesitation, I'd say it was;

    1) Castillo 1 (since I had him edging the fight)
    2) Cotto
    3) Augustus

    For anyone who says Jose isn't numero uno, think about this Castillo in the rematch still managed to win 3-4 rounds against Mayweather. An opponent winning that much against Floyd is an event in itself. Castillo pulled this off even after the sky high ring IQ Mayweather had a 12 round experience with him giving him the opportunity to go home and figure out Castillo.

    Cotto is easily top 3 toughest opponents in Maywether's career. Whats funny is that a bunch of people had Cotto being shot and in for a brutal beating in this fight. Wrong, I'm glad to say I gave Cotto the respect he has earned and predicted a tough fight for Mayweather.

    Cotto's performance is extremely overrated here because people were expecting Floyd to destroy him, In all honesty, this fight was about as tough as his fight with Victoriano Sosa.

    Floyd will not admit it but Castillo was by far his hardest fight.

    I don't know, it's hard to say. I believe there is the whole, "Cotto did better than expected" bump that is proliferating and skewing the poll. Plus there's the Cottards. "The force is strong with them".

    There is also Floyd's own statement, unless you just don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth...

    lmao, it's funny cause people don't. Until it comes to something they want to hear. :deal

    For example, if you believe that statement, then you should also believe that he could've just "boxed Cotto and made the fight boring". :lol:

    Can't have it both ways.
