    :patsch Please dont go there Luke...You know those fights were not as close as the Mayweather\Castillo fight...Like I said, a close fight doesnt equal robbery...People can make a case for Floyd winning and a person can make case for Castillo winning...Those other fights you mention was not as close and you know it!

    No no. That was me, comparing it to what he said.

    It's stupid.


    If this or that happened.

    Saying if one thing would of happened is okay but when you make a list of things it just gets stupid.

    Technically its DLH for actually winning a scorecard but in reality its Castillo.

    The only people you can say are Castillo and Zab. Castillo's was due to an injury, but Castillo was doing what he was supposed to do. Zab was just using his natural gifts and being competitive.

    Corely and Ndou gave it a shot, but Mayweather was fighting a bit out of character in both fights.

    I had trinidad up at the last round, I felt that Hoya practically gave that fight away

    This pretty much sums it up. Castillo actually beat Mayweather. That Castillo didn't get the decision or at least a draw is another story. Floyd's 39-1.

    Oscar proved to me in the fight with FMJ how good he really was. When this fight was first announced I thought FMJ would toy with Oscar, bust up his face then stop him in the late rounds. Pretty much what Pac did to him, the only thing is that his talent somewhat overshadowed the fact that he was past his prime at least for a few rounds. FMJ shouldn't brag that he is better than Oscar and should realize that the biggest factor for his win on that night was timing. One fighter at the peak of his game and the other on his way out.

    Castillo - PBF
    Oscar - PBF

    Both were close and clear but in different directions with Oscar PBF won close but clear, with Castillo you can put it any way you want but the punch stat and the perception can't be wrong at the same time, Castillo was robbed in that fight that's a fact, once again Castillo got robbed in that fight.
