    That Floyd vs. Augustus fight is one hell of a scrap. Credit to both guys there.

    castillo put a whooping on him. if de la hoya said his shoulder hurt in the mayweather fight every floyd fan would make a conspiracy theory about it.

    When people say that Castillo wasn't landing I can't help but wonder what fight they were watching. he landed a ton of shots. he cracked some ribs even. The difference is that Castillo was focusing on the body and apparantly most people seem to think that body shot don't count.

    i don't think they can stomach watching past the third round.

    The reason why Castillo gets so much credit for his first fight wioth Floyd is becasue unlike his other 40 opponents, he knew he couldn't land head shots easily on Mayweather and stuck to a stalk, trap, and body-shot gameplan. I would say overall Mayweather was most hurt in this fight between his hand and his ribs.

    I guess mayweather's legs were shot for this fight too.

    :huh
    what is your reasoning for giving floyd the third and the fifth? he landed few punches, got caught with flush shots and was bullied around the ring. what were the swing rounds in the middle? when floyd wasn't holding in the sixth, he was being punched against the ropes. he was a punching bag in the seven. floyd only landed jabs in the eighth, while castillo was landed multiple body shots in the middle of the ring and got a point deducted. terrible terrible decision for floyd.

    Probably has more to do with the fact that Floyd gave Castillo an immediate rematch and won it more convincingly, giving some credence to the injury claim.

    Plus, you know, DLH never said he was injured so it's a moot point.
