Floyd won that fight 8-4. No contest. He beat DLH 7-5 that one was closer. Paquiao and Maidana were even farther. Mayweather is 48-0 just like he should be.
If you knew anything about boxingyou'd know an injured fighter cannot give 100 % He tries of course. If Pac hadn't been injured on May 2 we may have seen a far different fight
Floyd won the first 5 rounds. They were among the clearest rounds of the fight. If you think Floyd lost all of the last 7, well, that's on you.
Floyd landed almost exclusively to the head. Castillo landed almost exclusively to the body... It was indeed an ugly fight as far as entertainment (if you prefer a war or a technical match, either way I fancy it a poor viewing), as was their rematch. Castillo clearly gave him more problems than any other fighter he's fought has.
You can also add in the fight that took place between Cassamayor-Freitas, which was three months before Mayweather-Castillo1, and was no doubt possibly that years (2002) biggest robbery.
And that is probably only due to the shoulder injury, #48 has been tooled in the ring shoulder injury or not
Floyd lost that fight. I can see a case for a draw, just like I can see a case for a Maidana victory over Mayweather in their first fight - implausible but not completely out of the question. Even in loss to Castillo, Mayweather still makes it a very close fight. This is where I give Mayweather a lot of credit. Floyd had torn his rotator cuff but still used his injured arm a lot. When people watch Floyd fights, they tend to look at what he evades, but ignore the effective aggression against him. But when punches are landing on Floyd, they appeal to his ring generalship. It's all selective viewing and so threads like this are ultimately futile.
