    Not every injury calls for surgery. Also, there is audio in the corner between rounds, were Floyd is complaining about his shoulder. Also, Floyd won, so there wasn't any excuse needed. Unlike Pac. Just wish Pac had said something prior to the fight. Huge let down. It would have been worth waiting a little longer so Pac could be 100%.

    Yeah, he wasn’t as boring. Then he got very boring.

    Yeah, he was great, but it's old news. Time to move on.

    Prime Zab could beat the Pretty Boy version. He was faster.

    Very true, fault falls on Pacquiao & his team for not rescheduling, they still made they're money but the fans suffered more.

    I just rewatched the Castillo fight. It was wider than I remember. Floyd got bossed in that fight. 7-5 Or 8-4 Castillo. Would of been an excellent win for Castillo whom was an excellent fighter.

    By prime Zab, do you mean the super lightweight version? Or the welterweight version who stopped Cory Spinks only a year before being handled by Floyd?

    If it's the 140 version, Zab still gets handled. Super lightweight Floyd was quite arguably the best version of Floyd, he just couldn't secure the better fights to truly showcase how well that weight suited him. Judah never had the wits or the skillset to stay with Floyd, would've always fallen apart after a few rounds, and the one hundred forty-pound demon Floyd would've whooped him bad.

    Judah was never that great,

    I don't know why he is mentioned like he was ever that top caliber of a fighter at any point in his Career.

    At his best, he was good enough to defeat a whole lot of B guys, but he lacked the smarts and roundedness to do anything more than get a quick start on the B+ graders and beyond.

    Still had a career that most guys would envy, though, if you remove some of the more ignominious antics (attacking Nady, taking the easy way out against Clottey, et cetera).
