    A fight in which he lost, or one which he clearly won. Which was tougher? :huh

    Martinez does get drastically overrated though to be fair.

    Glen Hamada 119-109 in floyd zab fight. WTF Zab took first 4. and last round a case can be made for the 11th too.

    Coulda sworn Floyd beat Castillo. I had him 115-113 in that fight. Zab was a lot harder fight obviously.

    Floyds gloves choice I think played a major part in the fight.

    to castillo? Really? I didn't think it was that wide to Castillo. May have to watch it again even though he only had one hand

    It was a parallel to the Zab fight. Mayweather started the first 5 or so rounds great but Castillo arguably swept the final eight. JLC is one of the last true great pressure fighters of the last few years IMO.

    The fact that HBO essentially admitted Floyd lost, while they were really trying to promote him says a lot.

    had pacquiao fought guzman at 130 he would have gotten schooled
    ricky hatton of the kostay tyszu fight would have given pacquiao a tough competitive fight and it wouldn't have been a 1 sided affair.
    julio cesar chavez wasnt the monster ppl claim him out to be he was gifted 3 wins against slick fighters who arguable should have won
    the first pacquao-marquez fight wasnt close pacquiao clearly won that fight
