    Round 11 greatest round in Floyds career.

    Castillo outweighed Mayweather on the night by 10lbs, in this round, I think Mayweather gets him on the inside.

    It was a close fight but Floyd edge it.(i can see a draw too)
    But I still can't belive Floyd had so much trouble with someone like Castillo on both fights.

    Castillo is good but he isn't an elite fighter, probably a B- fighter at best. I too can't believe Floyd had so much trouble with him

    Castillo was 10lbs heavier on the night, and used all the tools in the bag to keep Floyd frustrated and off balance.

    Castillo was a B+ fighter in his prime and was the best fighter in the world at 135lbs. Wins over Stevie Johnston, Juan Lascano, Julio Diaz, Casamayor and Corrales.

    Not to mention that FLoyd tore his rotator cuff, and was fighting injured for most of the fight.

    Floyd is talented, no doubt about it, but he lacks heart.It is his heart that made him duck Margarito and Cotto, and believe me it is his heart that will let him down against
    Manny. I love Floyd...but he fights too scared . And we all know what fighting scared can do to a fighter, just ask the most scared of them all, McCline.

    Find a new schtick clown. Floyd didnt duck Margarito or Cotto. And Floyd beat Castillo with 2 broken ribs and a torn rotator cuff. What constitutes heart to you?

    I acutally dont think it was close at all. I had 7-4 and 1 even for Mayweather. Collazo-Berto and Pac-JMM II are way harder fights to judge

    Just watched the first fight.

    Mayweather -114
    JLC - 113

    JLC brought the fight to Mayweather but FMJ was just to slick, a point should have been deducted to JLC for those body punches while standing behind, i feel the judge was to involved in the fight.

    I was surprised, FMJ looked good working on the inside in tenth. If only he would do it more often...
