    i agree, that was mayweather's prime. That was when mayweather was confident in beating anyone in his division.

    mayweather now is obviously not prime anymore. luckily for mayweather, there are no castillos at WW right now.

    Floyd was in his prime in the first Castillo fight

    it reminded me of the de leon broner fight. one guy was doing all the fighting and the other guy was running and pot shotting. it was such a terrible robbery

    Castillo clearly lost both fights. I didn't see anything that he did well in either fight against Floyd. He did keep the pressure on Floyd, but he held and hit, and hit low.

    The best thing that he did against Floyd is land some bodyshots, and they didn't slow Floyd down.

    Castillo also had a big weight advantage on Floyd in fight 1, and he still couldn't push Floyd around.

    Anyone who thinks Floyd won the first fight has too much mayweath ear cum on their lips

    Floyd got beat on worse than Josie Harris

    For all you *******s this fight is about as relevant as Pacquiao getting KOed by Torrecampo.

    And so what is your excuse for Castillo losing a 2nd time the very next fight? Mayweather gave him a chance to prove he really beat him. He failed 2x.

    Aren't you one of the newbies cheering Mayweather is close to the "Goat at 130" But was not "Prime" at 135??:lol:

    The second fight was also close, But that time Mayweather won a close fight.

    Castillo was the better man first time

    Floyd was the better man second time

    Floyd was in his prime, got schooled fair and square

    Which fight were you watching...!?

    Mayweather boxed very well in the first four rounds and won them clearly. And as the TS pointed out, he stood his ground and fought in the trenches at points in the championship rounds (particularly in the 11th, which he won on my card. Even if you think Mayweather lost the fight, it wasn't like he was on his bike all night. He engaged more in this fight than in the rematch.
