    Why can't you guys get over it? Ok, most of you think Castillo should have gotten the nod on this fight. He didn't, and Floyd won. Those records are official records and don't have an asterik by it.

    People seemed to have gotten over several other close fights; Trinidad over de la hoya, cotto over clottey, and less than 2 months ago, williams over lara, and that's rarely even talked about anymore. We all understand, many of you do not like Mayweather Jr., but he is officially undefeated and he beat castillo twice.

    The same reason people still haven't gotten over Leonards win over Hagler.

    I can't even say with a str8 face that Mayweather deserved that win over the champion.

    The media doesn't lie, and the only significant source (that I can recall) that had Castillo winning that fight was Harold Ledderman. And to be frank, some of his cards have been spot on, and some have been awful. Most ringside press had Mayweather eeking out a close victory, Associated Press had it 115-111 for Mayweather. Anybody who watches the fight and scores it objectively can see that the fight was close, 7-5 (or in between) for EITHER man would have been acceptable IMO.

    That's way too wide. Floyd would have had to win 8 rounds.

    I had Floyd winning 7 rounds at best.
