Naw. Castillo was a clearer winner of May-Cast (1) than Floyd was against Oscar. Admittedly, he had medical concerns and left no doubt in the rematch. Again, disagree. From 5-7 to 8-4 are all within reason. I had it 6-6 with Floyd winning his 6 more decisively. If we drop the very close rounds, Floyd won 4-2. In hindsight, the SD in Floyd's favour was spot on. Best 154 lber yes, but past his best. He was never too keen to fight Marg (before he was exposed) nor Cotto nor PW. Got a scare in the second, but nowhere near close to being KO'd. I'll be ****ed if I know ! On balance, IMO, he's responsible for the fight not being made, for reasons I've stated in other threads. But it looks like it will probably happen sometime soon. Seems to have a decent chin. Not very tested though. While I don't much care for him, he is a master boxer, one of the most naturally talented to ever lace up gloves. Maybe a wee bit harsh on the Noobie, but we all roll differently !:good
Judah Hatton Mosley Marquez Dela Hoya Corley Castillo Gatti Hernandez Corrales Chavez What a brilliant resume. He fought world class fighters from his early days and is 41-0. The guys a true top 30 ATG and might climb even higher.

People who say Floyd makes boring fight are morons who likes mma and dont know what is boxing, and are always searching for the supposed right excuse to be blind. If the opponents looks like crap is because Floyd is great. Look at Cotto who has lost to margacheato, Manny, looks terrible against a old Mosley, needs to punch in the groin to not be ko with Judah and Torres and who takes 37% power punches against a cartoon champ like he does at 154 pounds. Who has been in trouble in almost all important fights of his career like margo, corley, manny, judah, torres, etc. To be in front of a fighter flat fooded and be intouchable is an art, like be in the canvas and be untouchable like Floyd he does is an art. 41 has tried and 41 has failed miserably i 5 differents categories. Do you smoke crack? You are like the people who said like boxing and like bad fighters, go to wrestling and mma and shout your mouth. But don't look like a fool in a forum with people who knows what is boxing please.
Power is the last thing to go on any fighter, and mosley might be the hardest hitting 147 fighter ever.
I am an American and I wish Floyd would be more American and get in and get dirty with the best. That would make him the real deal without having Pacman fans really to say anything. Fact is he does not do that and there is no meaning behind what he does for any of us. Manny is a symbol around the world of someone that fights for the fans first and someone that gives it his all in every way to the be the best. I watched all of Manny's fights on HBO and it has been incredible to see him rise and learn new things every fight. He seems much more dedicated to the good of boxing and the world than Floyd who only cares about his family. I can respect that about Floyd but when you stand next to a man that takes care of his family and his Nation you can't look good next to him.
Patriotic american tha is why Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhhamed Ali, and Willie Pep who won a round without throwing a punch are in the top 3 fighters all time. Because they can box. Brawlers and sluggers get the attention of the morons who dont know nothing about boxing. The name of the game is BOXING is not fighting or punching and the goel of the sport is hit and dont get hit. If you dont understand that then you are simply stupid. The better examples of hit and no get hit are pep and mayweather all time.
