    whoops


    "Mayweather said he tore his left rotator cuff two days before the first fight and couldn't throw a jab or a left hook. He had surgery following the controversial decision over Castillo and he said his shoulder is completely healed now. Castillo, a 3-1 underdog, said Mayweather was just making excuses. "His problem wasn't his shoulder or his hands," Castillo said. "It was the guy standing across from him." :!:

    Floyd won and he injured it two days before. WOW that must have been hard for Floyd. None of this, it's healed stuff, and re-injured in the 4th round stuff.

    Secondly, poor form by Floyd!

    It's a bit different. First off, Mayweather won, he didn't lose 8-10 rounds. Second, Mayweather was seen complaining about his shoulder in between rounds. Here's how they're similar though, nobody gave a damn about Floyd's shoulder. It's been over 10 years and people still harp on that fight about how Floyd got a gift, this despite the fact that he won the rematch as well. No one gives a damn about Manny's shoulder either. He lost, and he lost decisively. If there's a rematch, the same thing will happen.

    Not according to the people in the arena who booed the decision and at least half the people watching and scoring the fight.

    1. He won

    2. He isn't crying and complaining about it. He said it once in the post fight interview. :yep

    1. He won but most fans thought he lost.

    2. That's ONE more time than Pac-Man said it in his post-fight interview. LOL Pac-Man never mentioned the injury, like Floyd did vs Castillo. This is too funny.

    I know you're still hurting, bro...but it's cool. Pain goes away eventually. Well, maybe not in some cases when you have so much invested in your hero but nonetheless...what's your favorite drink? I'll have one for you...salud. :cheers
    But please, just don't go this route: :hang

    So you mean like last Saturday? They booed Floyd too but it was a schooling. You score the fight not crowd reactions. Scoring 101 really. We now see why you thought Castillo won, because the crowd booed Floyd :yep

    There was never any proof Floyd was injured. Hbo team and in basically ALL polls the world voted for Castillo winning. It you wanna call it a draw, that's being generous to Floyd. You think Floyd won you just a *****. Floyd got a gift decision victory everyone knows that no need debating that.

    I guess that's why Floyd rematched him then. ;)

    Yes. That's the honorable thing to do when it's a close fight. He did the same for Maidana. Pacquiao fight wasn't close and the ESPN polls yesterday said 68% NO REMATCH. What did Pac do to deserve a rematch? He was schooled. Heck Maidana deserves another rematch before Pacquiao.
