    It doesn't matter how I scored the fight, Castillo won and I don't believe it was a robbery. I scored Pac/JMM I and II for JMM. However, I'm not going to go around pretending that JMM won both those fights.

    Did I insinuate a robbery?

    You made the point that Amsterdam would have ranked a win over Casa favorably, but that he lost to Castillo who lost to Floyd. Its only worth pointing out that that fight was close enough to go either way. As such, I don't think he would be out of line rating this win comprable to a win over Castillo.

    He said that beating Casamayor would be more impressive as he would have an easier time with Casa. I have no problem with saying a win over either would be comparable. However, he said that Floyd's win over Castillo was embarrassing; implying that he should have beat him more easily. He also admits that Castillo had stylistic advantages over Floyd. So now,according to Amsterdam, Castillo is comparable to Casa. Casa is an easier foight for Floyd. Beating Castillo in a close fight is embarrissing. Beating Casamayor is impressive. Do you agree with this assesment as well?

    For reasons I already mentioned two posts ago, I see Floyd's wins over Castillo as a better accomplishment than Amsterdam does (even though I scored the first fight for Castillo).

    I would see a win over Casa as comprable. Not better, not worse. I do think Casa is a better fighter than Castillo at the end of the day. But again, Castillo at 135lbs was a big, strong, effective fighter. I just favor Casa as a whole, and across different weight classes.

    I would agree with this. This assesment is actually logical and consistent.

    40- 59 for me, if he fought better opposition from 140 up he would be 20-39.

    Instead of using emoticons and insults in response to his posts, why don't you go ahead and tell us the 'A level (elite)' fighters Floyd has beaten.

    Go easy on him, he no doubt only started watching boxing after the PBF - Oscar 24/7.

    Somewhere between 30-35 for me, on my very rough (in my head) list. :p

    So I voted 20-39, obviously.

    I said 'A level (elite)' fighters

    Hatton is not an elite P4P fighter at welterweight, or at any weight for that matter. He's a solid, effective B level fighter when performing at his absolute best. Castillo, Corrales, Judah, and De La Hoya were B+ when Floyd fought them.

    You could argue Corrales, and possibly even Chicanito. Castillo, Judah, DLH, and Hatton don't quite make the list. However, I could understand if someone said Hatton
