    No it wasn't the best case scenario. That is YOUR opinion. I could careless about his fight with Aragon and has nothing to do with the fact that both of the mentioned fights were close, so any reasonable person would say that either a win by Floyd, a draw or a win by Castillo or Maidana was not a robbery. You said no one was even in the argument of beating Mayweather which still is ridiculous.

    I laugh how you try to discredit my post by insinuating I am "under-informed". Are all of the professional boxers who had Floyd losing either of those fights and the writers who have covered boxing for years also under informed?

    Castillo I is the only fight where Mayweather lost (albeit very close) IMO.

    Castillo didn't clearly beat Floyd, it was an either way fight in my opinion, but was close the whole way. Maidana, never came close to beating Floyd. That's just some bull**** that Floyd haters throw out there. The one thing that Maidana can say is that he hurt Floyd bad, and Castillo didn't. Floyd had a little trouble walking after Maidana knocked his denture work out at the end of the second or third round.

    He never saw the fight and doesn't know **** about boxing just repeating stuff he heard other troll pbf haters say. He only started watching boxing when ggg started getting some hype.

    They're either not able to score those bouts objectively (because of inherent bias they can't put aside), else they don't actually know how to score a boxing match. Not every pro boxer knows how to score properly, you know - assuming they do is a bit ridiculous, actually.

    You can not reasonably make a case, if applying the scoring criteria properly, for Castillo and Maidana faring any better than a draw...much less to say they concretely deserved the win and got jobbed. You can very reasonably say that Aragon was unfortunate the amateurs hadn't yet switched to a more pro-style rule set when he fought Mayweather, because if they had, then he would officially hold a W over him. Even under the old rule set, his fight with Mayweather was even closer than Castillo I and Maidana I.

    I tend to agree with the first Castillo fight but, disagree with the Midiana fight. FM won both the Midiana, ODH, and Pac fights.

    No way in hell did floyd deserve to take that belt from Maidana with that feeble performance.

    And the funny thing is this was the fight in the run up he started with all the TBE shouting **** lol.

    If you think genuinely think Maidana beat Mayweather then you need to find another sport to watch or need to avoid watching Mayweather fights as you can't seem to look at anything he does objectively.

    Maidana did nothing but foul rough up hit behind the head and knee pbf. He also cut pbf early in the fight which bothered him. When he got used to the cut he went to work and Maidana did nothing in the second half of the fight pbf won a close but clear fight. Maidana made pbf uncomfortable so that automatically qualifies as a win for wishful thinking pbf haters like you.

    Pretty much spot-on. I wouldn't entirely dismiss the work Maidana put in, because it was the same tactics (staying just inside the boundaries of what the ref on the night allows) Salido used to great effect against Lomachenko. The difference is that, even if Mayweather at times against Maidana was more uncomfortable than Lomachenko ever was against Salido, on the basis of RBR distribution it doesn't matter how rattled you are or even how many times you get badly hurt. All that matters is who edged the majority of rounds. Floyd took eight (however rough the other four might have been) against Chino, something Loma couldn't manage against Siri.
