    Just Castillo, I don't think Judah even came close. Burton was a decent scrap until it got stopped.

    Funny to think if DLH just kept jabbing history would be so different.
    I can say that for DLH more than once too.

    For reals, LukeO, I was about to say didn't DLH win on one of judges scorecards?

    But really consider the fact that DLH had about the same advantages over Mayweather that Mayweather had over Marquez and still won!

    Then Pacman, a smaller man, beats the pants off DLH. Just goes to show that size is not really a factor when you're talking about future HOFs like these! It's a poor, old excuse.

    Definitely Castillo laid out the Blueprint to beating Floyd which is to consistently pressure him with flurries of punches and hope to win a close decision. Unfortunately he was not able to repeat his performance in their rematch but still to this day everyone knows Castillo got to closest to beating Floyd out of everyone injury or not.

    Yes, but then DLH would still be in the picture hogging up all the big fights away from his GBP fighters and this board would be full of Hoya hate instead of Floyd hate.

    At least DLH was willing to fight good fighters in his prime. I'm way more impressed with DLH's credentials than I am PBF. I think about how if a pernell whittaker(who I presonally believe was better than floyd is now) was fighting now, I could only see floyd trying to make him seem like he isn't worth fighting.

    Judah in the first rounds was amazing, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was faster and landed much crisper punches, it really looked as if he could beat Floyd at his own game.

    We all know how it turned out, though.
