Who came the closest to beating Mayweather Jr.?

Hatton. He almost ran into Mayweather's fist so hard that Mayweather may not have recovered. Too bad that plan backfired on him.

 

The only time relevant to current PBF is DLH. He did it with his jab, the second he abandoned it he was a target mitten.

 

Castillo.

 

^^^^^

 

zab

if the kd was properly ruled a kd, judah doesnt low blow and wins 1 more round he had a case for a win

 

I assume castillo is not included here?
Most people actually gave the first fight to him. From there Oscar went the closest, zab, while obviously losing, perhaps was The most dominant albeit only for a few rounds

 

Castillo did beat him in the opinion of most, so it has to be Castillo. Assuming he doesn't count, then it's Oscar.

 

Castillo, the oscar fight wasnt even close.

 

castilio or zab i agre odh wasnt close

 

I haven't seen the Castillo fight yet, so i'm gonna have to go with Zab.

Again like someone already said the Golden boy wasn't close, I generously gave I believe 3 rounds. Also you can't say "if he used the jab more" thats like saying that Hatton won the Pacquaio fight, if he hadn't gotten knocked out. Oscar didn't win and couldn't have, even if he did use the jab.

 

1.castillo smart presure great body work 2. oscar same game plan but stoped working behind jab 3. zab just could not focus full 12 rds

 

But Hatton was winning that second round by a country mile when he was knocked completely unconscious. :yep

 

Castillo clearly won the first fight with Mayweather Jr., and arguably the rematch too.

DLH - Mayweather was very close and could've gone either way, depending on how you score fights.

 

Zab.

That was the fight that made me realise that Floyd wasn't an all time P4P at 147 like SRL was.

Could anyone really imagine SRL having the same insipid performance over the first 4 rounds against Zab, that Floyd did?
