Who is the best opponent Floyd has ever fought?

Delahoya easily. Simple question who wins 2007 Delahoya versus 2003 castillo - Delahoya by mid-late round KO after winning every round.

 

Jose Luis Castillo

 

Oscar would outweigh Jose by 20lbs of course he would! The question is who at the time was a better fighter in their resprctive divisions?

LMW Oscar or LW Castillo?

My vote goes to Jose everytime.

 

Castillo.

 

I voted for castillo, since many of us would have agreed gaved mayweather a real tough challenge in their first fight were it was very controversial...

 

My vote goes to castillo. Who most experts feel beat PBF first fight (HBO called it for catillo)

And this just shows how poor Floyds comp has been since he moved up from lightweight. An old DLH who would have beat Floyd had he not gassed so early being the best opponent in the past 5 years. And Judah had just been exposed again by baldomir before facing floyd.

Floyd is facing his biggest test in years come Dec 8th. Hatton is not going to run out of steam like DLh did.

 

That's really a hard question. Mayweather beat a lot of good A and B level fighters.

Tony Pep
Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Phillip N'Dou
Anturo Gatti
Oscar De La Hoya
Carlos Baldmoir
Jesus Chavez
DeMarcus Corley
Zab Judah
Diego Corrales
Sharmba Mitchell
Emanuel Augustus
Carlos Hernandez
Henry Bruseles
Victoriano Sosa

It's really hard to choose which one is the best.

 

De La Hoya. Didn't look shot to me and then there's the fact that he was much bigger than Floyd or any of his other opponents.

 

Not really, I'm pretty sure you could easily exclude A LOT of those guys. Looks to me like you're just trying to show off Floyd's resume and make it out to be a bit better than it is.

Sosa, Bruseles, C. Hernandez, Augustus, Mitchell, Corley, Chavez, Baldomir, N'Dou, Pep, don't even deserve consideration.

 

JL Castillo by far. He was at his peak. Corrales was severely weight drained and facing a long prison sentence (physically and mentally ill-prepared, but he got payed). Oscar was/is a really a promoter, he's not the was he was in his hey-day, just a paycheck for an opponent. Zab was coming off a loss and a fake Champion. How can Judah retain his world title After losing to the great Carlos Baldomir. IBF crap. Genaro was a good win.
