    Whose fought the best vs Mayweather in his career? I think it was Golden Boy, oscar de la hoya, he was even the only boxer to win a judges score in his favour against mayweather.

    for how limited he is maidana put in a great showing.

    judah did very well and showed possible ways to beat floyd.

    cotto gave a GREAT competitive fight for pretty much 12 rounds (though he lost most)

    Castillo, Maidana, Oscar and Cotto. ---> insert more names including Zab Judah ----> then Alverez among others, and then Pacquaio ----> the rest.

    Castillo (just shaded it in my eyes) has to be the obvious one. Oscar did great for the first half but couldn't keep it going - or rather, wasn't allowed to. Maidana did surprisingly well considering how crude he can be

    Castillo and Oscar. Maidana and Cotto fought well enough to make Floyd work and think a lot more than he usually has to, and did in beating Canelo and Manny, but Maidana and Cotto were still clearly outboxed and outlanded and didn't deserve to win as many rounds as they did, and their losses shouldn't be seen as controversial or close.

    Easily Castillo. Only decision of his career that deserved the controversy. Don't think DLH was nearly as close as the judges had it. Maidana 1 was close but clear.

    Floyd didn't exacly light him up and Pac won 4 rounds...shoulder injury or not.

    Castillo 1 by far. It's the only fight in Floyd's career that is disputable. I personally had Floyd winning by 1 point but I know that Castillo has a good case for winning it by the same margin.
