    I think Floyd was at his best too at 130.

    Idk. He's shown great ability to overcome adversity. Fought Castillo with a torn cuff and Hernandez with broken hands. Fought like a warrior each time.

    Kind of a pointless thread. Haters won't change their minds and they will minimize his accomplishments and the nut huggers over inflate his record.

    WTF?seriously some people are blind of hatred.done little in last 13yrs to warrant this praise?have two decent wins etc.. And even those are not legit.WTF??

    Seriously can't say anything more.haters sound almost that Floyd is not even HOF level.

    There are fighters who i "hate" Calzaghe,Cotto etc.. But you have to be ret@rd to deny their greatness.

    According to haters NOBODY is any good in boxing.and only Mayweather,Pacquaio and Hopkins are bordeline HOF fighters and half good,but still totally overrated bums..

    I understand why many posters write only in classic forum.

    I think Castillo won it clearly. Floyd should have got the loss. There was nothing to overcome since he was given the bogus win.

    If he's dragged into the trenches and thrashes it out, he's over-rated and would've been battered by Margarito or Williams or whoever else he didn't fight, if he comes out unscathed he fought a plodder/inexperienced/drained/shot fighter :lol:

    he won the second too, so whether the first was bogus or not he still got the redemption in the second match.

    Funny, it seems very hard for anyone to say he redeemed himself. :think

    He did lose a close fight to Castillo but won the rematch so no problem, but I think he's not 'undefeated' but it's not something I've ever defended him on being.

    Mayweather has never faced adversity remember when maidana blooded him and he was having a fit?

    He kept looking at the ref

    Remember when Cotto bloodied his nose up and he was smiling at the arena camera then nearly dropped miguel in round 12?

    Don't bother. You are watching circuit boards crack. There are only so many defensive mechanisms haters can go through before they emotionally crack.

    I just don't understand how somebody can be so blind to the logic they are using :lol: I am as much a Pacquiao fan as a Mayweather fan but the statements that come out from some of the Pacquiao disciples are bizarre.
