You learn from losses don't you? PAC fought Hatton after losing to Floyd. Surely Hatton would learn from losing to TBE? If you can't learn from losing to Floyd who can you learn from losing to?
Barrera was coming off a long winning streak. Floyd has never beat someone who beat PAC.
Floyd never fought and beat Morales, Bradley and even jmm legitimately.
Think about that
You come up with the dumbest of things its unbelievable, whats a guy gunna learn from being beaten while at his peak suffering his first loss to getting a coke habit thinking of suicide and losing his family, them getting a new trainer fighting a hand picked bum who nearly beat him ,,,,, man I could not be bothered finishing the difference in the two Hattons. You wanna debate me on common opponents start the thread I will gladly tear you up.
Your not all there are you ?
As far as Castilo goes the guy is allowed his opinion wtf is the matter with you people, Ive never seen such a bunch of I don't even know what you lot are debate and argue about such trivial things, one guy says Floyd is TBE the next guy says NO he isn't,,,, who gives a fck it don't mean nothing its just opinions.
Pac fought these guys so soon after losses, bad performances and at catchweights
Lmfaoooooo :rofl:
TBE is the one who fought 12 consecutive champions and WON :usa:

Location, Location, Location yours precisely....:buttkick:
Credit where it’s due. But PRIME? Is that even debatable?
And I even said he’s tbe, what could get better than that?? Lmao!
Pac beat all common opponents more dominantly.
So it wouldn't be so outrageous to say Pac stops Castillo in 4 rounds and Castillo would say Pac is best in history

Fighters tend to not be quite as flattering when talking about fighters who blasted them out. Also styles make fights. Castillo at 135 would have been a handful for Pacquaio just as he was for Mayweather whom I think most reasonable and objective judges had him 1-1 with about 12-12 in rounds head to head.
Castillo probably had more stylistic problems with Casamayor who led him most of the way until Castillo closed the gap with his size to probably deserve maybe a draw.
Boxing isn't just as simple as looking on the paper. Castillo was stopped twice by Javier Jauregui (r.i.p) and in a couple of rounds by Cesar Soto yet he fought on equal and better terms with Mayweather, Johnston, Corrales, Casamayor across 7 big fights.

You're just subconsciously repeating the haters rhetoric.
I challenge you or anyone on this forum to :
Name ONE black athlete, who was the clear front-runner of their respective sport, that was not vilified by America.
Only after such athlete falls from grace will a hater lose their motivation.
This is an indisputable fact. And please do a quick Google search before you name Ali/Jordan. Thanks.
I'm not going to bother doing that because I don't disagree with you on that point and the only sport I watch or know anything about is boxing.
I'm merely saying that the reason Floyd is so hated isn't just racism, it's not even majority racism. White people's hatred of Ali was absolute racism, they called him unpatriotic and a draft dodger for being a muslim and for being proud to be black, refusing to let white people dictate who he was.
But Ali was a good person and history reflects that. Floyd is a piece of sh it and everyone knows it. Before I got into boxing I disliked Floyd for being an abuser, it clouded my judgment of his boxing ability.
Most people dislike him as a person, for some of those people racism factors into it unconsciously or consciously, but to say everyone that hates him is racist or hating him makes you racist is to ignore what a pos he is.
...Or a jealous hater.
Which one are you?Sad and narrow world-view you have there. Please abandon that racial inferiority complex of yours, and try to get some pleasure out of life.
Lol. It's true, as a fan, I root against GGG and LOMA. Was happy when (and how) Ward beat Kovalev. Prefer Wilder over Joshua since I have to choose (that's some deep rooted **** right there).
My stance is : it is what it is. Just be open with it and be man enough to deal with the consequences. I can respect that more than pretending racism doesn't exist.
And the reasons you gave for not liking Floyd are the same reasons given for not liking Ali. Same hater shlt. Different era.
Ok, well by the same token you suggest people dislike Mayweather I think you are a racist based on who you actively root against. That's three fighters you no doubt have a strong dislike for. Just be open with it and stop pretending it doesn't exist.
They aren't "reasons". Floyd is a convicted woman beater that spent time inside because of it. His own son said he's a coward and when he opens his mouth he tends to say stupid things. I, like many others that dislike Floyd's personality point to my favorite active boxer as Crawford, among my all-time favorites are Hagler, Too Sharp, Toney, Saad Muhammad, Holyfield to name just a few. You, no doubt don't like ANY white fighter. Think about that.
Yeah he’s not exactly easy to root for given his history and attitude. He markets himself on being unlikable and guys like him cry when you don’t like him and accuse of racism. I’m sure dude hates Lomachenko, GGG too and last I checked they are humble, respectful fighters who don’t treat their families like **** and beat women. But if you say he’s racist he’ll probably cry and say how dare you.

Is it hard for you to accept that most people hate Floyd's guts because he's a trash person, and that's why they can't be objective or praise him?
Doesn't mean they're racist or jealous of his success, that just doesn't add up because people love all the other successful black, brown, yellow etc. fighters.

Typical of boxers to prop up their own wins. Castillo making himself look better. It's natural.
That's what I was thinking also.
A lot like the fighters claiming that Ernie Shavers was the hardest hitting HW. The fighters saying that are invariably fighters who beat Ernie.

You're going to act like the majority of Floyd detractors on this very site are not racist or just natural born haters jealous of others success?
Lol. Ok. We can pretend all you want, doesn't make it true.

I don’t think jmm was as badly robbed as you imply otherwise pac wouldn’t be favourite in all rematches. If jmm performed as good as he did against pac to other opponents he might be considered as great as pac now.
Castillo was robbed by Floyd and said Floyd was best also.
So not sure what your beef is.?
I was at all the fights. Spoke to fans, media, fighters, trainers etc; before and after them.
Marquez was a very narrow underdog in fight II. He was 34, which was consider old for a 130-pounder. I think the majority of press at the fight had Marquez up, the online press was about even perhaps slightly Marquez. I don't think this is considered a bad robbery but Marquez probably deserved a decision. I spoke to people in Pacquaio's camp that felt he probably didn't deserve the win.
Fight III happened almost four years later. Marquez was now 38 and going back up to welterweight where he'd looked like **** previously. This was a robbery. Very few people felt Pacquaio won. Media and especially fans even Pacquaio fans. Overtime fanboys have just accepted it as "fair".
Fight IV Marquez was pushing 40 and people knew he needed a KO to win but the odds were a lot tighter this time. Obviously a 40 year old can get old anytime. Obviously we know what happened here. Not even the judges could ruin it.
Yes, I agree Castillo was robbed vs. Floyd. I felt he deserved a win by 115-111 or 8-4 in rounds. I can see a round closer. I felt the re-match was 8-4 the other way with the possibility it was a round closer. IMO they fought evenly across 24 rounds.
