Ironically Mayweather made a great pro wrestler. His work with Big Show back in 2008 was brilliant. He had everything today's current pro wrestlers lack- real charisma and personality. He was a fantastic heel.
Pro wrestling is wonderful to watch when you get past the "this is fake" nonsense. Enjoy it like you would a live musical...only with actual bumps and brutality.
I prefer pro wrestling over MMA, without a doubt.
No one ever mentions Floyd's fight with Victoriano Sosa.
And Floyd did beat Castillo the first time. He won the first 5 rounds clearly. There's no way Castillo won 7 of the last 7 rounds. Lederman's scorecard was an absolute joke- he gave Castillo rounds 3, 5, 10 and 11 when they were clearly Floyd's.
I wasn't aware of such a thread but then again, I'm not on here every day so....
'Like I said before', I just made the poll because of what Kellerman said about the best of the era.
Most would think that the matter was settled with the H2H fight but I just don't accept that because Floyd was suspected of blood doping and Pacquiao was injured.
With the thread, I confirmed that I am in the majority of opinions on the fights results and that's all I wanted to know.
Ironically Kellerman scored the Castillo fight to Mayweather, 115-111. http://a.espncdn.com/boxing/columns/kellerman_max/1373403.html
And you have to take into account the bias. A lot of people will vote that Castillo won simply because they don't like Floyd. Same for the contrary, so a poll on a boxing forum (especially this one which is full of emotions) isn't the best way to judge a fight. If you took the same poll but with Mayweather vs Maidana 1, the votes would laughably be in favour of Maidana.
Without using Lederman's terrible scorecard, which rounds did Castillo actually win?
He's not considered exciting in the ring but Ward is the one guy making me excited about boxing this year. 2016 is looking dim but he may actually save it from being a dud...which is completely the opposite thing he's done over the past 2 years. I'm rooting for him (and Kovalev, really).
