Ending the Myth of Castillo and Mayweather Jr.
Why does everybody keep bringing up the Castillo fight when they KNOW he had a torn rotator cuff. I say he beats Duran. Then the dumbasses say "well look at what Castillo did" He had ONE ARM retards. What did castillo do i the re-match? Get his head boxed off his shoulders. SO STOP THAT CASTILLO-DURAN-MARGARITO COMPARISON SHIT. "Repeated mantra among “experts” is that the way to beat Mayweather (who, ironically, has never been beaten) is to pressure him a la Jose Luis Castillo. It is well documented that many feel that Castillo should have won his first fight with Mayweather (though 3 judges saw it differently) and point to this as the blueprint for Mayweather’s fistic Waterloo. More importantly, Hatton’s fans point to the fact that while Mayweather went the distance with Castillo (twice), Hatton crushed him in four. Mayweather-Castillo I has served as a flashpoint of controversy between Mayweather’s fans and those who insist that the pound-for-pound champ should have taken a loss that night. The outcry following the match prompted Floyd to call for an immediate rematch, which was another unanimous decision, by an even wider margin that before. These facts are not up for dispute. While fans constantly point to Mayweather-Castillo I as the Rosetta Stone of a Mayweather defeat, few care to admit (or are even aware) that Mayweather fought Castillo with a torn rotator cuff that night and still managed to win a wide-margin unanimous decision. The question that has not often been asked is this: If Castillo possessed the tools to defeat Mayweather so resoundingly as alleged, why was he not able to summon the same performance in the second match? Further, why was he beaten even more convincingly in the rematch? Indeed it may be that Castillo’s performance in the first fight was impressive precisely because Mayweather was injured and the reason that the effort he turned against a healthy Mayweather seemed nothing more than pedestrian."

How in Gods name could Duran beat FLoyd.
And he think he was frustrated against Leonard. He wouldve quit earlier vs. Mayweather.

Mayweather Jr: " I don't beat my opponents, they beat themselves"
"I dont beat my opponent, they beat themselves". What are you guys thoughts on what this means. I interpret it as I allow my opponent to make all the mistakes and I just capitalize on them. I mentioned this to someone before that the guy is about the only boxer alive that beats his opponents with his brain. His fists are secondary.

What fighter could Floyd have fought July 19th instead of JMM?
Key Notes- They have to be a fighter that is a tune up that HBO would put on PPV. July 19th was the original date. So Floyd found his opponent before that day and signed. Later the fight was moved to September. So lets hear some names fellas.

Is it safe to say that we will see the best Floyd Mayweather ever May 1st?
This is right here. This is the biggest fight of his career and its on the big stage. Hes fighting a guy who he can hit at will. I think Floyd for the first time in his career brings out his A game.

Should Calzaghe come out of retirement to build up his legacy?
Poll coming. The 168 and even 175 Pound division has real good competition.

Why are people acting like Floyd hasnt been calling out Shane his whole career?
Roger said Floyd wanted Shane when he was only in his 9th pro fight and Roger said he would beat Oscar and Shane. Floyd wanted him at 135 Pounds. Mosley jumped two divsions. Floyd moved up through the weight classes chasing a Oscar and Mosley fight. Mosley had a chance to fight him i 2006 but he declined. Mosley never wanted Floyd until Mosley became desperate for Paydays and Floyd became a mega star.

If Floyd pulls out..Everyone should be happy.
Because now he doesnt have to fight a 38 year old. With a 16 Month layoff. Remember all those threads about Shane being old and shot and the layoff. Well if Floyd pulls out you guys should applaud him for not fighting an old fighter. He can just wait for the Pac-Clottey winner right? :drive:

If 2 Pounds means nothing...then Why are people mad Floyd was 146?
Cotto had to weigh 145 Pounds and apparently the 2 pounds didnt mean anything. So I ask. Why the fuss about Floyd weighing 146 I mean the 2 Pounds meant nothing right? STANDARDS STANDARDS

Khan and Hatton Make Calzaghe look like a complete JOKE.
Hatton fought Kosta, Pac Malignagii, Mayweather and Collazo. Khan is set to fight JMM, Judah, Maidiana and Mayweather. Calzaghe fought Hopkins and Jones then retired calling himself a legend killer.
