You would have to extend the counterfactual beyond just the exact same fight taking place in a different country. Floyd would also be less likely to get away with his persistent fouling, primarily in the form of excessive holding, elbows and pushing the head down. The fight begins to look different then, with Floyd being forced to fight more on the inside.
    Excessive holding how? You referring to those two fights, or as a whole?

    Well in regards to Maidana fantasy fight are they both banned from fouls or just one of them? Maidana fouled more than Floyd did in that fight yet Floyd still won.

    As for Castillo, they both fouled and both got penalised fairly (one point each) in their first fight. So not seeing a bias there either.

    So, not really seeing your points at all there. Thats if we are talking those two fights specifically.

      I evidently need to summon up the motivation to watch those fights again. I'll leave it there. I would actually rather concede the point than have a protracted argument about Mayweather.
