I had Mayweather winning in a very close fight. Floyd won like the first 4 or 5 rounds from what I remember. I don't mind people saying Castillo won, but it was no robbery.
BTW this won't accomplish anything cuz people who dislike Floyd and didn't even see the fight will vote for Castillo. Whatever though...

I concur it was a controversial decision not a robbery. Anyone who says otherwise is a bit delusional. I had Floyd winning myself but all debate SHOULD have been ended with the second fight.

There's OBVIOUSLY now alot more Floyd fans on this site. As Castillo normally ALWAYS wins when this question is asked.

VERY close fight. But I felt Castillo won the fight (this was before I started to dislike Floyd, so I had no bias back then.) The punch stats for that fight are huge for Castillo. I know those arent always great to judge a fight on, but if you watch the fight and see the numbers, it's hard to see how Floyd wins. But the thing that sort of takes away from this fight is that Floyd dominated Castillo in the rematch. I can see if Floyd would have just won the first fight and moved on without giving Castillio another shot. Then those of us who felt Floyd lost the first fight would have an argument. But Floyd fought and whipped him bad the second time around (even though the cards were closer then the first fight. WTF?!?) The only reason it gets brought up is because people hate to see Floyd retire unbeaten since most ringside people and most of us thought Floyd should have lost the first time. That has to be the only thing. They want the Mayweather loss on his record. But as much as I dislike FLoyd, he was a man and rematched the person who many thought beat him the first time, and easily beat him again. So That should answer why these threads come up so much. Floyd could have a loss, but then he would have come back and won like he did in the rematch with no problem. So unless all we care about anymore is an unbeatn record. By the way, how many top 10 greats have loses on their records? That should show you right there how little being unbeaten effects your all time ranking. THe best fighters lose, but it was against the very best of their time, when the sport was more about fighting the best then it is just playing it safe and making money. If this doesnt make sense I have had wayyyyyyyyyyy too much to drink tonight!!!!!!!!!

What Happened in the rematch doesn't matter. What does matter is that Floyd should have atleast 1 loss on his record.

Ive never seen the punchstats until this morning. Like you said if you watch the fight and then see the punchstats it's VERY hard to find Floyd as the winner. I had Castillo winning by atleast 2 points.

[Silencers]

Castillo won.

I don't know how Mayweather couldn've won from those punchstats.

[Tuggers1986]

There's no way Floyd won that fight.

But somehow Floyd has just got another vote on this poll even though the person who voted for him didn't say why.

Probably another 15 year old fan boy who has never even seen the fight.

[Silencers]

Yup. Israel won, no doubt.

[Tuggers1986]

Yup. Israel won, no doubt.

Hahahahaha.

Damn right he did.

Israel Castillo is a boxing legend.
