    BESIDES Castillo, has anyone looked competitive against Mayweather JR

    I was having a discussion the other day with some friends about Floyd and they are those mainstream types that think Floyd could ko Tyson. But one put up a good point when they asked me who gave Mayweather any kind of comp in the ring. I shut them up after I said Castillo, but also conceded that I really havent seen anyone else do anything against Floyd besides Jose.

    The closest I could think of is Zab Judah. While ultimately dominated, for the first four rounds I thot Zab was gonna get the upset and return to form.

    I didnt think Oscar looked good because in my opinion I felt Floyd held back and was carrying him like Roy Jones carried Trinidad although he at least got some body shots in.

    This isnt a Floyd love thread, or a hate thread, or anything like that I simply want to know your opinions on this question and remember the title says BESIDES Castillo.

        Coz gayweather is a fckin-duckin *****-retired classless punk.

        He's more concerned with his 0 than with his honor.

        Talk about the guy who said he's better than Robinson yet he admitted he's a coward.

        And gayweather fans are even more ****** for falling for a coward.

        Although gayweather fans are ignoramus maximus anyway.

          He made Floyd fight but Floyd won every single round and was landing 7 or 8 punch combos in that fight, at no point was Floyd ever in trouble, Augustus didnt land much.

          Castillo, Oscar and Judah were competitive.

              Ummm Augustus landed a lot with Floyd. It was a war that Mayweather always had the upperhand, but it was sure a war and Mayweather calls it his toughest fight. That was at 135 by the way as a tune up for Corrales.

                Yea it was i think... Floyd looked great, he pounded the **** outta Augustus, I cant believe what punishment he was able to take. The corner finally came in to stop the fight. It was very entertaining.

                  Oscar was competitive. Judah was competitive early.

                    EH.... not really.... And if anything, he was able to land only because Floyd just kept opening up with all these barages. The fight wasnt even close, it was a one sided beat down for the most part but Augustus was just able to absorb all those punches and keep comin forward and land some decent shots.
