    Yeah, but that still made him competitive with him.

      Augustus always makes fights entertaining but why would the fight be at 135 if it was a tune up for a Corrales fight at 130?

        Because Floyd didn't want to strain his body to make 130 so he perferred to take a fight where he didn't have to worry about weight, but yet can work on skills.

          Augustus won 1 or 2 rounds, it was an exciting fight but not what I'd call competitive. I think Judah won 3 out of the first 4, but that was about it. Oscar was somewhat competitive, I think Floyd still won 8-4. The Castillo fight was by far his toughest.

            Zab Judah was the 2nd closest I saw to beating Money. 3rd would be DLH, but after the 6th round the fight was over.....and it was all Money's win..

              Yea actually Oscar was a bit more competitive then I thot but i'm watchin some Floyd fights and I ask this because man is he schooling his opponents, like its an accomplishment to even land a shot on this guy.

                    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.
                    mayweather wasn't carrying de la hoya **** head, de la hoya is a bigger man with more power then mayweather ever felt and he wasn't too excited about getting hit by de la hoya

                      So now that we agree that De La Hoya was being carried, I completely forgot that people said Spadafora chipped up Mayweather
