The first Castillo bout. Perhaps he wasn't at his best but gutted it out in the latter rounds. Particularly round 11, where he fought on the inside with Castillo and, in my opinion, got the better of him.
Beating Diego the way he did. He was brilliant that night. The constant knockdowns should how a aggresive motivated Floyd is very exciting. His fights against Baldomir, Jmm, De la Hoya, where boxing clinics and uneventful.
I am going with the Mayweather's win over Hatton. Hatton was undeafeated and dangerous. Hatton already had big wins over Tszyu and Castillo. In my opinion Mayweather overcame adversity as Hatton was really pushing Mayweather's limits to start the fight. Mayweather not only won, but provided a very exciting event.
So many fights... Yes Hatton comes to mind, Oscar comes to mind. They were both supposed to be the ones who beat Floyd, remember what people were saying BEFORE the fights, whatever they say afterwards you know it's tainted.
Diego was an hell of a win but Oscar, Hatton, Hernanderz, Castillo, Gatti, Baldomir, Judah, Marquez, Manfredy... Meh, Floyd has an hell of a resume and everyone expect Marquez was bigger than him and very live. Well Gatti was't so live but contrarily to what people try to make believe, Baldomir was VERY live and Floyd took pleasure dismantling him. Oh and btw, every single one of those guys were a champion.
I think his best performance was against De La Hoya, Mayweather TOYED with him, it broke him into the star he is now you know, he simply dominated the pace and he was the true clear indicator that De La Hoya was finished, Oscar couldn't phase him. the fight broke records, he fought with all disadvantages, more than any other time he fought yet he did superb, better than he did against Castillo..
you could say Corrales and probably even Hatton because those were 2 undefeated fighters but there is a lot of backround behind those fights that kind of creates arguments in those fights but in the De La Hoya fight he was the only one with disadvantages there, De La Hoya had everything he wanted to his liking but still got schooled by a MUCH smaller man, didn't even make the full 154 I think Floyd was 152 yo real **** here son Floyd over Oscar was impressive to me if you consider the odds he was stacked against, the marbles that was on the line, the "world was awaiting" and he delivered..
I used to discredit that whole fight even happening but only because I thought Floyd was out of the door, he's back though so I learned to respect that win, so much as to say it might be his most impressive win,
