    Who has a better case of winning?

    I saw a thread similar this, but with different fights/fighters.

    Who has a better case of winning:

    Jose Luis Castillo over Mayweather I or

    Marquez over Pacquiao I and/or II
    13
    Jose Luis Castillo over Floyd Mayweather I
    53.85%
    7
    Juan Manuel Marquez over Manny Pacquiao I and/or II
    46.15%

      I second that.

      It's easily Castillo, I think even Mayweather fans would agree to that.

          Just based on the reaction from the HBO commentators. And Floyd is one of HBO's "chosen ones".

          The Pacquiao and Marquez fights were razor-thin decisions that could have gone either way. If Marquez won, an equal amount of people would have said Pacquiao should have won it.

          In fights that close, it almost seems better to lose. The fans will sympathize and it makes the other guy look like the thief who stole your win, lol.

              Probably Castillo but Floyd beat Castillo clearly the 2nd time

              Pacquiao couldn't get it done clearly in two tries

              In the words of Jigga "Flame on"
