    You can thank his father for the southpaw business. He started that, and early in his career, too. Floyd had a fight against a guy, not even a fight he was really in any danger of losing, and Senior decided afterwards that he didn't want his son fighting southpaws.

    Which is why it's very curious that here we are ten years later and he's accusing certainly the best active southpaw of using steroids. It's convenient.

          When you watch the fight, turn off the HBO commentary - they've always been bias, watch the Mayweather-Chavez fight and you'll laugh at how blatant they are, Mayweather was landing vicious uppercuts and they start ranting on about how this is how you beat a boxer when Chavez was only landing a few good shots before retiring on the stool due to the punishment he was taking. It was a close fight that could've gone either way, should've been a SD.

            Well said, mate.

            It's the same for many other fights with those HBO lackey commentators. They were anti-Mayweather big time for this fight.

              most people have floyd winning 4 out of the first 5 rounds of that fight thats why i don't understand how can some one say castillo got robbed.for you to think floyd lost that fight that means you believe that he didn't win a round after round 4 or 5 and that to me is crazy

                So this is the reason, Floyd won't Pac. Floyd will never fight Pacman.

                  floyd just lost that fight,even if he was injured going in,it was his choice to fight and risk losing,this whole undefeated claims are nonsense,a ****** marketing tool and thing to boost and calm his ego.

                  if floyd escapes jail (i imagine by out of court setllements from floyd and changed stories from all victims)i think he has 2 legit option,fight pac,or retire.

                  people will not let him live his life if he does not fight pac,and theres so much money on the line,you would think money mayweather would have jumped at the chance to fight!.

                  if you think about it,floyds only other half credible options are martinez,williams and maybe khan.(although it wouldnt shock me if he fought raw guys like berto or aleverez)

                  martinez and williams are both bigger stronger difficult guys to fight,khan is more textbook and taller/rangier than pac,with all these fights earning him less money than fighting manny.

                    Close fight, and i recommend the blitz video posted by daggum....it actually makes me believe Floyd won it even more. He actually gives rd 10 and 11 to Castillo (i think)......both rds that Floyd won imo..........

                    Hard to win a fight when you lose 5 of the first 6 rds.....and the judges were deceived by Mayweather's constant jab in scoring it so wide IMO. The fight should have been closer, but the earlyr rds and some brilliant clean accurate stuff in rds 10 and 11 seal the deal for Floyd.

                    Close fight...........

                      It could have gone either way, but IMO Floyd won more rounds.
