    Your title says which WIN not performance. Winning against a better opposition is more impressive.

    My guess is that you didn't get the reaction you were hoping for (i.e. knees down, open zipper on Floyd) and decided to back track.

          When I hear people say he has no guts or he's a coward. Or other crazy nonsense of that nature. I ask that they watch that fight. To gut it out with JLC(who was a bonified beast when they met up), injured, and then do and immediate rematch and dominate. I dont know very many fighters of this day and age that would do such. Sure plenty say they would, but none have readily done it like Floyd did. I wish he would fight more often as every one else does. But even if he only fights once a year, to me it doesnt take away what this guy does when he's in the ring.
          Absolutely man. The pace they fought at was insane and I KNEW someone was going to get knocked out, it just wasn't any other outcome possible. I mean, here we have Chico basically done and found a way to actually stop Castillo. It was just unbelievable to say the least. That was the type of fight where you KNEW neither guy would ever be the same. They both dissed out and took so much punishment man. I mean, there wasn't a moment where we didn't get action from those guys. On another note, I remember when I read at the bottom of the screen of ESPN when they said Chico died, sad moment man. I miss that guy.

          Glad we could rap a bit, sir.

            He went on to be world champ. He beat some good fighters man. Smoke Gainer, Manfredy, Casamayor, PoPo Freitas, JLC. I'm not sure if that is a hall of fame career, but he had some success after he lost to Floyd Jr., let's be real now.

            that dude=footwork. they just play for different teams.

                      Man, floyd is the best skilled fighter right now, bar none and I think he has all the tools to beat my idol pacquiao but until the fight happens, nobody's going to believe.

                      I tell people here in our country to watch floyd's fights first before they say that pac easily beat mayweather.
                      True indeed OG Kadyo. I chalk the mouthpiece thing up to one of two things. Boxing IQ, or ill-fitment. I cant say for sure which one either, but I would feel safe going with either one. I dont see Pac vs. May as a easy fight for either one. The speed, power, and agility of Pac will be difficult for anybody(including Floyd IMHO). But Floyd's ring IQ, speed, timing, and deceptive pop, and presicion will be difficult for anybody(including Manny) as well. For me, and I said this in the Floyd/Shane fight when alot of people on here where predicting Shane to beat Floyd. The ultimate difference in those who face Floyd, is this: They cannot operate without instructions from the corner; Floyd can and will. This is(If this fight ever happens)is the real difference maker to me. They are both great fighters/Boxers. I think everybody on this forum can atleast agree to that.
