Anyone can be beat and Floyd isn't gonna retire undefeated in my honest opinion, but using Castillo and Oscar as examples don't hold much weight because Floyd is bigger now, he's physically stronger too. I don't think I'm ever gonna see Floyd get pushed around the ring the way Castillo did and in many instances Oscar.

How come every time people mention the first May/Castillo fight, they never mention the fact that Mayweather was injured? considering this it was a hell of a performance on his part, and a 100% Mayweather schooled Castillo in the rematch no problem. DLH did okay, specially that one round he actually used his jab, but he still clearly lost.
My opinion is still the same, a solid stiff jab is a major key in keeping Mayweather from taking total control of a fight.

I'm not guaranteeing Castillo would beat this Mayweather, but I know he would do better than in the rematch, which people overblow as if Mayweather whitewashed him.

The Mayweather of today would stop Castillio.
Floyd moved up in weight to fight Castillio who was stronger than Floyd at the time, which made Floyd have to box and move.
Mayweather now is bigger, stronger, and punches much harder.
He would fight Castillio inside instead of outside.
Floyd wouldn't have to move as much now.
I feel that the Mayweather of today would punish Castillio

Originally posted by ChiTown2Diego View PostI hear you bro but it doesn't matter if he was injured or not because he showed up to fight. If you step up into that ring you're 100%. No excuses. I'm a Mayweather fan but if I'm going to be honest he got beat that night.

Just my opinion. In general, the whole blueprint thing is a mute point with Mayweather and elite fighters in general, for the most part. If you are good enough at your style, it doesn't matter how the other guy fights you will force your fight on him.
