What If Floyd had (official) lost the Castillo fight...

[bojangles1987]

He wouldn't have the 0, but I doubt it would have changed anything. He would have fought the rematch, won, and everything would have been the same after. Floyd was always motivated by money, the 0 didn't create that. Listen to the HBO crew during that first Castillo fight, they were talking about how all Floyd wanted to talk about was money and fame during pre-fight interviews.

He basically would have been in the same position after the Castillo rematch.

How many random drug tests did he take to do all of that?


I'm only curious because I'd like to know if the playing field was, you know,

"fair".

Just answer the question.

How many of those titles in those divisions were won with random drug testing?

I just want to be clear that everything, was "fair".

Seriously, this is boxing, we wouldn't want anyone to have an unfair advantage,

would we?

...would he after that be a more risky fighter? Floyd is scared of losing his undefeated record but if he lost the 0 back then could you imagine him not givin a **** anymore and fighting guys like Cotto, Margarito, Pacman (without demanding OST) and to trust his skills and take some rists?

What do you guys think what would happened to Floyd after being defeated so early in his career back then?

well, I don't think anything would've happened...Arum would've made sure there was a rematch, and then we know what that outcome more than likely would've been (again). Floyd would've disputed the loss and still said he's undefeated...guaranteed, nothing would've changed. Maybe you would've created a thread saying, "What if floyd had (officially) won the Castillo fight: would he have faced fighters X, Y, and Z because he may have been more confident?"
For all we know, he could've been a helluva lot more cautious. But maybe you're on to something...I dunno, it's all hypothetical anyway.
