    No. Thats just fanboy stuff. I saw that fight and was rooting for Floyd. Castillo beat him. No question.

    But, I will say that it would not be as easy for Hearns as is being stated in this thread. Its easy to envision Hearns blasting out anybody, until you see him lose. Then his weaknesses are painfully obvious. Hearns wouldn't connect with Floyd with ease at all. In fact, if Floyd were a bigger puncher, I'd go with Floyd against Tommy. But, since that is not the case, Tommy has to be the favorite against Floyd. Yes, prolly a KO, but not with ease.

      lol, replay the fight again. Trust me, castillo lost easily.

      Yeah, Hearns gets a headstart though because he fought in the 80's everything was obviously so much better back then.

      It'd be a close match no doubt.

        IMO Castillo won the first fight. Nevertheless, the point is moot cause Floyd officially won the fight. The point of bringing up Castillo is a matter of style. The only fight Floyd could be said to have lost was against a Duran style fighting Mexican (although Duran wasn't "Mexican"..u get the point). Castillo was a ruff customer but nowhere in the same class as Roberto Duran. Floyd loses to Duran with certainty. No contest.

          The fight was easy for Floyd.. You've clearly scored the fight based on the crowd and based on ineffective aggressiveness.

          The only "Close" fight there has been is Floyd vs ODLH at 154 using 10oz gloves, and he still won.

          That was because DLH was able to put his size of Floyd and force it to him.

          Floyd boxes rings around Duran.

            Trust you? As if this thread is not enough, you have:

            1. Posted a ranking with Lennox Lewis behind Cleveland Williams
            2. Floyd fighting at 106
            3. Zab Judah all time underrated

            What else should we trust you on?

                What?? ODLH had a couple decent rounds and then turned old right before our eyes. ODLH was in fact way past his prime before Floyd took that low hanging fruit. Yes ODLH was his finest victory, but all that says is just how low the general quality of Floyd's victories have been.

                  Are you serious?

                  It was a split decision win for Floyd.

                  He didn't turn old, floyd figured him out

                  and he fought at his own comfortable weight and using the 10oz gloves, and gave mayweather pillows.

                  ODLH had the advatanges, not Floyd.

                  ODLH is of low quality? are you serious?

                    Wait. Zab is now regarded as underrated. But there was a time when he was considered boxing gold. That is, until he met Kostya Tszyu, who exposed him brutally.

                      1. From? Where was Floyd in their all time ratings in 1997?
                      2. You list golden gloves under pro record, lol
                      3. Widely regarded as underrated? That's an argument?
