    Come on, I like Floyd too but every fighter has to have a performance in their career which could be defined as the worst. Whether it's the injury in the Castillo fight, or perceived size disadvantage against Cotto and De La Hoya, or the fact he touched down a glove against Judah (which the ref missed).. It is possible to determine a "worst performance" if you allow yourself to. Floyd's only human and humans are fallible.

      Floyd hasnt really had a bad night he is always near his best form , the closet in the book was with an injury against Castillo but he did the right thing and rematched clearing that up , for me personally I didnt like the Baldimir fight .

        Your looking for faults and its hard to criticize good wins and find faults with the actual boxing , and when it takes 40 minutes to win you want to dissect a rough spot when fights are fought in hills and dales , valleys and troughs and in that , every fighter has moments they look pressured or flusted but your asking for his worst performance , I dont think Floyd has one , he only has varied opponents which took different tactics to win .

        If it were a horse race your answer is in a stop watch but boxing has only opinions .

          Yeah, wow just saw that one again. Didn't remember how one-sided that round was. That was almost a 10-8 round to Floyd because Cotto didn't hardly land any punches. And he nearly dropped him too. Great round for Floyd.

                lol He looked great in all of those fights minus the Castillo bout where he was fighting off an injury as well as a relentless opponent in front of him. Those other fights were tough (for Mayweather's standards) but he still left no doubt he was their superior. I guess you can give Zab, Oscar, and Cotto 3-4 rounds in all of those fights which aren't his usual complete dominations, but I still don't think he looked bad in any of those fights. So I guess the obvious answer would be Castillo 1, given the circumstances.

                    Thought a fighter of his skill shouldn't have had the difficulty with Judah that he did and was a bit passive against De La Hoya. In saying that, I don't think he dropped more than 3 rounds in either fight, which tells you a little something about what his skill level is like. Can't say too much about the Castillo fight - I only had him by a point - as he was just in a tough fight with a big and legit champion - it happens.
