    Which fight was closer: PBF v Castillo or Broner v Ponce De Leon?

    Mayweather was 24 years old when he fought and beat Castillo in his 28th pro fight.

    Broner was 20 years old when he fought and beat De Leon in his 2Oth pro fight.

    Which fight was a closer fight?

    It's not about which was closer, they both lost in each of those fights. Where's the poll?

      Can't decide.

      Both were very close fighters that could have gone either way IMO.

          both were toss up fights but mayweather shut out castillo in the rematch..........

          i think broner would ko pounce or handily beat him in the rematch

            Exactly how I feel.

            But Broner vs Ponce gets a lot more discussion than it should. Its got to be the most highly talked about boring uneventful fights in recent memory. Kudos to whoever found the time to rewatch that borefest.

              Broner-De Leon was closer and those 2 fights cannot and should not EVER be compared. Floyd moved up 2 fight the bigger Castillo for the lineal title.. Broner was fighting a De Leon who was moving up in weight

                they were about euqally as close. but castillo/mayweather is the better fight and it meant a whole lot more. i dont think there is any comparison in that regards

                  But I wasn't comparing them just asking which fight was closer
