    Mayweather's only arguable defeat, nobody else that can utilize that kind of infighting around that weight class.

        Arum said. "It's like talking to the wall. I said 'Fight Stevie Johnston.' Floyd said, 'I don't want to fight him. He's a bum.' " then he fought phillip ndou and victoriano sosa....lol
        I agree.

        Floyd rematched a guy you thought he lost to. What a coward.

          Thank God for IronDan. He calls it how it is; he thought Floyd edged it; yet he could see it go the other way.

            Yep.

            Especially the first two.

                Floyd won the first 5 rounds easily by a great margain and anybody that would give Castillo any of the 1st 5 rounds shouldn't be judging boxing, maybe the 5th could've been a 10-10 round if you like the aggressor kind of judge, but that's about it.
                I had Floyd winning the 9th and 10th rather easily, beautiful boxing and beautiful leaping left hook. most of the rest of the rounds could've gone either way, I think Castillo won the 6-7 and 11, but 8 and 12 were very close.

                I had it 7-4-1 for Floyd after watching the fight 3 times on mute and disregarding Ledermann's ****ty score cards and CONpubox numbers, I have no problem with anybody scoring it 7-5 for Floyd or even 6-5-1 for Floyd. A draw would've been extremely unfair to Floyd but some judges would tend to give more rounds to the champion for no reason if the fight is close. But actually saying that Castillo won the fight is just ridicioulus and even daring to say that Castillo won it clearly is just some bull**** coming from an emotional Mexican or Phillipino fan.

                  I thought that one wasn't as close as the first two which were razor close.

                  Still close though. But I thought Marquez deserved the third one.

                    Had Castillo narrowly winning last time i watched it. Felt Castillo could've done more toward the championship rounds to secure the win.

                    Nothing clear about the outcome though, it warranted a rematch.

                      Would you call it a robbery?
