      Floyd received a boxing lesson and was in survival mode

        Castillo won pretty clearly.....

        this thread gets made every two weeks and it always ends with Castillo winning the poll

        Floyd's die hard fans are going to come in spam and say

        -Floyd had a shoulder injury
        -It was a close fight that Floyd won
        -Floyd beat him in the rematch which proved the beating Floyd took in the first fight didn't actually happen.

          First time I watched it (live), I agreed that Castillo got robbed.

          Watched it a year ago and scored it for Floyd.

          Do we really need to have this thread every two weeks?

            I just chalk it up to Castillo's own (translated) quote about the scoring during the post fight interview: "...it was a complicated fight.."

              So what if Floyd lost, he's only human. Nobody can be perfect. Losing is a part of life.

                Listen, I love Castillo, and I really don't care for Floyd. But it was a close fight that could have gone either way. I scored it for Castillo but I could see Floyd winning.

                  Gotta agree with MVOLT on this one:

                  "Floyd's die hard fans are going to come in spam and say

                  -Floyd had a shoulder injury
                  -It was a close fight that Floyd won
                  -Floyd beat him in the rematch which proved the beating Floyd took in the first fight didn't actually happen."

                    Well ok. So Floyd lost a fight. Does that disqualify him from being the GOAT?
