    Castillo 1 wasn't a robbery but I feel Castillo could have gotten the decision.

    Maidana 1 was one of the biggest fake controversies in recent history. I wouldn't actually be surprised if Floyd totally phoned it in to set up that pointless rematch.

      Cotto did far better than Pacquiao.

      Pacquiao did about as good as Robert Guerrero apart from one decent shot landed.

        Oscar, Maidana and Pacquiao in that order.

        Oscar tired badly in rounds 9, 10, 11 which basically cost him the fight. He actually landed his best shot right at the end of 11 but clearly lost the round.

        Maidana did good in the early rounds but tired dramatically after 5. Going into round 9 Garcia told him 'you have 4 rounds to make history'... then Floyd clearly wins 9 and 10. He finished the fight pretty well but I don't think he did enough over 12 especially in hindsight. Maidana doing better than expected and the cut may have created an illusion watching it live.

        Pacquiao didn't come close, a minority of those who are in denial will insist he won but as time goes on and the disappointment settles down surely that minority will fade away.

          I agree, it was close in terms of rounds won, but Floyd was the clear winner. Also I feel for some reason that's Floyd made makes a use a softer pair of gloves so he could fight a more fan friendly fight to set up a rematch, idk might be giving Floyd to much credit, but it could have been something al or even Ellerbe set up

            Second, Maidana. Anyone who thinks Oscar beat Floyd is fucking brain dead. Same goes for Pac. Maidana lost the first fight and I don't care what anyone says, but there were a lot of close rounds, closer than the other two fights.

              I still say Maidana beat him but was robbed on the scorecards, never have I seen someone so dominant controlling all the action and dictating how the fight is fought yet they ignore all of that because Floyd is too valuable to put a loss on that record, replace that 0 with a 1 and nobody will give a **** about him...
              Goes to show how little people care for Floyd.

                I saw your explanation for not including Castillo but still I think he should have been included.

                If Floyd was to lose one fight it would be that one for sure. Close, either way type fight... Floyd never seized control down the stretch as he did with Oscar and Marcos which is why I thought those fights were clear wins compared to Castillo.

                  Golovkin (poster) would disagree with you on two of those fights.

                    Golovkin would be right to with the first Maidana fight and first Castillo fight, the rematches that he clearly won doesn't matter its blatantly obvious that the judges scoring those fights were taking the value of the fighter into consideration and not what was happening in the ring.

                      Why keep this silliness going. Every unbiased boxing fan knows both Castillo & Maidana already beat Mayweather & Oscar deserved a draw at least. Floyd should also have been DQ'd against Ortiz for that blatant ambush. Floyd's 0 is due to his NSAC/Vegas ties as much as his own abilities
