Those are the sort of slips ups that are believable. Not a simple but important form, for the most important fight of his guy's career.

That's why fans all around the world thought Pac won but of course the so called experts call it boxing not running.

Holding and gripping a football is not exactly the same as punching constantly and moving that arm in all sorts of angles and with full force.

1. Jose Luis Castillo I (2002): This is pretty much the only fight on Mayweather’s record that you could make a convincing argument he deserved to lose. Castillo’s reputation has taken such a battering in recent years from blowing off making weight and declining ring performances that many people have forgotten what a formidable fighter he was in his prime. When Mayweather fought Castillo he hadn’t lost in almost four years and had recently defeated the very excellent Stevie Johnston. Mayweather, unknown at the time, went into the bout with a badly injured left shoulder.
Mayweather used his footwork and razor sharp reflexes to keep Castillo largely at bay for the first five rounds until Castillo worked his way into the fight with a withering body assault and an assortment of flagrant fouls. Castillo lost a point in the eighth round for hitting on the break (he did this repeatedly throughout the bout). The always-awful Rick Drakulich struck again in the ninth round when he evened the score by taking a point away from Mayweather for using his elbows. The judges scored the bout 115-111 (twice) and 116-111 all for Mayweather, which was booed loudly by the pro-Mexican crowd.

April 30, 2015:
The second fight between Mayweather and Castillo wasn't as much about performance as it was a proving ground for the young champion as he started to make bigger and bigger waves in the sport.
Mayweather beat Castillo eight months earlier, but not without a lot of controversy about the final scores. Mayweather complained that he had a shoulder injury going into the fight, which prevented him from throwing many of his best combinations and punches over the course of 12 rounds.
He quickly accepted a rematch with Castillo, who was more physically imposing and almost 10 pounds heavier once they stepped in the ring.
Castillo did his best to bully the smaller man with hard shots throughout the fight, but this was the moment Mayweather really started to develop his elusive style that combined lateral movement and quick counter-punching combinations.
The fight didn't have many thrilling moments, but it was a victory Mayweather had to have after many believed he lost the first fight to Castillo. It would be nearly five years before another fight really pushed Mayweather.

One thing is for certain: The rugged Castillo gave Mayweather the most difficult test of his career to date by cutting off the ring with constant pressure, particularly to the body. But despite being outlanded 203 to 157, according to CompuBox, Mayweather proved his toughness by overcoming a left shoulder injury to stand and trade at times with Castillo, landing the cleaner shots.
Mayweather found himself in compromising positions against a relentless fighter who was able to dictate the pace and distance of the fight for lengthy stretches. But he never buckled mentally or physically in what proved to be an indispensable test of his intangibles.
Mayweather went on to quiet critics eight months later by winning a decision in the rematch that was closer on the scorecards, yet far more convincing.
