Mayweather vs Castillo appreciation thread: still a hot topic after 14 years

[El-blanco]

That was a tough round to score and I could see it going either way. I gave it to Castillo because he landed 5 hard shots and put some pressure on him. Floyd landed some good shots too, though.

10-9 Jose

49-46 Floyd

Round 3 10-9 Floyd. He jabbed him to death that round and Castillo did literally nothing until the last 30 seconds when he landed the best punch of the fight. I didn't feel that was good enough to win it though.

30-27 Floyd

I wouldn't mind Chavez -pea next

thats what i had in mind....im deciding between that fight....Hagler-SRL....srl vs hearns 2....Pac- vs Marquez 3......suggestions would be nice...trying to narrow it down

Any of those would be great.

Round 6 10 -9 Castillo

Pretty straight forward round I thought. Jose was ****ing away and landed some good shots.

Round 7 10-9 Castillo

I have no idea how Floyd didn't get dropped by that bomb Jose hit him with near the end.

67-66 Floyd

Im going to score this fight round by round and we can discuss which rounds you gave to which fighter

I was a fan of both at the time, I was a little upset when Castillo beat my boy "lil but bad" but it illustrated he was an elite lightweight and would remain one if not the best of his era for the next 5-6 years

This fight is very close and my score card changes with each viewing

fights like this made me a die hard fan...two elite fighters, contrasting styles, in their prime and hard to score

this fight wasnt controversial and could have been a draw or 7-5 either way was a just scorecard


this fight showed the worth of both fighters and hopefully one day el Temible makes the hall of fame....looking back he was one the best lightweight of the 2000s easily

**** you brother!!! Are you my brother from another mother????
I agree with you 100000000% each time I watch it, I flip flop on who won.

I lean towards Castillo, but I am unsure. It was that close.
This thread is needed and relevant to real boxing fans.

Let the PAC-t@rds juxtapose PAC in any and all threads.

I gotta say, if I had to choose, Castillo beat Floyd. I am actually surprised that PAC fans think PAC beat Floyd. Boxing fans need to review the first fight with Castillo and do their slow mo stuff. I think Castillo won.

If I use Castillo as the yardstick on beating Floyd, PAC lost by a yard.

Lol@foreman saying Floyd doesn't have confidence in his jab that's why he hasn't thrown it all fight. Meanwhile he dominated the first four rounds with it. You can't beat this commentary for entertainment. George and Larry held lampley in check and he did a great job as a play by play guy. Now he's insufferable.

Idk man....people might think you're an alt of mine or vise versa lol


some one needs to slow mo this fight...a lot of the punches I thought landed for each guy were misses this time....I watched it with the sound low, didnt want the commentary to play a part



Pac maybe won 3-4 rounds


7-5 either way or a draw is good with me....the difference was Mayweathers accuracy....if castillo got going early on he could have pulled it out but Floyd put too many rounds in the bank by round 6-7...it was uphill for castillo

this fight was so hard to score man

Pacquiao was not brought up In this thread one time until you decided to do so. What exactly does he have to do with this particular fight?
