Mayweather was handed a chance against Hernandez for the 130 lineal title

[therealpugilist]

No because 8 pounds aren't 5 pounds. And Floyd at 135 was still taller and had more reach than most people there. He wasn't outsized. In fact he had to move up to 135 later.

you do realize in the first castillo fight, floyd was 138 in the ring and castillo was 148...a welterweight....he moved up bro....you suck at trying to rewrite history....Castillo was larger....Ndo turned pro at 130 like floyd but was also 5'11".....Sosa was no small lightweight either...similar in height and reach to floyd.....did you even watch any of floyd's fights back then.....you seem to be reaching for invisible straws kmsl

it was a cherry pick by hernandez gone wrong and floyd took it and the snowball kept rolling.

Castillo was a man with four losses, was shorter and had shorter arms too. And Floyd lost that fight lol. SU.

Yeah, cherrypick... barely a favourite against a cherry pick? lmao.

I see people here talking nonsense about Golovkin being handled titles.

Using that logic, I want to know what did Floyd Mayweather jr do to get a chance for the lineal 130 lb title against Hernandez. At that point Floyd had beaten all bums with no record. He was 17-0 and ALL were bums. But real bums. Look at their records. And don't talk to me about him looking special in fights cuz so does GGG. And don't talk to me about having a great amateur career with a medal at the olympics cuz do so did GGG.

And then some of you ****** Mayweather fans have the balls to say that Floyd wasn't handled anything... that he had a rough path. Then what about GGG? Tell me another joke please you ignorant fools!

Maxi, are you the least bit embarrassed by this thread? I get you were mad so you made the thread. Didn't it dawn on you that comparing a 21 yr old with a 34 yr old, given the context, was a little crazy?

GGG was given 2 titles in the boardroom. Even if you think it is unfair for a poster to point that out its true. I can't see how a poster needling you about this causes you to create a thread like this.

Zero embarrased. People don't go there and vacate titles they won. If they do it, it's for a reason. Maybe they don't wanna face the guy they have to face as mandatory. Go figure.

And I never said Mayweather was gifted a titled. But he was given the chance to fight for it. Something Golovkin was never given.

Floyd fought Hernandez in his 18th fight. Golovkin is 34-0. Lets compare Floyd's opponents from number 19 to number 34 and see how it compares to Golovkin's fights from 19 to 34.

The biggest joke on this page is a guy named Maxi!

not to mention he moved up 4 more weight classes after the hernandez fight looking for challenges ggg stays at the same the comparison is ****** period

Mayweather officially won a close fight, which i made a thread about, many posters scored it and shared their cards...... cleared things up in the rematch with a clear cut win.

size in muscle density, bone density, weight, and mass.....Castillo was the bigger man and you look like a dumb azz trying to dispute that

3 of those 4 losses were to former world title holders

he was 24 in the last loss and pup in the other ones to the former champions


Castillo had for losses earlier in his career and was on a good run which would continue until the epic fight with Corrales which marked the end of his time as an elite fighter and the best lightweight of the era...early 2000s

your revisonist history sucks...you literally are one of the worst posters on here...you tired of getting schooled yet?

Ok. I really don't see why you referenced Floyd on this. The reality of the sport is some guys get shots early because they have a powerful promoter or because they are polular and bring a huge fanbase that makes everyone money and some have to wait a long time like Hagler.
