    I think we all wanted to see Floyd tested. IMO he is comparable to this year's UConn Women's team; it's not that they weren't tested its just he/they are talented, mentally tough and well prepared for every test they faced.
    I can agree with the Zab Judah KD, I just wanted to see a clear KD counted by a ref.

    Mosley dang near dropped him, but.... He is talented,, prideful, and mentally prepared.

      I thought Zab in winning rounds 1-4 against Floyd, was actually closer to beating him than everyone on the list other than Castillo and Maidana. I did think Shane was going to KO Floyd for a minute but by the end of that round Floyd had weathered the storm.
      Hey Dunn, notice how Spoon and his posse are not posting here? I was hoping they would come in and back up their slow motion madness. I invited them to post......

      Anyway, I think Castillo actually beat Floyd. I am not thinking of the re match. Just the first fight.

        Yeah they have toned it down.

        Some honestly think Castillo won the 1st fight. They are fair but unfortunately so many petty haters weigh in that any honest discussion gets drowned.

        Floyd did have a tougher than expected time IMO because it was his 1st time at the weight and Castillo was a tough fighter.

          Petty haters: the haters that hate just because they are haters??? I know the type. Castillo 2 wasn't that close in my opinion. Floyd learns and processes fast.

          In a way, I thought he took his foot off the gas when he figured out Mosley?!!!

              He did not want to risk being Margaritoed by Mosley.

                He got lucky. He moved straight backwards, which is something you should never do. A simple mistake almost cost him everything.

                  My dogg Jhonny wants me to admit, that Floyd is a fighting fool. I cheered when Mosley almost had him out of there, was impressed when Floyd adjusted, and let Mosley make it to the end.
                  Look at his feet in that round when he got hurt. I mean when he first got hurt....its amazing that even though his legs were wobbly, he was able to stand. I often times think, was he made for this???? Like seriously made to box? Its amazing. I wanted to see Floyd tested more as well, but many people just didn't.

                    He definitely can take a punch. He has holding on to Mosley for dear life!

                      His legs buckled and bent twice in that second round. But he recovers really quickly. That is the impressive thing. Mosley rand his bell big time!
