    I don't base my points of view on what Harold says. Most guys on this site could do his job.

      Plus, a true champion leaves no doubt, when people doubted the Castillo and Maidana decisions, he gave them an immediate rematch and left no doubts in the rematches, we see a lot of fighters get gift decisions and never want to get back in there to prove that they're the better fighter.
      You got a cool avatar pic!! Way cool!

        Re read this, and kinda agree. Boxing is in his DNA, but his chin is God given. I saw him get hit with monster shots(which I greatly enjoyed) only to see him recover pretty quickly. Pretty solid chin!

          He landed two good punches. I never seen Floyd get rocked like that.

              I think Castillo won. Ring side observers, the fight fans and boxers at Teiken gym told me Castillo beat Floyd.

              Castillo was steady working that body. Even when he was holding Floyd from behind. Great stuff.

              Btw. That fool spoon said

              Other guys on the list beat Floyd too. .
              DLH
              PAC
              Spoon is a first class fool

                ODLH's performance is overrated. Cotto and Pacman should be above him in this poll.

                  Cotto and Pacquiao?

                  Cotto won like 2 rounds but people think he won more because he gave Floyd a nose bleed.

                  And Pacquiao....he didn't really do anything.
