Why Mosley? Because of the second round??

But pressing Floyd and making it a dirty fight isn't beating him though. You seen what happend in Castillo 2 and Maidana 2 after they both thought they had the blueprint.

In both rematches, neither fought at the pace they did in the first fight..

Just like manny, canelo, ghost, etc they got caught up trying to be measured and composed vs floyd instead of going guns blazing.. If Maidana could have thrown 75-100 punches a round, he would have had a great chance to beat floyd, throwing 50 or less punches a round and you are getting UD by floyd all day long

Castillo won the first fight so there's no "closest." He won.

The closest was Maidana.

That is how. Felt for a long time.. Castillo was the champ.. But Floyd adjusts.

Floyd beat Castillo by a round depending on how you scored it. Some rounds could have gone either way. I had it a draw up until the final round then Floyd eaked by. I don't think it was enough to take the title though.

Castillo & Maidana DID beat him
Both Ortiz & Judah were robbed Mayweather should have been DQ'd in both

My two older uncles mid 70's but sharp, would both agree with you, and they know lots about boxing.

Not sure why posters keep saying that fight was a robbery...if you watch it and score it round by round, yes it was a close fight...but how can Robbery be used?

It's kinda like the PAC fight. Mayweather clearly won but it was close
Castillo clearly won but it was close

Not enough to take the title I felt!
