You can never do one of these contentious rescores with a figure as polarizing as Mayweather, and expect the scorers to be neutral or subjective.Best breakdown of the fight I've read, scored for Castillo.

Both fight looked similar to me, if you give PBF the first fight then you got to give him the second one and vice versa, and likewise Castillo if you give him the first fight then you might as well score the second one to him.Comment

This was at lightweight when Floyd was prime. Floyd came out strong, using his speed. Castillo starts investing to the body in the middle rounds, trapping and forcing Floyd to go toe to toe. Easily one of the best fights of the past decade. In the late rounds however Castillo clearly swept it as Floyd got desperate.
Castillo fought a prime undefeated Floyd at lightweight and most analysts had Castillo out-throwing and out-landing Floyd 115-111 to 117-109. Floyd put up a hell of a fight, but the BLUEPRINT was laid.
simply put AMAZING, what more can you ask for?[IMG][IMG]http://i142.***********.com/albums/r84/john_magsila/compubox_zpsq0bqwbcp.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]Best breakdown of the fight I've read, scored for Castillo.

Very true.Props to Floyd for giving him an immediate rematch off the surgery without no tune ups or any of the BS we see nowadays, he could've easily dropped that belt and went up to 140 or fought someone else, he couldn't live with people saying he lost so he went right back in there and got the job done and left no doubt that he's the best at 135. Nobody does that in boxing anymore, no doubt Floyd learned from that fight and became a better fighter. Never take anybody lightly and never go to a championship fight at anything less than 100%:
I always say, whether you think Floyd won or lost, a lot of fighters would have taken that W and ran with it. Same as the Maidana first fight, Floyd won that but it was a hell of a rough night for him but he took him on again to win more clearly.
A lot of fighters should take note i.e. Canelo, he would never dream of getting in with Lara again to prove he's the better fighter.Comment

Castillo is by far one of the most underrated guys of the last 25 years.
Tremendous skill set for being labeled "typical Mexican fighter". From 99-2005 he had p4p skills.. just rewatched the Corrales fight last night and watching jlc go body, head, body with a triple jab followed by a short straight right.. just great stuff from an inside fighter.. u don't see guys like Hatton, margarito, etc doing stuff like that..
Def a hall of famer in my eyesComment
