    Which boxer gave Floyd Mayweather Jr his toughest fight?

    Who would you say troubled Floyd the most in the ring?

    Jose Luis Castillo?

    Marcos Maidana?

    Emmanuel Augustus?

    Or someone else?

      I disagree that ODLH and Maidana beat him.

      I can see an argument for Castillo, though.

        I say that without any bias, seriously. I had ODH 115-113. The fight was a split decision and close, so an argument could be made either way.

        I thought Maidana was the aggressor, out-worked him, pressured him, took him out of his comfort zone, and was much busier of the two. Talking the first fight of course.

          I agree. Even Floyd SR said he thought De La Hoya won.

              De La Hoya IMO, that was an extremely close fight that could’ve easily went either way

                    I had it:

                    Castillo 7-5
                    Maidana 6-6
                    and Floyd over Oscar 7-5
