    Or something along those lines, I'm sure you've parroted it.

    There isn't any hate stating that Floyd should have lost to Castillo and Maidana in the first fights, Floyd simply didn't do enough in either fight he was extremely lucky to get the decision in his favour.
    Castillo is the only one that couldve went 7-5 either way.

    Maidana faded in the 2nd half of his fight. After the 8th round (I had it even at this point) floyd took over while maidana wasn't as effective. Floyd also landed the cleaner, more effective punches throughout the fight as well so you can't say he didnt do enough.

      Even though I had Floyd as the winner against Maidana I think that was physically his toughest fight. Maidana's physical strength, rough tactics, awkward style and punching power really got to Floyd.

        I have never scored against Floyd but Castillo and Maidana came very close and Floyd rematched both of them to make it clear

          You say "even" as if Floyd Sr didn't have a better relationship with Oscar at the time.

            The two guys that arguably beat him, Castillo and Maidana.

            But Augustus was a tough fight physically and so was Cotto even though he obviously beat both.

                Yeah from your couch and we got adliaiyde Byrd at the highest position of pro judging showing any moron can do it if they apply.

                maidana couldn’t win a round to save his life after the 5th and Oscar couldn’t touch Floyd after the 6th two clear as day victories for Floyd. Castillo is the only one who had a case but there were points taken off in that fight that affected the final score.

                  I think you just spilled your beer on the couch, better clean that up or it will stain.
