Also, the fights were both similar in the fact that Taylor and Floyd won alot of the early rounds.
However, Taylor had a tough time with Bernard when Bernard was slipping and countering effectivly, and Mayweather had a tough time with Castillo when he was really pressuring him and forcing the action.
I think they are the same, but you are entitled to your opinion.
HBO hated Mayweather's guts ever since Mayweather called them slave drivers in 2000, two years earlier. Larry Merchant has only recently opened up to Mayweather again as well as the rest of the HBO team. Lederman had Mayweather losing rounds to Castillo that were clearly Floyd's. At least two rounds he handed to Castillo that were Mayweather's or nobody's.

RIGHT!!!
I remember that.
Harold is usually very good, i couldnt help saying...WTF fight is he scoring right now!!?!
If Mayweather was signed to HBO at the time he fought Castillo for the first time, then it was an obvious fix. Arum is known for fixing fights just like his buddy, Donnie King.
I scored Hopkins - Taylor 1 a draw and Hopkins - Taylor 2 116-112 for Taylor. Castillo beat Mayweather 7 rounds to 5 with an even round when he got a point deducted and he won 10-8 when Mayweather was deducted.
