Floyd is something else.
When I first saw him box, I was instantly sold longterm. He kept proving me right until the day he quit boxing.
I like Castillo too, a stand up guy, but he's a footnote to boxing history. He'll be more remembered as a sparring partner to Chavez than Floyd's biggest win. To me, Immanuel Burton was Floyd's toughest fight, a fight Floyd needed to dig really deep. Maidana and Castillo don't qualify.
I'm more impressed in the display of boxing art and science than a brawl and face first stuff like GGG (the topic starter's favorite fighter). Floyd was both the artist and scientist.
Floyd is among the three best known boxers ever: Ali, Tyson, Floyd. Deal with it.
