I think I'm becoming more of a Floyd fan! He's not a badass,he's just taking the role of the bad guy. He seems really genuine on 24/7,that fwocking programme makes me a fan of his! I mean,his training is IMMMENSE!! And having gone to boxing for the first time the other day,it REALLY puts into perspective all his skills and training! That shoulder roll is incredible!!

I get really confused with all the Jesus Chavez's around, who was the one Floyd fought ?

Re: 5 fights that have tested Mayweather the most..
IMO the first Castillo fight is his hardest test hands down
Re: 5 fights that have tested Mayweather the most..
Castillo was his hardest fight and when you think it was only his 28th fight his 11th world title fight he had already made 9 defences of his superfeather title his 2nd world title at a second weight against the best in the devision at the time Castillo it shows how good Mayweather is compared to Hatton i suppose because he fought Castillo at the top of his game 5 year ago and now Hattons fighting the faded washed up version and thinks its a mega fight Floyd is p4p the best fighter in the world and with a win over De La Hoya and if he does'nt retire a couple more big wins he will go down as one of the best p4p fighters ever

Floyd has actually fought two different Jesus Chavez's
One was not very good, the other was very good and durable, and definately was the
first that showed up as an actual challenge to PBF. The
only losses that, that Jesus Chavez has had in the last decade were
to Floyd Mayweather, Erik Morales and Julio Diaz.

Factual my English half black arse!
How is it factual that because Hatton fighting Castillo 5 after Floyd, it shows how good he is or isn't compared to Floyd?
What does simple matchmaking have to do with talent?
Im actually struggling to find where Hattons name fits into all this ???
Re: 5 fights that have tested Mayweather the most..
because that Castillo was at the top of his game, this Castillo people think is past it and shouldn't be considered a super fight, but yeah not really sure what hatton has to do with this thread.

Again...don't really even remotely bring Hatton into the equation.
Depending on the Castillo arguement...it's all on how you look at it. Sure Castillo was much MUCH better back in the day...but there's still some fight in him.
Re: 5 fights that have tested Mayweather the most..
I'm surprised the Zab Judah fight wasn't mentioned.

And didnt jesus have some really bad injury during the fight with morales aswell? I remember having seen it somewhere down the line..think it might have been the knee?!
And the julio diaz fight was lost because of the knee injury aswell.. Shame though i really like el matador

Lol something wrong with that? I always fugured that was because of the sudden publicity he got from the death of johnson and him bieng world champion..
Plus theres not enough lighter fighters on the game.. Bit strange they would include jesus chavez And! escobedo as he only a prospect..

::** Er, but its right there in front of your piss blind drunk eyes you damn fool you! ;D
"it shows how good Mayweather is compared to Hatton i suppose because he fought Castillo at the top of his game 5 year ago and now Hattons fighting the faded washed up version"
Hatton hasn't even fought Castillo yet. Whats there to compare?!
Of course, in hindsight, there could be a whole lot of validity in Tysonbruno's comments but for now. 'Factual' my yellow spotty bum! :P

CC brother,glad you liked it.
KS,I disagree,the Judah fight was not tough for Floyd. Floyd took the first few rounds off,look at his activity levels. He wanted to see what Judah could bring to the table. In fact,after the first 5,it wasn't as if Judah had won them all,I'm sure I had it 2-2-,1 even. Floyd won nearly evry other round and had Judah desperate towards the end. I don't think it was as tough as those mentioned.
