Its relevant if someone thinks its relevant, thats the bottom line.

If Hatton had rematched Collazo and beaten him soundly would people disregard his first effort? of course they wouldnt. It still offers some insight into what another fighter can achieve, same with Mayweather Castillo 1.
Bow before Your maker!
The funny thing about that whole post is the fighters talked about. So what if Floyd had some trouble with Castillo, he is arguably an all time top ten at 135, and one of the best p4p fighters of his generation in his prime, and thats smack bang when floyd fought him.
On the other hand Hatton was troubled by Magee, talented journeyman at best, probably never a top ten guy in his weight division, and he would NEVER have troubled Floyd at 140. Nuff said
You know what. I'm drunk. I'm stoned. Its a Friday night but right now i'm in a state of realisation. Eagle youv'e just helped me form a new opinion.

Basically. We all have a banter about how Castillo gave Floyd all the trouble in the world in their 1st encounter. But watch the fight. Floyd was 'trying' to do a fair amount of fighting.

Come the 2nd fight, you all see what happened. So feel this for a second....
If the great Ray Leonard can try to fight Duran over FIFTEEN ROUNDS then make him say 'no mas' after eight rounds of sugar shock. Then lads i'm sure if Floyd really did his thing he'd of made Duran want 'no mas' in just the same way.

It might be the drugs. But thats how i feel right now
