Re: If Floyd had losses
If he had loss(es) I guess it would depend on who beat him and how.
Rather than claim he is undefeated, he'd claim he was robbed ala Bhop style & keep on fighting.
I think a loss would've required a rematch, to which he would've won-as did when his questionable victories were called into question
One thing for sure is that virtually all great fighters at some point got the benefit of the doubt.
Marciano was in a fight where his nose was near torn off. Any other fighter & it would've been stopped.
JCC got a gift draw vs Pernell.
Ali got gift wins like a kid gets gifts on Xmas.
Ray Leonard got a gift draw vs Hearns II..and stated he loss that fight hands down.
DLH got a gift win vs Quartey
Most big named fighters will always get the benefit of the doubt.
For the record, as close as the Castillo I fight was, I had Floyd winning 6-5-1, Floyd is undefeated.

Re: If Floyd had losses
I had the Castillo 1 fight a 6-6 draw but could easily see it 7-5 either way. I think that's the only disputable decision on Floyd's record.
To go 18 years without a loss in unbelievable on the world stage, considering all the killers that are out there, and all the crazy shit that can happen in a fight (cuts, injuries, bad decisions, ect).
It's skill, but it's also luck. The judges could have easily given the fight to Castillo. The judges could have given the fight to De La Hoya or Maidana (not that I think they won, but worse scorecards have been given).

Re: If Floyd had losses
That's true too. Even Marciano got a gift vs Lastarza the first time, Joe Louis vs Walcott 1, ect. It happens.

Re: If Floyd had losses
I thought Floyd won it but I'm using it as an example cause it is the only other close fight floyds been in. Cotto was good too but I thought Maidana did better.

Re: If Floyd had losses
Haha yeah, I think people are stretching it when they say Maidana and DLH should have been loses.Bad judging, of course!
The only time it can be argued Floyd lost was the first Castillo fight.
