Okay fine, it wasn't convincing... I guess i'll admit I hate on Floyd a little bit unfairly sometimes. Sue me ... It WAS relatively even, yes, but none the less I still felt a little let down when Floyd got the decision.. I really felt like Castillo should have had that fight.. I'm no professional judge though so i'm not about to argue my opinion is worth more than someone else's.

I don't know about any of the others that have brought that fight up,, but the single reason I brought it up in this case was not to complain or preach my opinion on it. I was just wanting to use it as an example to show that if someone can keep coming and coming and coming at Floyd, and not get pounded with pinpoint counters in the process, it can very very quickly even up a fight with him.. I'm certainly not trying to predict the upcoming fight by pointing out a fight Floyd won or lost 5 years ago against a totally different person... It was purely an example of how someone can match themselves up with Floyd if they attack him in the right way. In fact, forget i'm even talking about Floyd, the names of the fighters are irrelevant... I'm really just talking about styles, and that fight was the perfect example. Until I saw that fight, I had made up my mind that their wasn't much that could stop Floyd's style. He looked flawless.. That fight though, showed me that no one is flawless..

I also havn't seen all of Floyd's fights, but the ones i've seen where he hasn't completely dominated, it's because the opponent forced themselves on him continuously and relentlessly, and forced the fight to be even.... The opponents that i've seen mayweather completely outclass, have tried to fight from the outside and outbox him, or have failed to find a way to get inside consistanly....

The only relevance I was drawing upon from that fight was that you would expect Ricky to come out hounding Floyd the way Castillo did.. Whether or not it works as well for Ricky as it did for Castillo,, well,, that question is why so many people will be looking forward to watching this fight December 8th..

That's just my observations though, and I welcome the feedback. Our forum would be sh!t if everyone agreed with each other..
