you mean like Hatton? yea he really fell into the gutter since losing to Floyd, only managed to re-establish himself as the #1 Jr.welterweight in the world

, Zab Judah, who although i can't stand, is still a big time player in the title picture at either welter or jr welter, and like Jesus Chavez who's still a top contender in the Lightweight division, he's really fought bums that Mayweather

One and possibly the only if that of his weaknesses I saw in the Castillo fight is that he can't throw the first punch.
You have to make Mayweather throw the first punch in the exchanges thus leaving himself open.
But thats just my opinion you gotta be fast too.

That's part of being too defensive, thats why people can't come in throwing punches, I think Mayweather has changed two things a lot since the Castillo fight.
1. He ties his opponent up faster instead of going into his shell on the ropes.
2. He is starting to counter more going backwards, and he uses his jab a lot less(which IMO is a bad thing because his jab was amazing at 130/135).
