Floyd Mayweather\u2019s 50-0 record is one of the most impressive achievements in boxing, with a host of legends unable to overcome him, but there is one former opponent who disagrees with that unbeaten run, believing that he should have got the decision when they fought.<\/p>\n
In a 50-fight career, Mayweather rarely got caught clean, with Shane Mosley famously being the only opponent to rock the Michigan slickster, despite facing the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. It was another man, however, who gave Floyd his closest fight \u2013 and one that many in the sport feel he lost.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ESNEWS<\/a> this week, Jos\u00e9 Luis Castillo reaffirmed his belief that he should have got the decision when he first fought Mayweather in April 2002 \u2013 deemed to be the American\u2019s most controversial win.<\/p>\n Mayweather \u2013 defending his WBC lightweight title \u2013 boxed much of the bout with an injured left shoulder and was forced to rely heavily on movement and right-hand counters, while Castillo applied constant pressure and enjoyed success to the body.<\/p>\n Many observers felt the Mexican had done enough to win, but Mayweather retained his belt via unanimous decision (116-111, 115-111, 115-111), with the scoring drawing significant controversy and eventually leading to a rematch later that year.<\/p>\n The American would score a more decisive victory, but to this day his initial encounter with \u2018El Terrible\u2019 remains his most disputed triumph.<\/p>\n Fast forward to today and it the famous undefeated record could be put at risk in the coming months, with a rematch against Pacquiao announced for September.<\/a><\/p>\n
