floyd's shoulder get injured in that fight ( i dont know if it was just an excuse for him)
castillo landed 203 floyd landed 157, castillo did have more landed punches than floyd's landed punches in that fight
but Pro boxing matches are scored round by round. The fighter who wins the round gets 10 points, and the fighter who loses the round gets nine points. Every time a fighter is knocked down, he loses a point, a one-knockdown round, for example, would be scored 10-8. (Sometimes a seriously one-sided round without a knockdown is also scored 10-8, at the judge's discretion.)
and it was 2002, floyd really improve his defense over the years
especially since floyd mayweather sr joined floyd mayweather jr's camp
he get even more defensive
and manny is 36 in may 2nd 2015, maidana was 30 when he fight mayweather the first time
stamina is a factor if you are an offensive fighter that want to pressure the opponent over 12 rounds
older age = less stamina(in many sport not just boxing),
in manny last 5 fights hes not the same loose canon that beat oscar, he tend to slow down after round 5
