    Oscar really should have received the decision against Trinidad. But he also should have fought the last part of the fight better to ensure that he did. He was clearly the superior fighter to my eyes. Oscar was frustrating because he often fought not quite the best strategic fights in his losses. But doing that is a reflection as to how great he was (or wasn't). Say what you will about PBF but he usually "fights his fight."

    I think a prime Oscar would give Floyd hell, but I think Floyd would still win, but barely. Perhaps a close SD victory.

    Don't hate him, but how can you put a prime De La Hoya on that list, but leave out fighters like Kid Gavilan or Luis Rodriguez? Two guys (of many) who were clearly better than Oscar.

    The same result as against the older and out-of-prime ODLH?

    Floyd Mayweather is the best fighter I have seen in about 20 years ..... but Thomas Hearns would of brutalised him, LEonard may have outboxed him and Duran may have been to rough and agressive for Floyd to deal with. Also, Saugar Ray Robinson and HEntry Armstrong would be too good too.

    Floyd is a great fighter but not the greatest at 147. I still think he'll beat PAcquaio though.

    Looking into Floyd's resume...there is not a fighter in there that is half as good as the boxers on all these lists. Except ODH/SSM and he didnt fight the best WW's around 07-09. Floyd is even more beatable in the 80's-90's WW eras.
