    Floyd doesn't eve have the balls to fight 22 year old Saul Alvarez at 154, a weight division where supposedly Mayweather is a 2 time champion in. :-(

    He is already there


    He is light years away from Floyd, its not even close. Floyd knows this, that is why he so insecure and has resentment issues and acts out the way he does.

    Why do you think that? Because he has a 44-0 record fighting B and C fighters and washed up A fighters. He has still yet to have a career defining fight even, unless you call barely beating an over the hill oscar, as defining.

    With all due respect to Mayweather's accomplishments, I think it's safe to say that those agreeing DLH has accomplished more, and has a better resume, and should and will be ranked higher have won this debate. :deal

    what is your definition of a career defining fight?

    Floyd was a better fighter than Oscar the history books will say that

    You Floyd guys keep saying:

    - History will show Floyd was better.
    - Floyd is undefeated
    - There is no blue print
    - Oscar lost many fights
    - Floyd is a defensive genius
    - Floyd dominted his opponents

    But none of you have stated a case as to how it is the Floyd who

    -has less accomplishments
    -has fought weaker opposition
    -did not fight the best

    Is greater than Oscar who:

    -has fought and beat better opposition
    -is more decorated
    -has beat more champions
    -has better defenses
    -cleaned out the best WW division since the days of Leonard

    The big difference between Oscar and Floyd is, Oscar sought out the biggest challenges and best fighters he could fight...and Floyd has ran from those challenges and has been reluctant to take those fights when they are still relevant. Oscar has some losses, but at least he had the balls to challenge himself. If Oscar was still in his prime at 147, he would step up to the plate and fight guys like Canelo, Pacquiao and Mattesye. It's a lot easier to hold on to your undefeated record when you cherry pick opponents. The fact that Oscar had the stones to jump up and fight Hopkins for his middleweight title says a lot about the balls he had... I was never a DLH fan but I always respected the way he challenged himself and gave the fans the fights they wanted to see. That being said, I can't rate DLH above Mayweather simply because he came up short in a lot of his biggest fights...that being said, I rate him right behind Mayweather because the competition he has faced throughout his career has been way tougher than Floyd's.

    Floyd is the better fighter we all know that. That is why he will be ranked higher

    :patsch

    You're aware, a Prime Floyd, barely got by a past prime, part time fighter, lethargic Oscar de La Hoya right?

    Prime De La Hoya beats Mayweather, that is the consensus.

    Give up brah. This debate should have ended after the 2nd page when Floyd fans and *****s had nothing but dissecting Oscar's resume but hypocritically turning a blind eye to Mayweather's weaker resume.

    Floyd at 36 years old is 44-0 and still the best boxer on the planet


    At 33 Oscar lost to Floyd comfortably 8-4 and then retired on his stool against Pacquiao


    At age 34 he was modeling womens underwear



    Floyd Mayweather is greater. Deal with it
