    The actual fight between them in which Oscar was past his best and Floyd wasn't didn't reveal that. Rather it showed it would have been a very competitive fight at Oscar's peak.

    A prime DLH would have fought Pac in 2009/2010 without blinking an eye.

    yeah but corrales never beat anyone as good as de la hoya, and id say most would agree that de la hoya was the better fighter.

    but the fight was not at 130 or 135 it was at 147 and marquez had to jump up to weights

    Yes that's true.Oscar jumped quickly to 140pounds and beat ATG Chavez.Floyd can only dream about Oscar resume of fighters.

    Corrales is this ATG warrior only in *****s day dreams.Corrales by KO :rofl

    Oscar has lost once by KO to Hopkins,the truth is Floyd has never shared the ring with Oscar caliber of opponents.

    You can defend Corrales,Marquez,Hatton,Cotto etc.. All what you want.it doesn't make a difference.just let it go..

    Oscar has fought 4 top50 ATG opponents,Floyd has his precisious 0 also in this category.

    And yes you said it perfectly,Oscar never beat 130-135 pounder when he was fighting at WW. against Mosley and Trininad of worlds.who were full grown WW'S.

    Floyd resume is good,but please stop over valuing it so much.some *****s try to make claims that Floyd has one of the greatest resumes.

    Floyd is better fighter than his resume tells us.one of the greatest skill sets,but one thing he lacks is resume.Floyd biggest ATG win's are probably Marquez and De La Hoya.and according to you and many others in this topic.Oscar was overrated and always lost his big fights,so it wasn't probably even a good win.especially when Oscar was shot to ****,and Marquez was dragged up to 2weightclasses.

    Nay_Sayer Cisco Route is bold when it comes to fantasy fights but in real time, he's a chicken**** to say anything and when pushed can't call a fight to save his life.

    He predicted and bet against me that Bradley would KO Pac in the rematch. :lol:

    Corrales holds the KO win over JLC. That win is better than anything on Oscar's resume below welter...

    Now that I think about, the Castillo KO might be better than any single win on de la Hoya's resume...

    What undefeated fighter did de la Hoya beat?

    His best win is a roided up Fernando Vargas who Tito had already KO'd...

    I would prefer having Chavez and Whitaker on my resume than somebody like Corrales or Castillo.but maybe it's that's just me.

    *****s of course thing Floyd has GOAT resume,or atleast close to it.
