    He's a cheating piece of **** who was only able to compete at the world class level due to him taking some type of performance enhancing drug. Worthless piece of **** couldn't box and wanted to quit when the going got rough. Glad that cheat is almost broke or close to being broke. It couldn't have happened to a better cheater.

    yes he would have a great chance to beat both prime for prime.

    I am of the opinion that Sugar Shane had ATG skills in his prime. His first fight against DLH displays this, he beat a much better version of DLH than Mayweather or Pacquiao could dream of fighting.

    :rofl no fighter ever beat PRIME DLH convincingly. Floyd, Bhop, Pacquiao and Sturm fought past prime versions. Quartey was a close fight that could've gone either way, and obviously Trinidad should've lost that fight. Nobody beat an absolute prime version of DLH except Mosley.

    It would have been very possible to score Whitaker/DLH for Pernell :deal

    WTF are you talking about. Mosley was the only man to ever beat a prime de la hoya. Both of these guys were ranked p4p#1 during an ATG era of boxing. Both of these guys in their primes would destroy Floyd. I mean, who the fuk has floyd fought that was anything remotely like either of them? A washed up Oscar almost beat floyd, 7 years prior and 25% faster and more powerful, Oscar would have Ko'd him.
    Put it this way, When oscar and Mosely were fighting, nobody gave a **** about LW champ Floyd. Floyd's "greateness" is such a pile of ****, he's just the product of a weak era and very little competition. When there was competition he opted to fight the B rated guys and wait for the great ones like Oscar, mosley, Pac to get old.
    Floyd's own claimed best victory was over Genaro Hernandez, an oscar left over Oscar never even talks about! LOL What does that tell you.

    That fight seemed to have slipped my mind when I was naming fighters that beat him, but yeah Whitaker made it close and that is another fight that could have gone either way. I think Whitaker actually won that fight.

    I really don't think it was all that close to be honest. Mosley won clearly.

    Agreed on both counts :thumbsup

    I had Whitaker winning 7-5 plus the KD and minus the point deduction to 114-112...and I had Mosley winning 8-4 the first time. :good

    DLH beat Mosley in the rematch..... It was 1-1 but how much did the juice help Mosley in both those fights? Who knows but both were similar level and top 100 all time no doubt

    Hopkins who was a great fighter. Chavez and Whitaker were great too, but old.

    Trinidad is borderline ATG.

    Mayweather doesn't have the resume of a great fighter, but he has the skills in most people's opinions. Mayweather I think would have beaten him convincingly had DLH not been the bigger man.

    When did Chavez or Tito beat Oscar convincingly :huh

    Did you feel JCC beat Oscar most convincingly when he was stopped the first time or when he was stopped the second time? And did Tito beat Oscar convincingly when he robbed him blind? :huh

    Floyd beat Oscar convincingly to the tune of 8-4 or 9-3 on my card.
