Prime DLH vs. Prime PBF @ 147 Who wins?

Who said that?:huh:verysad

 

Mayweather beats an old De La Hoya and right away he can beat a prime one?

Oscar all day.

 

De La Hoya points victory.

 

like someone else said, if prime Floyd beat Oscar barely, Oscar a little more fresh would beat him.

 

I tend to believe Floyd's last true prime fight was the Judah fight. That wasn't the best Floyd in there against Hoya on May 5th clearly.

 

Dlh tko

 

How do you figure? :think

 

No combinations, slow movement of foot, he hardly pulled the trigger when the opportunity was available. He was stiffer than usually also. His sheer athleticism and superior skill saw him through in the fight down the stretch.

Whenever he wanted to back Hoya up, he seemed to be able to at any point in the fight, he was pulling back at the same time while throwing the jab, even the jab to the body. He just didn't commit to any of his punches.

 

Damn dog read your on post!!! and PPL wonder why these forums are jacked up....atsch

 

Nah Mayweather was still prime, just DLH came in 166 so Mayweather played more defensive. DLH at 147 wouldnt come in 166, more like 150+ and Mayweather would throw more. would be a great fight but FOR ALL YOU DUMB ASSES THAT SAY MAYWEATHER-DLH WAS CLOSE NEED TO GET YO DAMN EYES CHECKED OR LAY OFF DLHS NUTS!!!:good

 

Offhand, PBF.

An old Pea gave Oscar fits and Ike Quartey outboxed him. No good reason Floyd couldn't also. Let's not forget that a big part of why Floyd looked slower and more tentative is that they fought at 154. With his welterweight reflexes, I think there's a live chance he confuses the crap out of prime De La Hoya.

 

I never said that the second fight was closer then the first your lost homeboy.

 

Oscar De La Hoya would definitely beat Floyd Mayweather at 147. Neither man was at his best there, but Oscar was more comfortable.

He outboxed Felix Trinidad there, went 1-1 with prime Shane Mosley, and edged a past-prime but still superb Pernell Whitaker and the formidable and underrated Ike Quartey.

Floyd? He beat a few sub-standard alphabetters, most of them on points, and generally looked nowhere near the fighter he was at 130-140 - hence why he avoided fighting any of the big ww hitters of the day like Williams, Mosley, Cotto and Margarito.

Floyd was probably the greater fighter at his peak, but his peak was not welterweight. Oscar's excellent jab and all-round game sees him earn a close but clear points decision over the smaller man in a competitive match-up.

At 130-140, the result may have different.

 

you said the 2nd fight was close too but it wasnt

 

Mayweather, close but clear.

Even in his prime DLH was never a fighter that could fight the majority of the a fight without tiring out. Mayweather would pick even a prime DLH apart sooner or later like he did at 154.
