    i agree, you are entitled to your opinion but here are some real facts.

    1. oscar in his prime was a fulltime fighter who could ko his opponent in any round, including the 12th. i dont expect you to have seen him back then but take my word for it.

    2. saying floyd would do this and do that because you see him outclass limited oposition does not mean that he can do that to an atg. especially in his prime.

    3. you only consider what makes floyd look good so dont say "all things considered" because that is complete bull****. if you want to see all things considered then check my first post on the subject.

    It depends what weight they fight at, any at 140 or under, where floyd was far better, espicially at 130, he wins IMO, at 154 oscar definetly wins but that, at least the one time floyd fought there, looks 1 weight class to far.

    If the fight was at 147, i'm not sure, i'd favour oscar but i think it would be tight

    True.
    What people forget is that DLH in his prime would be regarded as the all time best opponent Floyd ever faced in his entire career.
    DLH threw double and triple jabs very straight, very fast, and very hard.

    In there respective primes. Gotta go with Floyd.

    He would take more chances on offensive.

    Oscar would try and box more. He would play right into Floyd's hands

    Floyd will always be a more natural boxer.

    Floyd by an even wider UD

    Or should I say Void. Douchbag.

    Go back to the farm and stop hating:hi:

    First off, Mayweather would have NEVER fought a prime fighter like DLH,:deal did you saw thier fight? DLH was NOT even at his best and still gave Mayweather a hell of a night, now think to yourself what would a YOUNG and HUNGRY DLH would have done to Mayweather? simple as that!

    Did you notice besides the disatvange in age and speed. He had an atvantage in everything else. DLH had Size strength, ring size, glove size, At what weight the fight took place.

    I'm saying everything equal at 140 or 147 in there primes. Mayweather is a better defensive fighter and faster and Mayweather dosen't lay on the ropes in this fight he uses his legs ala Corrales to pot shot Oscar and frustrate him ala Whitaker(An old one too). And Oscar always fades.Too much Talent Floyd wins.

    Oscar wins. He has all of the physical advantages. He could almost match Mayweather in speed. He had a perfect jab. We saw how much an old Oscar bothered Mayweather when he actually stuck to his gameplan. He could have won a decision that night easily. Prime for prime Oscar wins a UD.
