    You hear that all the time, also, throw beat up old shopworn Gatti into the mix of fighters people keep bringing up as Floyd's great wins.

    Oh yes, and Hatton. :lol:

    You compare Floyd to DLH and you have instant comedy.

    Step aside for the real men, Hyper.
     
  2. I also threw mosley in there. No floyd dickridin over here *****. I just call it like I see it. people get desperate when it comes to validating Oscar so they start pulling bums out of their asses. Also, who said anything about gatti? I don't give floyd credit for gatti just like i don't give oscar credit for him. I just like how floyd whipped gattis ass in that fight thats all.

    Very accurate :lol:

    Oscar won 10 world titles at 6 weights. 29 title fights, 24 victories.

    Don't even try and pretend "lost all his big fights" is "accurate".

    I think Oscar was the first one to make Trinidad look silly in that ring. IMO he beat Trinidad although he did himself a great disservice by getting on his bike in the championship rounds.

    He lost against Mosley the 1st time but I think he beat the roided up Mosley the 2nd time around.

    I think he edged the victory out the Quartey fight.

    He lost to Sturm.

    Saying that he lost all his big fights is not quite accurate if you truly watched the fights and dont go on soley on the record states.

    Yeah, I dislike him a lot, but he was supremely talented.

    DLH gets underrated all the time.

    Decisive mean you cant have any result in that fight other than a Shane Mosley win unless you're wearing fishnets while you were scoring the fight and are dumb enough to give DLH rounds based on some females screaming at ringside after some flurries where he missed all his punches.

    Close fight but with a clear winner.

    You understand yesterday's champions always end up footnotes to the ATGs. Will people remember Corrales outside of the beating Floyd put on him? Will his name stand out from that?- Or will people say Corrales, Mitchell, Judah, Hernandez, all bums, what ATG did Floyd beat.

    As for Mosley, people have forgotten about his lightweight years. The only fight brought up is DLH and he lost the second one. He lost all his other big fights.

    Thought DLH closely lost the first SSM fight, and clearly won the second.

    I find it funny people actually think Margarito can beat him in his prime.

    He should have lost that fight to Quartey, maybe thats why Trinidad got the decision
