    When Oscar started using his right hand more about the time he had the rematch with Mosley I think that was Oscar's best performance and clearly beat Mosley.

    Bull****. Steve Forbes fought De La Hoya in his prime.

    Naw it was evident in the Forbes fight that Oscar was weak from having to make 150.

    How did Oscar get forced into 150 pounds? I thought everyone who fought Oscar had to agree to HIS demands!?:huh

    Floyd fought a 30% Oscar. Manny fought a 10%. Floyd got taken to a split decision, Manny dominated. Neither victory means much.

    Floyd beat Oscar comfortably 8-4. The fight was a blow out from round 9 on. I think from rounds 9-12 Floyd outlanded Oscar something like 5-1 on compubox.


    Anyone that scores it 7-5 is really just a Floyd hater.

    Larry Merchant: Oscar or Floyd, who won?
    Mayweather Sr.: “Hey man, If you go by point system, you're gonna have to give it to Oscar”

    and Joke coach Roach was Oscar's trainer that fight too

    I watched that fight 10 times. 8 out of the 10 I had it 9 rounds to 3 for Floyd Mayweather. To me it was easy work for Floyd. I really don't see how it was close. Oscar was throwing but wasnt landing ****. That judge that gave that fight to Oscar was out of his mind imo.

    Floyd fighting too defensively made the fight appear close to the naked eye. I also had it 9-3 Floyd.

    Floyd wasn't just fighting Oscar that night, Floyd also beat the fans and the media. It was also GBP's show. My opinion has always been that they made it a SD, so they can easily sell a rematch.

    He didn't have to kill himself to make weight. Oscar did and it showed up big time. Its not Pacs fault, but Oscar was definitely a zombie in there.
