    De La Hoya at his prime would beat Mayweather at any weight.

    Right... Oscar never maintained his stamina after 9 rounds... tell that to Quartey, and Vargas. I bet they would love to hear about that one.

    Pryor would KO Floyd, that's a horrible stylistic matchup for Mayweather. A guy who can box, brawl, and comes at you like a locomotive. He hits in all angles and hits like a mother****er. I would also favor Duran at 140 since he was also good at dealing with speedy boxers. Duran had great technical skill and chin for his size, he even beat Iran Barkely who knocked out Hearns.

    He was not well past his prime in the fight and Floyd stepped up in weight to fight Oscar who is still one of if not the best JM in the world today. Floyd's best fighting weight is 140 and to say you went up 2 weight divisions and beat arguably the best JM in the world is quite an accomplishment.

    I agree that Floyd's win is quite an accomplishment. However, I wish that Oscar haters could do the same, and say "Chavez was not well past his prime and Oscar stepped up in weight to beat Chavez who was still one of, if not the best Jr. Welterweight in the world at the time." However, for some reason there is a huge double standard when discussing Oscar's accomplishments and everyone elses.

    Especially when considering that Chavez was still in the top pd 4 pd when Oscar beat him.... and it had been 10 years since Oscar was named #1 in the world pd 4 pd, when he fought Floyd. However, I agree that Oscar wasn't shot. Of course he wasn't what he used to be... and I don't think that it had anything to do with his age. It has to do with the fact that he is more of a promoter, than he is a fighter these days. He had only fought once in 2 1/2 years. Simply not active enough. However, even though I felt that Oscar won that fight. The fact that it was close enough to go to Floyd, and he got the nod... I give him a lot of respect.

    :rofl ODH was worn down and tired in both fights. He landed a big shot on Vargas after vargas was working him. Dont even talk about the quartey fight. They both were fighting on fumes from round 10 on. Try again.

    DLH did pretty good in the final rounds against these 2 fighters. Vargas
    was KO and the referee almost stopped the fight when Quartey was about to be ko in the final round. So, what are you talking about ?

    Pryor could beat him. Kostya would be a good styles matchup. I'm a big Tszyu fan, and while he could win, PBF would have to be favored IMO.

    right off the top of my head.. I'd probably go with Pryor. That would be a tough on.. I also have to put myself on that list as well.

    Duran is the most obvious answer.
