Mayweather would have beaten a prime ODLH and Trinidad at 147

This.

 

A prime Oscar takes a UD over Floyd. Floyd only beats him at 130 and 135.

A prime Trinidad would take Floyd out as well. Floyd could outbox him if 147 Floyd had the same lateral movement and legs that he did at the lower weights. But the fact of the matter is that 147 Floyd doesn't move around as much as the earlier, lighter editions. That bodes well for Felix.

OLD Oscar earned a SD young Oscar would have taped that ass I have always thought this

And young Tito was a wrecking ball and boxed really well and had an outstanding inside game, decent speed, legendary power If Mosely scored a hard right so would have Tito but like 5 x the power

Floyd is still my dude but Oscar was special although he lost all his big fights and so was Tito at 147 Floyd has not done much at 147 guys

 

Tito getting criminally underrated here....power, power,power.....he had more tools in his arsenal, and the one that went extremely well with his power was timing. His height, reach, and ability to punch with both hands spelled problems for anyone not running a marathon in the ring.

 

Way too small, especially if Trinidad has his special wraps on. You can make a case p4p, but h2h? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Floyd would get on the ropes, turtle up and shoulder roll and Trinidad would break his arms. Floyd had enough trouble with an ODLH that was at LEAST 55% diminished from his prime.

 

All Cotto's fights at 154 before Floyd had ended in stoppages - Foreman, Mayorga and Margarito (I know Pac had already tapped that eye)

Mosley had JUST stopped Margarito so to say he has no power is ridiculous, yes he wasn't prime, but who had a toothache and a vacation when the fight could have been made earlier?

I never said Ortiz was an elite fighter, but you can't argue that he wasn't a power puncher.

Hatton was in good shape for that fight you can't give that bull**** excuse 'but he wasn't a natural welter'. He put up a good fight with good foot movement and just got outclassed. Same thing would happen at 140.

De La Hoya was fighting at his comfortable weight even though past prime. At 147 prime for prime Floyd still wins this.

 

He barely beat post-prime ODLH. In my opinion he won that fight by the skin of his teeth.

 

Old DLH was beating Floyd easy just with jabs. If ODLH had not changed his game plan
and kept throwing jabs, he would have defeated Floyd easy. Floyd backed out from
a rematch.

:deal Floyd won on a split decision against an old DLH.
ODLH was winning easy over Floyd just with the jabs.
If dlh had not changed his game plan and kept throwing jabs
he had defeated Floyd. Floyd then backed out from a rematch.

 

I agree entirely.

Oscar was past his best, and he'd only fought just twice in three years.

All Floyd ever talks about is money. It's not a persona, he genuinely is obsessed with money. I've never heard a single interview (and I've listened to a hell of a lot) in the last 6-7 years, where he hasn't mentioned money, and being in the cash chequing business.

Did you hear Oscar directly after the fight, and the weeks that followed? He was so frustrated, and he was absolutely adamant that he could beat him in a rematch. He was absolutely desperate for it!

What did Floyd do, who's in the cheque cashing business? He turned down millions and millions of dollars to take a vacation!

He'd had a close shave and didn't like how Oscar was talking to the media.

He had no intention of cashing Oscar's rematch cheque!

Floyd's a hell of a fighter, but in my opinion, a mid to late 20's version of Oscar definetely beats him at 147.

We can't be certain though, that he'd have fought a peak Oscar at 147, had he had the opportunity.

I would pick him over Trinidad, DLH is a 50/50 fight.
