    Oscar always had problems with boxers with good speed and defense not to mention his stamina has never been great. Against PBF it would be no different PBF wins at 130, 135 & 140 at 147 Oscar has his best chance. PBF is simply a superior boxer to Oscar in every way except power.

    Oscar UD.

    A faster, sharper, and better conditioned Del La Hoya would beat Mayweather to the punch.

    Sure sure. :lol:

    The decline that has shown in Oscars speed, reflexes, quickness, hunger etc etc etc is huge since his prime. Floyd basically did nothing against him in their fight...and if one more person posts that same gif of him getting his knees buckled I'm gonna ****. Other than that Floyd wasn't able to scratch him. You don't think Floyd would have an even tougher time with a prime Oscar??? He BARELY won against the old version :deal :hi:

    First what you people like you keep forgetting is Oscar was past his best sure but PBF was far past his best weightclass as well. He was fighting at 154 for his first time at that weight I might add. He didn't look sharp there and still won by 8-4 on my card. If the fight was at 130-140 prime for prime PBF would hand Oscar his ass. PBF has Oscar beat in nearly every department lets take a closer look shall we.
    Speed PBF
    Defense PBF
    Footwork PBF
    Stamina PBF
    Heart Even
    Chin Even
    Power Oscar
    Ring Generalship PBF
    Counter-punching PBF
    accuracy PBF
    The same thing would happen prime for prime against Oscar he would be looking to land his big shot that night it might or might not come if he did land it PBF has shown a solid enough chin to be able to take it, since he did take some solid shots from Oscar in thier fight. Meanwhile PBF would continue to outbox Oscar and win the championship rounds.
    Oscar always wins polls like this because polls like these are nothing but popularity contests people dislike PBF so they'll pick against him even when it's clears as day he's the superior fighter.:deal Oscar's best chance would be at 147 because PBF was a much better fighter at 130-140 than he was at 147 or 154.

    Maybe the Calzaghe fans will tell us that , despite nearly being beaten by an old Oscar, Mayweather would easily beat a prime Oscar because a prime Oscar would fight more aggressively or whatever.

    If PBF would win the rematch easy why would not he make some $20
    millions easy in this rematch ? PBF knew that DLH would defeat him
    this time.

    I went for Oscar purely on the basis that prime Mayweather struggled to land, do damage and came away with a split decision against a guy who's well past his best years and fighting at an uncomofortable weight.

    De La Hoya by KO if the fight took place at welterweight. At that weight De La Hoya is just as fast, stronger, and harder-hitting. If an old Oscar could fight close with a prime Floyd than a prime Oscar would dismantle him.

    People here kill me with the excuses! He already clearly beat Oscar once in a weightclass he had no business in but they'll tell you Oscar was shot?? No he wasn't he was past his best but in no way in hell was he shot. Now they actually want me to believe a prime Oscar would somehow beat PBF prime for prime....please. Prime for Prime PBF is simply better, Oscar would still have to deal with the speed, the defense and the stamina issues.:deal PBF is the better fighter what will it take for you people to realize it?:-(

    Lack of conditioning was the main reason Oscar lost against PBF. In his prime Oscar would of kept on going without stopping. I was surprised at how competitive Oscar still is at this stage of his career.

    Remember it was PBF that came out busted up after the fight, even 50 cents was praising DLH afterwards. In his Prime Oscar would of took the decision.
