    Yes at 147 easily.

    If Oscar came to down to 147 and fought Floyd, he would have stopped any version of him. Without those gay ass heavyweight balloons they were using as well.

    Floyd always wanted Oscar throughout his entire career, Arum wouldn't allow it.

    floyd won easily by 3-4 rounds. if he would've been more into it, it would've been even more lopsided. look at the mayweather-mosley bout, where floyd at times, realy gave his all, shane didn't have a chance.

    Oscar in his prime, or heck even a year earlier than when they fought would have beaten Floyd. Oscar's jab was catching Floyd all during the fight until he stopped using it. A prime Oscar wouldn't have gassed out / lost heart.

    DLH by decision over Floyd.

    If Floyd and Oscar had never fought, I think I'd probably believe that Floyd would win.

    However, considering the fight they did have, I'd have to back Oscar to win. That version of Oscar was years and years past-prime, and yet I still thought it was an extremely close fight.

    DLH's jab would always have caused Floyd massive problems, and the younger DLH had much better stamina and punching power than the one Floyd faced.

    Oscar. :bbb

    Floyd schools any version of DLH. The only reason people say that DLH was past his prime is because they want to discredit Mayweather's win. I watched the fight myself, and Oscar looked good in there. Nothing about the way he fought suggested that he had really lost anything, he just happened to be in there with a smaller but more skilled fighter.

    Biggest myth in boxing. Oscar landed a few jabs, missed a lot of them, Floyd neutralizes it completely, and instead of giving Floyd credit, people say stupid **** like "Oscar just stopped throwing it"

    Really? A 6 division world champion just suddenly decided to stop throwing a punch that was supposed to be working. GTFO with that ****. Thats what happens when you get schooled. A guy like Floyd takes something away from you and you have no clue as to why.

    ROFL Theory is fine. Jr hasn't taken any of the toughest fights available.So how will you ever know? It is much easier to look good when not under pressure. DLH fought anyone who was anyone in his peak years. Jr Would not have taken the fight.

    he was waaaay past it and still managed to give little Floyd trouble. Floyd by a 4 round margin? keep tellin yourself that... i had it a draw. and judge Roth is a dumb mother****er not giving the final round to DLH.
    Prime Oscar keeps his jab in Floyd's face all night long.
