Better resume Mayeather or De la Hoya

It was never specified.

 

Floyd has tested himself against the best. he cant fight everybody bro. Just because Floyd doesnt have a close fight doesnt mean he didnt fight anybody. Castillo was one of the best lightweights the last 15 years bro, and he took that fight as his first fight at that weight. Would've liked to see him beat the crap out of Cotto...Yeah but it didnt happen. to say Margarito or Cotto or Williams are the toughest fighters of this era his a LONG stretch bro. Once Pacquiao takes the test and Mayweather beats him nothing else matters, just hopefully it goes down spring next year

 

Your argument would work if DLH's resume was light years ahead of Mayweather like your other examples but unfortunately that isn't the case. Nobody is comparing Duran and Ottke because it's not a relevant comparison. Mayweather and DLH is relevant despite DLH clearly having the better names on his card. Mayweather being undefeated after 20 or so championship fights against world class competition in 5 weight classes is a feat that Ottke never accomplished. Mayweather also went up to DLH's weight class and beat him which is another reason why these two are forever linked.

With that said, I don't expect a cookie cutter ******* like yourself to understand. You look at names only on boxrec and parade around like you know what you're talking about. Most fans consider all of the circumstances surrounding a fight and a performance before judging it and comparing it to others and not "Cotto, Margo wins are better than anything Floyd has done" which is typical from people like you.

Class is in and you are schooled

:vonnecunt

 

I would say both and that means its still mayweather for me. Yes I give props to DH fighting all those fghters he fought but the biggest ones he lost. so I give Mayweather the upperhand. Corrales,Castillo,Mosley,DLH,Hatton he all won

 

:good:good

 

I dont know how many times I have to say it. Resume is who you BEAT. Not who you lose to. Would you put a job done on your resume that you got fired from? atsch



Did Oscar fight better competition? Yes. Did he beat better competition? No.


Clearly Mayweather has the better resume.

 

This is the correct RESUME for both fighters.

Mayweather:


Mosley
Marquez
Hatton
DLH
Judah
Baldomir
Corley
Castillo
Jesus Chavez
Corales
Manfredy
G. Hernandez
Gatti

De La Hoya:


Mayorga
Forbes
Sturm
Vargas
Castillejo
Leija
Oba Carr
Quartey
Gatti
Whitaker
Camacho
Julio C Chavez




Its close. But its clearly a close but clear win for Mayweather.

 

I am surprised it is this close. Oscar's resume is much better, not his wins but his resume and the names on it. Whitaker,Chavez,Tito,Hopkins etc.

 

I sincerely doubt Whitaker was Pound 4 Pound number 1 at this point. He was coked out and struggling with medoicre competition like Hurtado and Rivera.


Whitaker was nowhere near his prime.

Sorry where is Whitaker number 1 or number 2 at? You werent making that **** up were you?

 

By these standards, it's still clearly DLH.
Mayweather's best wins were over 10 years ago. Castillo and Corrales. He hasn't fought anyone at that level and in their prime since.

DLH beat guys like that (Genaro Hernandez, Rafael Rueles, John John Molina, Jesse James Leija, Miguel Angel Gonzalez) on his way up to fighting the elite like Pernell Whitaker, Ike Quartey, Felix Trinidad and Shane Mosley)

Mayweather fought guys like that then hand picked people he knew weren't that good or way past their primes, and never stepped up to fight the elite.
