    I normally wouldnt comment, but i liked this statement. Oscar if you looked back lost more times than not when he fought big fights. ie. Mosley x2 Trinidad, Hopkins (cant blame him for that one Hopkins too big) IMO Sweet Pea beat him too. Oscar was a really good fighter, but not the beast peeople seem to remember him as.

    And yes Oscar only won 4 rounds against Floyd, and thats being generous. And no, the outcome would not have been different "if Oscar was in his prime" Floyd would have still been faster, more accurate, and just as hard to hit...

    the only chance you would see him lose is if he fought somebody at 160 plus. just proves how he has every division below 160 on lock!
