    Looking back this is the biggest victory in boxing history. Floyd didn't just get the W, he took everything from Oscar! The JMW title, the PPV record, the glory, the popularity, the fan base, the money, the #1 spot in the sport....not long after Floyd beats GBP entire stable, he takes Oscar's company, his partner Richard Schaefer, and most of his fighters are now TMT!

    It's no wonder Oscar is so bitter, Floyd has done a number on him...Oscar wanted to be the top guy, most celebrated fighter of the era, Floyd turned that into dog sh-t! All Oscar got left is #45 and Ring Magazine, which last I checked nobody respects anymore...

    Bob Arum in retrospect was smart to not do business with Floyd after he left Top Rank. Otherwise Floyd would of beat Bob's entire stable and ruined his company to! Look at Pacquiao pre and post Mayweather....reduced and demoralized.

    I honestly think the Mayweather loss sent DLH into his tailspin of alcohol and drug abuse. DLH is a fake.

    Yeah I agree the judge that scored it for Oscar was way off, unanimous for Floyd

    Floyd demoralizes them with "the art of fighting without fighting".
    He spanks them so lightly they have to go seek their thrills (or frills) somewhere else, and they will all end up wearing lingerie most probably.

    Floyd shows them that we can have a boxing match and no one needs to hurt each other.
    Floyd says : We can cuddle and punch each other on the gloves. It's no h0mo, it's just business. It's safe boxing. We don't have to worry too much about AIDS, there is not going to be enough blood spilled.

    Like MLK junior said "little girls holding hands with each other".
    And pretty boys too. And boys that like to dress up as girls, said Oscar.

    Floyd proves : We can have boxing without aggression !
    Others merely said "STOP THE VIOLENCE !"
    Floyd demonstrates that ethos in the boxing ring.
    Floyd is a scientist.
    Floyd is like Galileo, who showed the earth orbited the sun. Or was it Copernicus. Or perhaps it was Roger Mayweather.
    Floyd showed that boxing is not violent, boxing is not combat. The idea (boxing = combat sport ) has been exposed as non-scientific superstition by Floyd.
    There's been a paradigm shift, as Thomas Kuhn would say.

    Floyd said : If you want violence, you can always go home and punch a female in the face. In the privacy of your own home ... or at her sister's house.

    Oscar turned to cocaine, maybe to get a bloody nose doing enough coke. He was in meltdown, he couldn't handle the FACT of non-violence in a boxing ring.

    You guys don't have a clue LOL. Oscar's was already struggling with drugs and at the end of his career and somehow managed to only lose by 1-2 rounds! This fight actually made Oscar look good and floyd bad considering how washed up everyone knew Oscar was! Floyd didn't take over the PPV spot until oscar retired following the Pac fight.
    As for that fight, it was a similar fight to oscar facing Hopkins, more of an event than an actual fight. I don't think Oscar at that stage of his career really felt like he was going to win and wasn't some big blow to him at all. It was the Trinidad and Mosley 2 fights were Oscar's biggest losses and by far affected him the most.
    But the biggest take away, is the fact Floyd wouldn't rematch him yet there was a rematch clause in the contract which they had to fight within one year, and instead Floyd retired exactly 1 year later to avoid having to face oscar again! LOLOL:patsch Now that is pathetic.

    What did Oscar prove post Mayweather? What did he do to demand or even deserve a rematch? . ...snort coke and wear fishnets perhaps?

    LOL He almost beat Floyd #1, a fight Floyd was losing until the 8th or 9th round. Floyd won solely based on Oscar slowing down, but when both were fresh oscar was winning the fight. And of course, most importantly, IT WAS IN THE CONTRACT! So instead of honoring the contract, Floyd retired to avoid another fight. Which when you think about it, why in the world would floyd avoid fighting oscar again, when he was by far his biggest pay day? Floyd is all about the money but as any non delusional fan knows, Floyd knew it was too risky for his legacy so he opted out of it and retired. Same BS why Floyd wouldn't face Manny 5 years ago. Floyd fights for the money, but only if he is 100%sure he will win. If he's not, he won't fight.

    lol Mayweather wanted more money in the second fight and Oscar didn't want to give it to him so Mayweather "retired". Mayweather knew a second fight with Oscar was easy money. When have you ever heard the winner of a fight asking for a rematch in the in-ring interview? Mayweather even threatened to fire Roger for training Stevie Forbes to fight Oscar saying Roger was messing with his money. The Forbes fight proved Oscar was shot. No one was afraid of Oscar but Mayweather being the diva that he is, pulled out of the fight in a hissy fit because Oscar wouldn't renegotiate.

    Very good post, dead on. Oscar's M.O was to fight THE BEST fighters out there regardless of anything. Even when he wasn't his best, he still tried to fight THE best. Its amazing how little credit he gets from some people. But when you actually look at his career, only one man ever beat Oscar at his best and that was mosley in their first fight by 1 or 2 measly points! A fight oscar tried to brawl and go right at shane instead of boxing, which he would have outboxed shane without much problem as he did in the rematch. but oscar was all about giving the fans a great fight and realized in the final few rounds vs Tito, that style wasn't fan friendly and changed it up to please, even though he was walking into the lions den doing so. He took some monstrous bombs from shane in the final couple rounds in that fight, shots he didn't even see coming yet still came forward and brawled. When you take everything into consideration, there wasn't a better guy to watch, he gave you your moneys worth and little wonder why he was the first non heavyweight PPV king.

    I think you have it the wrong way round Floyd slurpy boy.

    Oscar has respect for laying it on the line again and again.

    Floyd wanted the bigger cut in a rematch, he stated he will never be the B Side again, he proved his point...Floyd should of got the bigger cut had a rematch happened. Floyd sold the fight, Floyd was the attraction, history had proven Floyd is a bigger draw than Oscar.
