    Like I said before if you seriously think that Oscar deserved that split you're out of your ****in mind.

    Don't think that it was even close ... prime or no prime doesn't matter - a fighter like DLH would never be able to beat Floyd Mayweather.

    Oscar's only 4 years older than FLoyd ... how is Oscar sooo old?

    Like I said in a previous post ... in the second fight w/ Oscar ... Shane stopped throwing punches around the 8th round. He had so many periods of inactivity in that fight it made no sense. Then istead of taking the win and using it as leverage ... he discredited himself and was convinced the fight was fixed. He never knocked Oscar down nor did they hurt each other one bit ... it was a brawl for 24 rounds w/ alot of shoe shines and meaningless flurries ... it wasn't a matter of boxing ...

    It was entertaining - but not the least bit of boxing ...

    No he wouldn't. I don't agree with posters who say that Floyd beats him at any weight either, but Oscar has problems with movement and speed. Not to mention he gasses out and leaves himself for late round sweeps by the guys he fights. Everyone knows that.

    You're out of your rabbit ass mind! PBF would have always given Oscar fits. Oscar has always had problems with guys who were faster of both hand and foot. PBF would always be the faster fighter of the two regardless of weight. Oscar also has struggled with people with excellent defense see the Pea fight for reference. In that fight he was clowned, dropped and given a gift over a faded Pea. Lastly he would always struggle over 12 rounds with his stamina even in his prime, and agaisnt PBF who is a 15 round fighter I might add it would only make it even worse. PBF would tire Oscar out with his superior, speed, movement and countering and Oscar would fade down the stretch on cue with PBF sweeping rounds 9-12.:deal
    PBF will always be remembered as the better fighter he's 1-0 H2H about to be 2-0 and quite simply he's the better overall fighter deal with it Oscarsexual.:hi: He owns golden fishnets between the ropes.:deal

    I would like to address a few things that were said in this thread, so here goes:

    For starters, Floyd beating the linear title holder Baldomir means nothing, and I am NOT saying this because I am a hater... I am older and wiser than that and have been following this sport for long enough to be above such petty bickering and mud slinging. The linear title holder is not necessarily the best fighter of the division, and Baldomir was a perfect example of that so for those of you who are trying to make this out to be some kind if meaningful victory for Floyd look foolish doing so.

    Baldomir was made to order for him, he is slow of both hand and foot, does not know how to cut off the ring effectively and is not really a puncher per se. Floyd was supposed to win that fight and he did just that against a limited foe, although the manner in which he won left a lot to be desired as while I did not expect Floyd to engage his foe, I did not think he was going to run a marathon either.

    Now as for Floyd severing his ties to Arum to further his career, it made sense from a business standpoint and I do not begrudge him for it... this is a brutal sport after all that has seen far too many former expugs down on their luck after days were over and Floyd took matters in his own hands to make sure that didn`t happen to him and I respect that. But with that said, his actions since going on his own have clearly shown themselves to be purely for maximum reward versus minimum risk, and to the true boxing fans like myself and others here that is a major disapointment.

    Floyd is a talented fighter and would have fared well in any era, although I do tend to think he is grossly overrated by many of the younger posters here whos knowledge of former greats is clearly rather limited if not altogether non-existant. Floyd can fight almost anyone in the welterweight division at this point and make good money since he has become a household name thanks to DLH, but he has seemingly no interest in doing so and if he wants it that way that is fine.

    But if that is the case he has no right to place himself in the same pantheon of former greats who unlike him sought out the best available competition to prove that they were the best... he can`t have his cake and eat it too if he is choosing to take the path of least resistance. If you proclaim yourself as the best fighter in your division and the whole world as Floyd likes to, than you have to prove that in the ring against worthy opponents and he hasnt done that.

    I know this post of mine will get attacked left, right and centre by many of Mayweathers most ardent supporters and that is fine as I am not concerned about what some teenyboppers have to say. But for any of them to deny that Floyd has taken the path of least resistance since his move up to 140 is laughable. His comp at 130-135 is another matter and I am not questioning his resume there, but for the past few years he has not exactly endeared himself to the true followers of this sport with his antics and it looks like it will stay that way for some time to come if not for the rest of his career.

    I know he is popular within the black community (not all mind you, I know many who cannot stand him) and the inner city youth and hip hop scene who relate to his whole bling bling nonsense and whatnot. But for the rest of us we expect more from the so-called best fighter in the welterweight division, as one poster said before me it is one thing to say you are the best, and another thing altogether to prove in the ring and he hasn`t done that.

    Here's a simple question. WHY wouldn't he just give an answer? Was it top secret? You probably believe Floyd got 20mill from WWE as well...

    That's basically what it comes down to. The Mayweather fanboys on this site are pretty unintelligent. NOthing but parrots...

    Since you just started watching boxing recently, Floyd took a 'break' right after Castillo up till Judah.

    I'm not going to go back and fourth check my previous posts and come up with a quote longer than a sentance.

    He fought 6 times ... 2wice defending his lightweight title ... 2wice in title eliminators at a higher weight ... 1nce in a title fight ... and another in a tune up in a higher weight class - en route to another title fight ...

    was he just supposed to fight title fight after title fight while going up in weight ... you have to see how your body adjusts against a ranked opponent in that division - then you go for the big fish after you assess you performance.

    But a PBF hater who constantly calls the #1 P4P boxer in the sport a fraud and a coward like Ram is?:patsch Like a another poster pointed out hating and not recognizing accomplishments is much worse.:deal You're discrediting the sport as whole when you do so. By his logic I guess all 39 fighters PBF beat were frauds as well.:-(
