    Neither Oscar nor Mosley ever ducked Floyd. It is true Mosley said his tooth was loose and he needed to see a dentist (not a toothache) but few people ducked Floyd - he was the biggest payday w low chance for getting beat-up.

    Prime Mosley KOs Floyd

    Not every fighter peaks at the same time. DLH peaked earlier in his career and the Floyd fight was kind of just another fight for DLH. For Floyd it was the Super Bowl and Floyd won, albeit narrowly (and ducked a rematch btw). Prime DLH at least draws or wins.

    Sorry I'm not throated on Floyd DNA like you

    As I have said try and use the BS as a comfort blanket. The truth is Floyd was better and better skilled than the other 2.

    Canelo turned pro at 15 years old. He fought as a pro when most (99%) are amateur. His first 30-35 fights were against literal cab drivers.

    There's a reason why Canelo went life and death w Trout and Lara at that time. Canelo just wasnt seasoned and most people cite GGG2 as the start of Canelo's PRIME.

    In some ways sure. But Floyd waited till Shane was 38 years old and pretty much drew against an over the hill DLH in addition to ducking the rematch.

    Floyd was a great fighter and its weird how posessive and defensive you are about him. Femboi? But Floyd against younger versions of Mosley and DLH likely yields different outcomes. Sorry if that hurts your feels bro/sis

    Not hurt at all because Floyd beats all versions of both guys. When you think they were at their peak the avoided Floyd when he fought them he taxed their ass. Only fools think Floyd vs Oscar was a draw. Throwing and missing don’t score points. Running out of gas does not help you in the championship rounds.

    Go back and watch the DLH fight. Floyd defended well but wasnt landing offense of his own either. A real narrow contest and 7-5 was a good, honest score. Both 6-6 and 8-4 for Floyd were stretches but feasible. Dont know the draw score upsets you.

    Younger DLH like Trinidad DLH is all bad for Floyd

    I scored it 116-112 that is 8 rounds to 4 rounds and that is being generous to Oscar. I watched it alongside my friend Evan Korn former journalist and Top Rank Executive who had it 9-3 in rounds to Floyd.

    Both Trout &Lara BOTH really beat Canelo So did GGG TWICE Now Bivol has schooled him , spanking him like a red headed obnoxious child that's 45-5 not 50-0

    Do you know the best description of Floyd I ever heard was from a young HS quarterback @ the Ms Sports HOF when he was shown Floyds pic He said " That's that funny little dwarf guy that fought The Big Show on WWE & had to borrow a pair of his shorts too, by the look of it " ROFL He honest & truly didn't know he was a boxer
