For the record, ODLH beats Mayweather prime for prime.

rewatch the fight

Oscar was getting outboxed from rounds 7 to 11. Round 12 could have been given to him if you're generous.

Oscar demonstrated ineffective aggression in the later half of the fight.

 

it doesnt matter who he fought . . . that was probably the tail end of his peak

 

Oscar couldn't beat Shane Mosley in his prime forget Floyd.

 

Ill rewatch it but you have to admit it was a well past it Dela Hoya.

Well Well past it.

 

Styles makes fights and I think PBF always had the style to give Oscar fits . . . I see Floyd winning 7 times out of 10

 

See Oscar is one of those guys who matches up well against Floyd imo.

A closer to prime version would have made it competitive. I think Floyd would ultimately find a way to make it a 7-5 or 8-4. Oscar wasn't reliable enough to make me believe he can clearly win 6 rounds let alone 7

 

In his Prime his Hands were faster he hit harder and he cut off the Ring better.

I mean theres a Huge difference between the Oscar we saw during the Mayweather fight to the Oscar we watched in the early 90's.

Hand Speed and Power are a huge difference.

 

Oscar looked good in the 90s because he was fighting nothing but bums and old shot fighters. When he stepped up he got his ass beat almost every time.

 

Oscar looked like crap against a coked out Whitaker. He is not beating Mayweather

 

Funny thing is you can say the exact same thing about Floyd.

And there is also a huge difference from the Floyd we saw in his 1st match at 154 and the Floyd fighting in a weight class he's comfortable in.

 

Close fight but I think DLH beats him.

 

Floyd Mayweather was also out of his prime in the De La Hoya fight. It's funny when people always say a fighter is shot or a bum after they lose to Mayweather. I bet no one was saying Oscar was shot when he was about to fight Floyd.

 

I had the 34 yr old Oscar losing 7-5 so I def see him giving him huge fits that's a given.Prime Oscar is tough for anybody,the version that fought juiced mosely would've likely beating him & pac so yes.

 

Floyd beats him in a competitive fight. Oscar had to many lapses. He would start off well then the entire fight would change. He was beating Mosley then Mosley completely out boxed him in the second half of the fight. Oscar was beating Quartey and got out boxed in the second half of the fight. The fight with Sturm was close then he got completely out boxed in the second half of the fight. The same thing with Hopkins although I don't hold it against him. Having lapses like that won't beat Floyd.
