    Floyd's win was better, because, he fought a better version of Oscar, on ALL of Oscar's terms, and in front of a mostly pro Oscar crowd.

    Pac's performance was better, and more dramatic, because no one expected it. But, he fought the worst version of Oscar ever. The performance was great...the win was OVERRATED.

    Floyd's face looked fine too me. I didn't say he never got hit, but he clearly outboxed DLH.

    Floyd won something like 7 rounds to 5. Talks of Oscar winning only 3 rounds just shows ignorance.

    What are you talking about!? Oscar was very dehydrated as Roach said it even. At least PBF fought him at a comfortable weight. And even in that fight Oscar was not in his prime.

    Floyd's face was all puffed up after the fight.

    It was a close fight.

    Floyd's face was fine except he did have a little minor puffiness to the top of his right eyelid I believe.

    Pacquiao's face was red and swollen after Clottey, does that mean that was also a close fight??

    He didn't even know why he "stopped throwing the jab" after the fight.

    Thats' clearly not what I'm getting at. Pac clearly dominated Clottey, anyone who watched the fight could see that. He shipped a few shots, hence his face being marked up.

    You insinuated that the majority of Oscar's work was parried, but he still managed to mark Floyd up.

    It was a close fight and few would have argued if it went Oscar's way.
