    Of course you would say this cause it just make your lil floyd look better, but lets face it if they were the same age Oscar whoops his ass real bad.

    Those would be the DLH haters and we know there are plenty of those up in here.

    Look I say it because it's true. Oscar isn't shot like Castillo he can still compete with the best. How I feel about PBF is irrelevant.

    who at 154lbs and under would you favor over him? I would favor Shane and Winky if he comes back down...thats it.

    Yeah but hes no where near where he was at Floyds age (in his prime), so its a diminished DLH.

    There are a number of reasons PBF chose to fight ODLH. Chief among them were: DLH's age (34?), DLH's tendency to fade in the later rounds of a fight, and DLH's drawing power.

    If DLH doesn't fade, he wins the fight no problem. But DLH faded - as he always does - and PBF got the scorecards' victory.

    But if PBF faces a guy who can pin him on the ropes like DLH did and who doesn't fade, yes, PBF is beatable. At 147 (not 140), I don't think Hatton is going to be that guy.

    Everybody looks beatable at times because everybody is beatable. Floyd is no exception.

    Those who never lost or only lost after their prime...it could've been very different with a couple different judges, different circumstances, different era.

    ODH was not that good of a fighter in his prime. He had a big punch which was the left hook. If he did not land it, he did not win. You take floyd at 140 and ODH at 140 ODH would lose no question. The same mut principal this guy or that guy would beat whomever in his prime is bull****. ODH is 34 Floyd is 30. Hatton was 26 Tsyu was 36. That is a huge age difference. ODH/Floyd is not that far apart..Man haters come up with some str8 up crazy nonsense. ODH could not even beat an Old whitaker in his prime. He tried to box more and would of got beaten more easily.

    Mayweather didnt look beatable at all. He dominated the fight in my opinion. Fight was 8 to 4 for Mayweather.

    I agree that DLH was not a shot fighter when he fought PBF.

    But the peak prime DLH (who fought Tito/Chavez) would have beaten PBF at 147.

    Floyd looked beatable against DLH?

    One simple word: No.
