    He has some good wins, like Canelo, but this one isn't a particularly good one. Was Oscar not shot and on Coke?

    7-5 Mayweather, he looked awful, barely scraped by an ancient DLH.

    You can also say had Floyd ever fought at 154? Was Oscar not the champ and the cash cow? Was everything not in his favor?

    I mean could nothing balance the fight? If Floyd had one arm and still won, is it because Oscar was old? When you dictated everything in the fight in favor of you and still lose, being past prime is almost an excuse...

    It's not an excuse. He was old and way past it. And I have no doubt he was doing all kinds of drugs. Never said he would beat Floyd if he was prime by the way, but he was shot and that's the Oscar Floyd beat.

    Oscar was past prime.. Floyd at a new higher weight, with Oscar's gloves, Oscar's ring, Oscar's holiday, and being the challenger.. The odds were in Oscar's favor by a landslide and he still lost.. That's like if Floyd was actually beat by anyone right now.. Floyd would get clowned and it wouldn't matter if he's 40 by some people...
