    I agree that Floyd won clearly, but it has to be said that Floyd's own father Floyd Sr was interviewed after the fight and he is on record being conflicted about who won and he even said he thought DLH won "on the points system". Now granted Floyd Sr did train DLH and he was at odds with his son, but the fact still remains that Floyd's own father pretty much stated that he thought DLH won the fight. :lol:

    So that seems to be where the controversy was. The fact that 1) it was a split decision, with the winning score for Mayweather a very close 115-113 and 2) Floyd's father was very conflicted over who won and pretty much suggested he thought DLH won.

    You could say it was only controversial due to how close the scoring was when in reality it was a clear Mayweather win, which I saw as well. But with his own father going with DLH as the winner, that certainly created some additional controversy.

    I haven't contradicted myself at all you've just gone completely off topic, i said ODLH vs Mayweather wasn't that close which it wasn't. And i said i scored it 8-4 which is a perfectly reasonable score, which you then replied by saying "i'm biased" when infact your suggestion of ODLH vs Mayweather being a draw is alot more biased than my 8-4 scorecard.

    The other fights you mentioned were controversial fights with one of them being a robbery, so i fail to see how any of those fights are relevant to ODLH/Mayweather when infact ODLH vs Mayweather was not that close neither was it controversial.

    As for Canelo's fights with Trout and Lara again two close fights which Canelo won due to his power punches, the knockdown vs Trout won him a close fight, and his power punches vs Lara who was too defensive and not willing enough to fight also won Canelo the fight.

    I don't see how i've contradicted myself at all, Canelo won two close fights which he has a perfectly reasonable case to winning.

    What false narrative ? i've gave you actual facts regarding Clottey's career did i not ? i never said he was an amazing fighter. I said he was a good fighter, and it was a good win on Margarito's resume against a fighter who was considered the dark horse of the division for quite a few years.

    Just answer me this was Mosley's performance vs Margarito considered his best performance in years yes or no ?



    Well that's not always true look at Foreman and even Pacquiao who wasn't a defensive fighter he had a tremendous win at the age of 40 vs Keith Thurman, i still don't understand your last point about Pacquiao going the distance vs Rios which suggests he's past it ? as i said Pacquiao went the distance 15 times at Welterweight.

    Neither Pacquiao or Mayweather were at their absolute peak but yet you don't say the samething for Mayweather, it's only Pacquiao that was apparently past his prime and not Mayweather.

    It wasn't a fender bender..... it was a head on collision look at the damage and the article describes it as "Horrific car crash"

    https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1274371/errol-spence-jr-car-crash-terrence-crawford/

    The only one who started discrediting is you my guy, you said Canelo was "green" when he was 42-0 with 7 world championship wins and being top 10 P4P fighter. And no mention of Mayweather being in his late 30s and fighting above his best weightclass

    You claimed Pacquiao was past his best and yes he wasn't at his absolute peak, but was still fighting at a high level beating world class opposition with ease. And Mayweather also wasn't at his peak so it's the samething.

    As for me discrediting Crawford's win over Spence ? all i'm giving you is factual statements. Yet you want to give Crawford 100 percent credit for his win over Spence despite all the evidence, yet discredit Mayweather's wins over Canelo, Pacquiao, don't make much sense to me but please yourself.

    Well as you said Mayweather Sr was beefing with his son and he trained ODLH so it makes sense why he would say that, i don't think many unbiased boxing fan would believe ODLH earned or draw or came close to beating Mayweather. The first 6 rounds were competitive after that Mayweather took over the fight.

    Floyd Sr was still in Oskee's training camp in coming fights IIRC - Daddy just staying in the good books.

    Floyd was fat and sluggish making 147 against JMM?? Get the eff out with that Turbo. You know that isn't remotely true. So why invent a lie like that?? JMM was NOT perfectly in shape at 144. Seriously...WTF?? Why do you do this??

    Right, but it was still shocking to hear out loud. :lol:

    And it certainly created some controversy or at least for people who thought it was a clear win to reconsider how close it was, especially when you consider how close the scores were.

    I agree that the first 6 were close then Mayweather took over, mainly because DLH notoriously abandoned the jab and gave away rounds trying to load up with a big shot, but somehow it ended up as a split decision, and not only that but the winning score only 115-113. AND you had Floyd's own father suggesting that DLH did enough to win. So yes you can attribute Mayweather Sr's comments as being due to him beefing with his son and training DLH, but again, all that aside, Floyd's own father still suggested DLH did enough to win which was shocking to hear.

    What I mean by that is - if someone was arguing a fighter clearly won, but someone else countered and said the man's own father said he lost, that would be like something that would normally carry a lot of weight.
