Shane as well.....I think that DLH in his prime and Shane in his prime would have beaten Floyd. I think it would have been very close fights all the same but based on DLH performance against Floyd in his prime.....I'd have to favor DLH which means Shane too I'd have to favor given Shane was able to best DLH legitimately once. I think Manny at the moment along with BIGGER very talented men like PW and Martinez could beat Floyd. Manny is Floyd's sole competition at 147. At 154 Floyd faces BIG guys with problematic styles. One being a fast southpaw...the other a very tall, non stop pressure fighter with LONG arms.
so mosley was talented enough to beat floyd too right? The title of this thread is "Oscar was the only one talented enough....." So the thread starter is full of ****.
Nah man....not accurate about DLH at all. If that were true DLH wouldn't have been remotely compettive and would not have beaten a fraction of the opponents he got victories against. DLH isn't a one handed fighter either...he's just domiant with one hand. Fully capable of hurting and potentially KOing with either hand....especially the left.
The DLH who fought whitaker would have iced floyd by the 8th round. In fact, floyd would have been destroyed. Floyd is not mobile enough at WW to handle a legit WW threat.
Prime Mosley IMO gets edged out by Mayweather because of the style clash,Shanes lack of a solid stiff jab. IMO no fighter without one loses to Floyd Jr.
well let me put it like this mu****as. Oscar wasn't the only one wit talent to beat floyd. And after watching the oscar floyd fight at least 9 times. I still scored it 8-4 each time. Can't see it any other way or even see how it was a damn split decision. Floyd did some very beautiful inside work against oscar, alot of the **** was so quick you had to slow mo it to see it. Oscar was just smothering, and I guess thats what decieved alot of people; which is a good tactic by the way. But other people that floyd fought who had talent to beat him were. they jus didnt have the smarts: diego corley castillo judah mosley Not just oscar as the dumb ass thread starter said.
name one slickster that oscar beat convincingly, do it!!!!!. please dont say sweet pea either. because sweet pea made oscar look like he was in the ring with the invicible man. You can't beat a slickster with one hand.
Diego, who was going to prison and still running to make weight the day of the weigh in. Corley who has been beaten every time he stepped up. Castillo who actually beat floyd in the first fight. Judah who has beaten only bums and spinks at 147. Mosley was almost 39 years old and hadn't fought in 17 months. None of those guys were in a prime position to beat floyd. There were more credible threats out there.
If he has issues with money then he will most likely fight by then, otherwise he's too smart to do it if he's financially secure and good.
We are talking about having the talent to do so. This is not a discredit floyds wins by making **** excuses about the people he beat thread. diego getting into trouble like an ******* and getting ready to go to jail does not negate the fact that he had the talent to beat floyd mu****a.
