    No I don't. You needed to bring skin tone into an argument that has nothing to do with it. I find your views and comments to be offensive.

    In my view, you need to grow up. We were talking about boxing, not race, if you struggle to differentiate, it's your problem.

    It's a sport I love........to you it's obviously not.

    You ignored this post

    An old over-the-hill Oscar beat Void, but criminal judges gave it to Void by split decision. A prime Oscar would have knocked Void out.

    A prime DLH would have been too much for Floyd.

    Mayweather has a better skillset, but their fight told me that prime Oscar would outfight and outpoint Floyd. His jab would be Floyd's nightmare.

    Yeah it was you *****tard. Mayweather's performance against Hatton was one of the very best all-round performances of his career. Because Floyd has never fought all that often and because he often fought stiffs, he has had one of the longest primes of any fighter. Even against Mosley, I didn't see much evidence of decline. His feet are a bit slower now, but his handspeed and engine look as good as they ever did. *****tard.

    Floyd's good enough to trouble a prime DLH, but wouldn't win, he lacks the balls when the going gets tough.

    Oscar would go after Floyd non stop for the duration. Floyd would just spoil, grab and look for angles. Oscar would land the best shots and look more effective.

    Oscar's a thriller, Floyd's a bore. Oscar is a true warior, Floyd's just a highly skilled money grubber. If only Floyd could stand firm, soak it up and trade he'd be a great fighter, but he's the sports worst spoiler; too defensive and too worried about losing.

    An old, faded DLH went looking for a near prime Pac, where as Floyd don't seem to want it. Their differing approach to the sport says it all. Prime DLH edges Floyd in all departments bar defence.

    Floyd is a great boxer and his defensive / countering skills edge DLH, but not by that much.

    Prime Oscar also had sound defensive skills and he was a great counter puncher, however he also had a whole lot more.

    The skill set is close, but all round Oscar had far more and he proved it. Prime DLH would find a way to outwork Floyd every time.

    Oscar goes all out to win, Floyd goes all out not to lose. The warrior wins.

    Too much skill !!??? Floyd has great skills but prime DLH had skills to spare!

    Prime DLH was a force of nature in a way Floyd could never match. Oscar took every round he ever won, Floyd steals them.

    Seriously anyone who thinks oscar would beat floyd in his prime is deluded and should watch the fight again.
    Oscar had a good gameplan, had a great training camp, great trainer, all the support behind him, bigger purse, entering the ring 2nd, he had so much going for him that that version of oscar could have possible been as good as the prime oscar because he was in good condition and in good shape. Of course he gassed out but even prime oscar used to gas. The oscar that fought floyd was as good as prime oscar and you all saw how floyd made him look like a fool and how he tapped that ass.
    Even oscar admitted floyd is something special and he won easily, and claimed that floyd to be one of the best EVER. And still you come up with this bull**** on how oscar couldve beaten floyd in his prime, the proof is in the pudding, mayweather would beat oscar whatever the situation was.

    :lol: What in God's name does any of that have to do with what happened in the ring???

    And you must be ****ing kidding if you think that was as good as a prime Oscar. Oscar's prime was in the ****ing late 90s. You should track down some footage of him actually fighting, rather than making **** up while stroking your pole over your Floyd posters. :-(

    When they did fight it wasn't close but prime for prime would be interesting. People forget that Floyd was entertaining and didn't mind letting his hands go more when he was @ 140 and below. I think his hand injuries brought a lack of confidence in throwing more and also he may have been getting hit a bit too much for his likings. Oscar could box but like an earlier Floyd, he liked to be offensive too and actually more offensive than Floyd most of the times. Floyd has always been a very smart boxer and could find a way to get past a prime Oscar though if he did it wouldn't be easy. I'm not going to render Floyd "unbeatable" in fantasy matchups like everyone else does. Prime Oscar has a great chance to beat Floyd.
