    Did it occur to to you that at 140 pounds he is facing a better version of Floyd that is Pretty Boy Floyd PBF instead of the more conservative Money Mayweather.

    Same applies to Mosley what is Oscar better at than Mosley the only thing I can think of is marrying a nice girl like Millie Corretjer whilst Shane married that devil Jin.

    Split decision and a lot had Oscar winning. 11 months later, that same oscar was shown how old he was by Pac.

    You can quit now.

    You quit. Oscar fought Pacquiao at 147 pounds and weighed in at 145 pounds. Floyd kicked both Oscar and Manny’s arses so you can quit!

    Oscar looked much better as a light welterweight than Mayweather did.

    I will argue Oscar beats Mayweather prime for prime the same way I will argue Ross beats Oscar prime for prime.

    I have no affiliation.

    You will defend Mayweather against anyone, that is the difference.

    Do you really think so? Because I don’t at all. I assume you saw how he won the WBC Light Welterweight title against Arturo Gatti(May his soul rest in perfect peace) as well as the beatings of world champions Sharmba Mitchell And DeMarcus Chop Chop Corley at 140 pounds.

    No I call it like I see it. Oscar and Floyd are different fighters on different levels. One is in the argument for the best of all time and certainly the best of his era the other was not the best GM fighter of his era or even the best in his state which was Shane Mosley the best in California in their era.

    I couldn't care less what consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their bedrooms either. However, Oscar broke the cardinal rule and he took the fun and games to the kitchen and that's when things spill over into degeneracy. Rolling pins have a specific purpose and I'm pretty sure whoever designed them did not have that purpose in mind.

    Floyd also told me that he feels a prime Oscar would've knocked him out cold and that he thanks his lucky stars everyday that he fought the coke-ravaged inactive shell of him and not the prime version and that is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    A 60% Oscar pushed a near 100% Floyd to the wire so logically a 100% Oscar who hadn't only fought once in three years, hadn't been out for a year, was on a run of great form not 2-2 in his last 4 fights (should've been 1-3), and wasn't years past his prime would spark Floyd out cold in 2 or 3 rounds.

    Here's the funny thing. As big a fan boy as you are of Floyd I've probably seen more of his fights than you have.

    Using the Corley fight as proof of how good he was at 140 is a bad move.

    Oscar beat a prime Tito but the judges robbed him, prime Tito would be Floyd's best win had they crossed paths which of course they didn't and Floyd should thank his lucky stars for that too because Tito would've taken his head clean off with that savage left hook from hell of his.

    Serge you are a good man but you need to wake up from that particular dream. As for the activities outside the bedroom Oscar only has himself to blame after all there are no pictures of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr doing such even Jr won’t do that because Sr would deck him. If they had fought at 140 pounds as opposed to 140 pounds it stands to reason that Floyd would have taxed his arse more as he would be facing Pretty Boy Floyd not Money Mayweather who beat him easily enough.

    I have watched all Floyd’s fights and Oscar’s incidentally and I have no doubt who wins at all weights.
