    True. JCC Sr. would've beat Jr's ass with the same rolling pin albeit I'm sure he would've been picky about which end of it he held while he did so.

    You’re kidding yourself.

    An earlier version of Oscar was also a better fighter.

    Younger, sharper, more active.

    It’s a fantasy made up in your mind.

    There’s no logic in thinking Floyd would have put a beat down on him.

    On one hand, a faded Oscar ran a prime Floyd close. On the other hand, Oscar fell short in his biggest fights.

    60/40 Oscar for me.

    What does him not fighting Nelson have to do with Floyd?
    Trinidad fight was prob a top 3 robbery ever in a big fight. Floyd better at everything? You're trolling...u got me.

    A prime version of Oscar wasn’t Arturo Gatti.

    This is why you’re incapable of having an objective debate when it comes to Floyd.

    You’re so defensive of him, all logic goes out of the window.

    How could he have been at his best, when he was 34 and he’d only fought 3 fights in 3 years?

    You’re obviously not familiar with Oscar’s career.

    Except he DIDN’T did he?

    It wasn’t a comfortable win when they actually fought.

    Yep he took away his jab and made it redundant in the last half of the fight.

    Yes it was I scored it 116-112 that is 8 rounds to 4 rounds but it could easily have been 9-3.

    I’m having a small gathering later.

    Kindly drop me some of your LSD round.
