    Mayweather for me.

    His performance in the first fight was iffy, I think a top performance from Floyd would see him win UD 116-112 x 3.

    How can anyone think Mayweather can beat a prime Oscar when he came close to lose to an
    -old, over the hill
    -flat footed, less mobile
    -inactive, ineffective, inaccurate
    -bad conditioned
    -slower (both handspeed and reflexes)
    -less powerful
    -more hittable Oscar
    -who abandoned his jab
    -his great movement
    -his effective aggressivenes and effective boxing moving backwards
    -some old defensive techniques

    Also, ironically, at 154 Oscar always looked worse compared to his SFW/LW/LWW and WW days than Mayweather...



    The reality IMO is that a prime Oscar beats a prime Mayweather by UD at any weight class and IMO the higher the weight the more chance Mayweather would have since he adapted to the new divisions better than Oscar. Also the reality is close fights at all weight classes, so I don't expect a shutout or anything - but the Oscar jab, the former accuracy, the better condition and the better movement would make DLH a favorite in his prime...

    I'd say prime floyd by UD 115-113. floyd didnt appear to try that hard in the first fight against oscar, it was like he was using 70% of his abilities. if he really had to tryed to beat the **** of of oscar i fink the score diffence would have easily been larger. he would have take about 5 of the last 6 rounds easily.

    Oscar, possibly by KO. When Oscars speed was little better his jab would have been Floyds kryptonite.

    An old, inactive, "only for the money" Oscar pretty much beat him, a PRIME Delahoya would beat him very convincingly...so would a prime Mosley.

    Agreed. PBF didnt want to fight Mosley a few years ago as Sugar Shane was too strong. And a prime DLH wins UD over Floyd

    DLH would win; Probably ODLH would have won the rematch also, since
    the first fight was just only two points difference for PBF and old DLH
    has made the proper adjustment to win the rematch.

    what makes you think floyd hasnt made adjustments also to win more convincingly...floyd won easily the first time and would have won easier the second dont let floyd retirement fool you into thinking different...prime for prime...floyd decision
