    Oscar could never beat Floyd. Its the same thing with Mosley. Floyd is just a different level fighter. Also front runners(Oscar) don't beat Floyd.

    Oscar pretty much made his legend off of what he was at 140, his career peaked before Trinidad. Too much speed, power, and heart for Floyd. Floyd has never in his career fought anyone like that Oscar.

    Floyd refused to fight slow Margarito because he was worried that he wouldn't been able to keep him off, he waited til Corrales was was on his way to prison and partying hard before taking that fight. The 140lb version of Oscar had all the qualities those guys had that worried Floyd and a few more.

    Loses all of the big fights?. Yeah oscar beat Vargas in one of the most memorable
    fights ever. Nice match up at 140. I think Oscars jab, speed, and left hook would
    Be effective enough to win a slit or majority decision. Oscar at lightweight stops
    mayweather in my opinion. I think mayweather is faster than oscar at 140 and
    would definitely be very slick but I see a few "rocket" left hooks being the difference.
    When mayweathers speed becomes too much de la Hoya will always find a home
    with the jab. Mayweather morales junior lightweight? Maybe ill start my first thread
    tomorrow peace

    He beat Whitaker, Vargas, Camacho, a faded but still capable Chavez, and should have gotten the decisions against Mosley (2) and Trinidad. He's won more of them than he's lost, for sure.

    LOL at morons saying that Mayweather was a potshotter at this weight. Mayweather was arguably at his peak in strength and speed at this weight.

    Oscar had 10lbs on a Floyd Mayweather who had just moved up from Junior welterweight, only had 3 fights at welter, had is own gloves, judges and small ring, and still lost a clear decision.

    And he's gonna beat a none bloated, outweighed Mayweather who is at his physical peak? :lol:

    I know you can't stand Floyd but be reasonable. When Floyd fought Oscar he had the body frame of a junior welter. He wasn't even bigger than Hatton. Floyd went up in weight and beat him 9-3 or 8-4. No way was that fight 7-5.

    Everyone Mayweather fought has outweighed him, is that an excuse for your boyfriend's split decision.
