    By attempting to clear Floyd of cheating all Bob Bennett & the NSAC actually did was prove that they are as corrupt as he is. Wise up man

    NO You need to wise up. If there is proof of this BS allegations then prove it in court. Even Bob Arum and Pacquiao wont go there because they know Floyd did not do anything wrong except win the fight.

    If you really believe what you are saying, that Floyd did no0thing wrong, then so be it that is your choice. You pay your money you make your choice
    The sad part is though, you like Bob Bennett ,USADA & even Floyd himself, cannot offer up a legitimate reason why an ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ml of saline solution was administered to Floyd 24 hours before the fight.

    ...faster, Shane? :thinking: For a guy that was himself pretty well known for possessing the attribute (in spades), you DKSA speed from this side of the ropes, in a more analytical context.

    Stop being dumb. USADA issued the TUE, which absolved him of anything wrong doing. The commission chose to let it slide. USADA is a PRIVATE drug testing agency that Floyd hired. From a legal standpoint, there is nothing that can done.

    You don't think Floyd cheated? Floyd accused McGregor of cheating and using 8 fewer bags of IV fluids than he did. Floyd even said the IV use was illegal.

    Literally, Floyd accused McGregor of cheating using illegal IV fluids. That doesn't tell you anything?

    Wise up, idiot.

    You are the idiot as proven by your need to descend to insults. USADA, the NSAC, Floyd etc are all legal personalties that can be sued. if they did something wrong then seek satisfaction in court or shut it.

    Isn't he more friends with Oscar and more in his generation? And he beat him. Although from an observation point I think Oscar was better..

    I'm not following your debate, but you clearly did not watch or don't remember the fight very well.

    Oscar De La Hoya fought an almost perfect fight for Rounds 1-10 with round 4 being closer.

    In all those rounds Oscar landed the better punches, landed more punches, had much better defense, and controlled the tempo of the fight.

    In rounds 10-12 Oscar changed his tactic based on the instructions he got from his corner. He was lighter on his feet, he was flicking out jabs and the occasional right hand. Oscar had took the foot of the offensive gas pedal giving the illusion he was running when in fact he was employing the pot-shotting style that many fighters have used to win fights including the most famous pot-shotter FMJ.

    I had that fight 10-2 and sometimes 9-3 for ODLH.

    I watched the fight and I scored it clearly for Trinidad 116-113 and the judges agreed with me. Oscar ran because he felt the power in Tito's punches especially the left hook. Real Mexicans don't run against Puerto Ricans. Perhaps the judges and I understand how to score fights better than you.

    I think Oscar was a more painfull opponent. Beated guys to the punch while being in there faces.

    But better probably is a stretch, but it i get why a former opponent can say this. Gratz facing them both and a full list of greats.

    Well the version of DLH that Mosley fought is a far better fighter than the version of FMJ that Mosley fought.

    Mosley fought DLH when DLH was prime, but FMJ was old and past prime. If Shane wasn't ancient against FMJ he would have put him down after he stunned him really hard in that 2nd or 3rd round.

    So technically Mosley is actually really correct here. prime DLH was far better than past prime FMJ.

    Who wins? 2000 DLH vs 2010 Mayweather? Those are the fighters that Mosley fought. Of course he thinks DLH was better because DLH was in his prime.

    I would pick prime DLH.
