    You think Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya was exciting? A one-sided beating against a weight-drained fighter? You are very desperate to discredit Floyd by bringing this **** up. Point made.

    DLH vs Pacquiao?

    Maybe the first Mosley fight. But 2 was a tactical boxing matc.

    Trinidad? Most boring fight of DLH's career. Still a tactical masterclass.

    Whitaker and Camacho? Thats pushing it. The Whitaker fight was entertaining just because Whitaker was clowning the next golden boy of boxing as a shot coked out fighter. There still wasnt much action

    Floyd vs Emmanuel Burton was a good fight. So was his fight vs Judah.

    I don't think Floyd beating the **** out of Gatti 1 sided was very good, but I didn't knock the kid for putting it up.
    I also think Corrales was 1 sided and horrible, did I say that?

    I just pointed out the difference in big fights between the two. No need to be defensive.

    lol, dude I am not a big DLH fan, i'm just telling you he had more big fights than floyd.
    His career is more celebrated right now. Like it or not.

    Why defend Mayweather so relentlessly? Do you have his t-shirts or something?
    You guys seem more like you're trying to convince yourselves that he is the best thing going. I don't need to be convinced how good Floyd is by anyone except Floyd, when he takes harder fights.

    DLH had more big fights then any fighter in the history of boxing. He fought everybody, alot because he was fearless and alot because he was rich enough and popular enough that everyone wanted to fight.

    As for whos career is more celebrate, Oscars career is extremely underrated. Right now many believe Floyd to be a top 40 ATG and Oscar not even in the discussion. Bieng a big Mayweather fan and a so so Oscar fan there is a case that Oscar should rate higher then Mayweather, but thats not the mainstream perception.


    You say you were a mayweather fan, but honestly I dont think you ever liked him, nor watched many of his fights.

    The only Crackweather fight i would have in my top 200 fights is his fight with N'dou,some of his fights at 130 were good too cause he was more offensive minded than he is now .

    Above 130 most of his fights are just garbage.

    I dont think he was either. He doesnt seem to know much about Floyds career.

    To be fair, I dont think Floyds comp has been bad at all, infact one of the best today. It just doesnt stack up to the guys he compares himself to, or even rates himself above.

    Signing to fight Judah when Judah was still undisputed champ, ODLH at 154 when ODLH just destroyed Mayorga, Hatton(though dragging him to 147 was a ***** move) and now possibly Pac. All very good choices of opponents. I disagree with Baldo, Gatti & JMM but everyone has their easy money fights.

    even though the Corley fight is also a very good fight which is a surprise considering that Corley has been involved in some of the worst fights ive ever seen(his fight with Judah for example)it was too one sided from the sixth round on, the Ndou fight was one sided too but it was fought at a faster pace and Ndou tried harder than Corley did,it also had a great finish and one of the rounds (dont remember if its the fifth or sixth)is by far the best round in fraud's career.
