    I thought Floyd beat a faded Oscar by a split decision ,thats far from an ass kicking.

    No it does not and actually fighting the best can bring out the best in the special ones. Ali versus Frazier to name a few. The judges and I gave it to Trinidad and perhaps the fact I am in boxing and have fought means I know maybe a little bit about it. As for the wrong side of the debate please check the scores and you will see you are on the wrong side of the debate. I suspect you and Oscar have certain things in common.

    yeah, you and George Foreman both boxing geniuses because you've been in the ring lol.. I think you got hit in the head way too often. Dummy.

    I was in Vegas for it and had it 6-5-1 Mayweather.

    It was a lot closer than HBO had it IMO. Oscar gave Floyd a nightmare in several rounds and Floyd was credited for hitting gloves a lot.

    De La Hoya's defence was excellent but he just got picked off a little too much in the second half.

    One of the judges (I think it was Roth) gave Trinidad three of the first four rounds, which makes him a complete and utter ****ing idiot, pal.

    You having fought does not mean you can score a fight better than your average fan.

    I'd agree with this. Oscar fought better opposition, but Floyd has won all of his 'big' fights, whereas Oscar failed 5 times on the biggest stage (I'm not counting PAC, he was well past it by then). The Mosley losses, regardless of certain circumstances, are a blot on his legacy. They're very close, in Legacy terms, but Floyd just shades it for me.

    Oscar BEAT more atg's than Floyd ever faced, and at least two of his losses are utter bull****. Stupid point. Mayweather could barely handle a nearly totally defanged ODLH. He'd get knocked out of the ring against a live Oscar.

    You are clearly the Dummy. The fact you can denigrate fighting men like the great George Foreman says it all really. Your boy friend or heart throb was a talented and popular fighter unfortunately his popularity outweighed his talent. Sad but true. PBF would beat ODLH at any time because he is stonger mentally and a far better and superior technical fighter. I have seen a lot of the so called Golden Boy. In my view he was a very good fighter but fell short of greatness.

    I think they're assuming Tito was a win. And don't forget prime Mosley :deal

    And comparatively, JCC and Pea > Oscar and Shane

    FWIW, I voted Floyd because he's undefeated which is pretty ironic
