Who ranks higher on your ATG List. Oscar De La Hoya or Floyd Mayweather Jr

Oscar wouldn't have ever killed PBF. You don't just kill someone as ring smart and great defensively like PBF prime or not. It's not like Oscar had one shot KO power. Oscar has always struggled with speedy and slick guys.:deal

 

u forgot that floyd was smaller than oscar and let him set the rules n fought in a kid size ring. Oscar got plenty to even up the playingfield.

 

Exactly PBF fought Oscar on his terms for his first fight at weight in which he doesn't really belong.

 

Completely dependent on how much losses mean to you.. If losses mean a lot, it's Floyd. If losses don't mean much if against good competition, you have ODLH ahead.

 

What rules did Oscar set? Pretty sure they fought under WBC rules and the standard sized ring for Vegas.

 

you got to count a guys loss's its apart of his resume you can't ignore them that would be ignorant. You can't rank a guy lower because you think he ducked fighters. You rank them by who they did fight if they won or lost and in what fashion did they win or lose the fight. You go by what's on the PAPER.

 

No it is not a standard sized ring. that was negoatied. So was the glove size. Floyd wanted 10 Oz due to it might slow/tired him out. Oscar wants the 12 oz. Plus Floyd never fought at 154 and Oscar showed up with a nice size advantage and healthy unlike for Pac.

 

What was the ring size then? And at 12 oz gloves. I looked for a link and found nothing. Could you provide me a link.

 

Floyd was only a little 147 fighter he never filled out till he retired and came back and looked like a normal 147 fighter. When he fought oscar, oscar made him come to 154 so oscar had the size advantage over little floyd and reach and height advantage and was the stronger fighter, he was also still lightening quick. Oscar was still in great condition when floyd fought him. Calling him faded means as much as calling the current version of floyd faded.

Oscar taking full advantage of his strength advantage over floyd chose reyes gloves nicknamed (punchers gloves). Oscar chose the ring size which suited his game plan, he even had his name first on the promotional banners. Oscar got everything he could ever want in that fight.

Floyd came in the ring with the disadvantages and still won the fight and it wasn't as close as the floyd haters made out. Oscar missed a ton of punches and floyd blocked a lot of rally's from oscar which seem to get credited by judges because every time oscar 'the favorite' done something the crowd would go nuts. Floyd beat oscar in solid fashion you watch that fight in the present day and see it wasn't as close as SD at all AND that fight at 147 would be a whole other fight.

 

My work internet is heavily restricted due to "sensitive info". I get flagged for everything which i'm shocked why this site is not.... but you should find it in Floyd's interviews dealing with Oscar. Or better yet just youtube the match and watch another regular match. You can tell easily if u don't have any eyesight problems.

 

If they met at 147 A 90s Oscar would beat he and Hatton on the same night.

 

Yea i don't know about that. Floyd at 130-140 is 3x as good as 147-154 Floyd. A prime Floyd > A prime Oscar.

Floyd is like Michael Jordon, While Oscar is more like Scottie pipen.

 

Floyd, obviously.

 

When I watch Floyd in his prime he was basically fighting flawlessly. Oscar in his prime, showing that he is a bit one dimensional. Undeveloped right hand due to being a natural left handed. and he is just fight str8 up and down. I was watching Oscar vs Shane I the other day and both of them were just swinging away not even looking at their target trying to trade. Shows their durablility but outside of that i didn't see GOAT material. Now i'm expecting the mexicans/oscar fans going have a fit of what i said but hey is just how i see it.

Floyd in his prime made all his opponents l00k silly/outclassed.
Oscar in his prime made it an entertaining/competitive match.
