    If he had won the gold medal he should've won?

    I dont know, maybe he would have been marketed a little differently and could have been a massive cash cow sooner and maybe certain things may have happened sooner

    I know his fights were televised and I know he was an arum guy but at some points he didnt always secure the big fights. Like maybe he would have been a cash cow sooner say he was the PPV draw he was in 2007 in 2004 instead. Maybe a fight with Mosley would have happened sooner, maybe the De La Hoya fight is made when Oscar is still at 147?

    I dont know how much different he would have been promoted or treated had he got gold. I dont know if he would have marketed himself any different or behaved different outside the ring.

    My guess is that it doesnt change a whole hell of a lot, maybe he just gets more exposure or makes a little more money

    If the Mosley fight had happened earlier then no doubt Shane would have taken him out,and no one knew that more than Floyd himself.
