ODLH has the superior resume at 147lbs. His only loses coming via a disputed majority decision to a future HOFer in Trinidad and via a split decision to another future HOFer in Mosley.

On resume at 147lbs ODLH wins.

Prime versus prime at 147lbs ODLH didn't carry as much power as he did in the lower divisions. The best fighters he fought at welterweight all resulted in decision fights (Whitaker, Camacho, Quartey, Trinidad and Mosley, not counting Chavez since ODLH had already destroyed him at 140lbs and he was never really a welterweight) Of those 5 fights only one of them (Camacho) wasn't scored very close. Thus it is very unlikely that he would KO a defensive genius like Mayweather at that weight. IMO, prime versus prime would have been a very close decision win which could have gone either way.

Flip a coin, heads ODLH wins, tails Mayweather wins.

Mayweather is the better fighter but Oscar was a beast at 147... it's a coin flip like you said but the Mayweather haters act like because he might lose to DLH at 147, makes Mayweather legacy worse..

After page one, all I have to say is, who says Mayweather was in his prime in their fight? I think mayweather was alot slicker and more dangerous 5 years ago.
