    against a Prime and conditioned DLH Floyd would have his moments but eventually get caught in the late rounds. DLH would TKO Floyd in the 11th or 12th. and so would Tito at 147.

    Underrating Floyd's chin???

    How does he get knocked out by a Prime Delahoya when he didn't drop Tito or Shane???

    Mind you neither one of them are on Floyd's level when it comes to defense.

    Mayweather would have won by decision... simply because he wouldn't risk trading with a prime DLH. He didn't risk trading with a shot DLH.. He would just pot shot and dance around...

    Prime DLH was a monster, people seem to have forgotten that lately because of the Pac shenanigans. DLH takes it in a clear but competitive fight.

    people forget DLH was very fast when he was in his prime. Mosley had the fastest hands since Taylor, and DLH was slightly slower than Mosley and not by much. Prime Mosley and Taylor have faster hands than FLoyd. I'll even say ODLH had faster hands than FLoyd in his prime.

    Since when has Oscar been a devasting body puncher. BTW Oscar has always had stamina issues prime or not PBF would alway be in better shape.

    Stop it you're making too much sense. These people kill me they always say someone will KO the best defensive fighter of his era. Not to mention PBF's chin has proven to be solid..****ing ridiculous.:-(

    Prime Dela Hoya trained by Alcazar with that baby bounce, it would be tuff for Floyd. Floyd is good but I think a prime Oscar would take him out.

    everthing could be argued but from what we did see from a past prime oscar vs FLoyd, was that when oscar used the jab he gave Floyd problems

    PBF gives Oscar hell prime for prime. Oscar has always had trouble with speedy and defensive fighters. Mosley beat him with speed alone and Pea clowned and dropped with speed and defense. PBF would be no different. He would move on Oscar's ass and tire his ass out by the championship rounds he would be spent. PBF by close UD is my pick prime for prime at any weight 130-154. PBF is the simply the superior boxer and he proved it last year.:deal

    Prime DLH would've beaten Floyd at 135-147.

    Despite his current BS, I gotta go with a prime De La Hoya over any version of Mayweather Jr. Though PBF

    have a slight advantage in stamina, the skill matchup would be very very close or even, speed would be very very close or even with size and heart advantage going to Oscar. ODLH wins a clear decision.
