    Tito is without a doubt, dlh is debatable but still i'd bet on dlh winning just not positive about the stoppage or not as floyd still has that unique defence where he can pick where to place his shots so its 70/30 in favour of dlh for me

    the same reason I picked a prime Hopkins to do a number on Calzaghe

    DLH on his best night at 147 beats Floyd on his best night at 147. Very close though.

    Floyd beats DLH at 140,135,130 IMO.

    You obviously haven't seen Whitaker fight at all. He and Floyd are nothing alike in terms of style. An Oscar-Floyd fight would be totally different. And FYI, Sweet Pea lost against Oscar, so a "similar job" would be a defeat. :patsch

    A washed up DLH was competitve against a prime Floyd so NO.

    it was an obvious robbery sweet Pea showed that he had the abillity to beat him just not the stamina to carry out his plan (ala hopkins vs calzaghe), sweet pea on many occasions stood infront of oscar and slipped and dodged his punches then counter punch off the ropes very similar to what mayweather does

    DLH gets schooled again, Mayweather outlanded him by 2-1, thats a schooling. DLH still has to bring the fight to Mayweather and he is too robotic to outbox DLH.

    DLH was technically worse in his physical prime, with a worse defense getting outboxed by Quartey and Old Whitaker

    Tell me what DLH does better???? Power and height/size but thats it

    I literally could not agree more with your point, I have been saying the exact same thing (about Whitaker-DLH and Hopkins-Calzaghe) for months. :happy

    But the fact is it was a close fight, definitely not a "robbery" at all. I believe Oscar deserved the win by a point or two, despite the fact that Whitaker showed he had more ability on the night. Unfortunately for him, you don't win fights for showing skills, you win fights for edging more rounds and winning more points.

    However, Mayweather does not stand in front of opponents slipping and dodging like Whitaker does - especially not the 147 version of PBF. He fights in the pocket, rolling and countering. His style is nothing like Sweet Pea's, so IMO there is no relevance or connection here.

    You lose credibility with **** like this and can't be taken seriously in this debate. PBF won clearly in what should have been a UD win.
