Mayweather's win over Dela Hoya is underrated.
Dela Hoya had been out of the ring for a while but look how impressively he fought against Mayorga and Floyd. Oscar gave Floyd a very close fight and some haters even thought it was close enough to make a case that he lost the fight.
Dela Hoya fought the best fight he could fight against Mayweather but he came up short even with the extra weight. Mayweather did not beat a prime Oscar but by no means was Oscar shot, he was still an excellent fighter.
The Oscar that fought so well against Mayweather would of given most guys at 154 a good fight.
so your telling me.... when mayweather almost lost to an old de la hoya, you think its a good win?
He didn't nearly lose at all... it was a good win not an amazing win though...
mayweathers win over de la hoya is NOT underrated. infact i think he's given too much credit by his fanboys...
oscar wasnt shot...nor was he prime...and if you ask me im more impressed with oscar because he almost beat the top p4p fighter in the world who was in their prime while he wasnt...
he lost ultimately by ONE ROUND.
floyd shouldnt be proud of that win neither should his fanboys...as much trash as floyd talked squeeking by with a controversial win against a fighter past his prime isnt something to get excited about.
personally i think there is a legit arguement to say he lost that fight to be completely honest.
:lol1: :lol1:
Dela Hoya made it a close fight because he was still a great fighter not because Floyd was unable to deal with him decisively.
That Oscar Dela Hoya would of destroyed Manny.

Glad to see you're not comparing his win over Oscar to Pac's.
That said, the win isn't underrated at all. It is what it is - no great shakes. Oscar beating Mayorga proves nothing; every fighter uses Mayorga to come back and beat up on. The fact is, Oscar hadn't had a decent win in over five years and only his name kept people believing he was still a top junior middle. He wasn't, plain and simple.
I understand all of what you said but you must admit he fought an excellent fight and looked better than he had looked in some years.
If he had kept jabbing who knows what would of happened.
I don't argue that but to say PBF's win was some pinnacle of achievement is laughable.
Did PBF fight the same DLH as Mosley?
Im not arguing that point.. and this is the 11th time in this thread I have said that.
an underrated win is sumthin like raheem against morales...
prescott against khan...
quintana vs williams...
victories in the eyes of many shouldnt have happened but it did...
& somehow the winner gets little hype about it...
PBF vs ODLH wasnt one of them...
THank you for pointing out that regardless of whose fault it is, it wasn't the same Oscar.

Your welcome for pointing out that a fighter's health is their own responsibility, not their opponents.

Sounds like that was more DLH's bad, not Manny's. He even stated that he mismanaged his weight before the fight. With his experience, team and resources DLH should not have been in such poor condition for his fight.
But he was.... so thank you.
He lost all his biggest fights?
Chavez - won
Sweetpea - Won
Camacho - Won
Chavez 2 - Won
Quartey - Won
Tito - He won, i wouldn't insult either fighter by posting Oscar lost this fight
Mosley - Lost
Gatti - Won
Vargas - Won
Mosley 2 - Most feel he won
Hopkins - Lost
The only 2 legit loses are Mosley 1 and Hopkins, saying Oscar lost all his big fights is just retarded.
Saying Oscar was a one handed fighter when he has so many KO's with his right hand is equally retarded. His right hand was obviously improved under Mayweather Sr but saying he was a one-handed fighter? Come on now :lol1:
Almost every Oscar fight is a "big fight" - doesn't mean it was a big win. Some of those fights you listed are laughable.
even though when your dehydrated you cant ACT upon that style.

:rofl: :rofl: I dont know how I would feel if a retard called me a retard :lol1:
you'd probably laugh your ass of ass I did.
true story too.
I got RPC'd for that shit.. for you east coast folks it stands for (suspension until required parent conference)
A Hoya that's not healthier is not the same version.
When was the last time Oscar fought at 147??
Keep in mind..contractually...he wasn't allowed to rehydrate over 147.
He handt made 147 since 2001.
But he actually came in at 145...
I once had a special ed kid call me a retard because I launched a waterballoon from one side of the gymnasium to the other and it landed on him.
Just like I thought it was hilarious and ironic coming from a retard himself, I took it the same way from flawless. How can you be insulted, when it's coming from Flawless? You can't help but just laugh!
