Man I was looking at the Mosley fight with De La Hoya, and wow, based on how Oscar did against Mayweather when they fought in 2006, I couldn't help but wonder if the Golden Boy could have really whopped Mayweather back in his prime. I used to hate Oscar, and I don't necessarily like him now, but guy was solid.

Prime Oscar destroys Floyd, any version. Ruins him. That's why I laugh at posters on this site who say Oscar isn't an ATG.
Exactly!!! Then they go turn around and call other dudes that can't box for ****, going off retarded reads*never seeing them actually fight*, and didn't do much *because they're in black and white* ATGs.
;Oscar would win, a great pressure fighter like Oscar or Manny in their prime beat floyd. Hence Floyd ducking Manny
LOL Oscar a great pressure fighter, I suggest you go and watch his career set because you obviously know little of Oscar.
Oscar is a boxer and deep down if he envisioned his perfect style it would be Floyd or damn close to him, hence why he dug Sr. as a trainer.
No version of Oscar beats Floyd. Hell I think even that 130lb version of Floyd could have moved up to 147 and dominated Oscar.
We're just talking about 2 different classes of fighters.
I think Floyd would win also, if you think about it Oscar only beat one top guy of that area and that was Mosley with them splitting victories he beat Vargas after Trinidad had already ruined him so he don't get much credit from me for that fight, this what I think people miss understand is when Floyd fought Oscar it was his first time fighting in the 154s I think Floyd was a little bit cautious of Oscar so he didn't do a lot of what he could've done I think this older Floyd would destroy that version of Oscar and win a UD against a prime Oscar just my opinion so Floyd hatters don't shyt on me lol
yes, based on styles and mayweathers ability to adjust and take away the jab. Oscar will always win a decent amount of rounds with mayweather because anybody with some speed, a good jab and good boxing ability will be able to win some rounds with mayweather. Roach did his work and really tightened up DLH's defense for their fight. But mayweather with his ability to adjust and his stamina and concentration in the late rounds beats DLH..... HOWEVER, that doesnt mean DLH wouldnt get a decision in a close fight. Last time he got 1 vote and I had that about 8-4 in favor of PBF. I could see DLH getting a decision in a close fight.
The Mayweather from last night beats any version of Oscar De la Hoya. Everyone keep going back to the 2007 fight. That was Mayweather's first fight on such a big stage. He was tentative for the first 5 or 6 rounds but clearly swept rounds 7-12. Neither fighter did much in the first half of the fight so those rounds could have gone either way. I personally think Mayweather won some of those round but not by much. If prime Oscar fought a green Mayweather he might have beat him but not this version.
Floyd wins.
Simply because he is the better fighter.
It may be very close. Oscars speed and jab would give Floyd trouble here and there, but one thing with Floyd, he always adapts and is very versatile. He can do more and move better than Oscar.

Yep, but no one out there is beating Floyd at this point.
Definitely not. There isn't another Castillo or Cotto out there, let alone a Chavez or Duran.
Yes, based purely on styles. Oscar would still be the same fighter going into the ring, and I'm assuming the fight would be at 147, I'd give Floyd an even bigger edge.
I've come to the realization that everytime you go to the body, Floyd hits you really hard in the head, then you get hesitant in going to the body.
Floyd is a hard ass code to unlock. Only guys like SRL/Hearns could possibly beat him.
Or skilled pressure. That's what has usually given him his toughest fights.
Easy Answer.....................he already beat the man!
Floyd has gotten better with age, Oscar fell off with age!
Floyd, Floyd, Floyd!!!
Love him or hate him the man is Great!
