Prime Oscar cleans out 147 easy. At 154/160, he wasnt as good. His best weights were 140/147. So he might do well at 154 as well, but at 160, he never looked good. But at 147 he would own welter. Past his prime he gave PBF a really good fight.
Probably, but Oscars legacy is greater than that
He fought anyone. His zero never mattered or losing close fights to super roided Shane.
Thats how he became a star and a millionaire: by fighting.
In the current era, there are no oscars. All of these dudes want to be a-side by protecting the zero and careful management
Oscar (and Cotto) show the better way: fight, lose some, earn fans loyalty, retire a millionaire.
Plenty of prime welters out there, Khan, Porter, Thurman, Brook, Bradley (if even on the slide).
I guess. I don't think any of them beating a prime Oscar. And while all are top ten contenders, I don't see them as the elite of the division (yet).
147 - Probably would still pick Mayweather to beat him. 154, sure he would probably win clean it out if we count Canelo as a MW.
160? Against GGG/Cotto/Canelo and come out 3-0?
Not a chance.
Oscar beats cotto at any weight. Canelo is easy work. Canelos best win was josesito lopez and alfonzo gomez (two 140 pounders ) at 154. How people think trout lost to canelo is laughable. In texas. Lara clealry beat canelo.its called boxing.
GGG would be a challenge. Maywearher struggled with an old part time past it oscar . Singing oscar.
Probably given that the top welters are well past their prime and the others aren't quite there yet.

I would favor a prime golden boy over anyone right now 147-160.

A past prime very well past it singing part time fighting oscar won 5 rounds vs floyd. He was winning after 7 rounds
No doubt a prime oscar handles him.
That would be floyds first fight vs a prime hall of famer.
Literally
Giving Shane Mosley credit for the De La Hoya fight is like giving Margarito credit for the Cotto fight. Against Trinidad Oscar had the fight in the bag and everyone knows what happened. Oscar was not a 160 pounder and the Hopkins fight should not have happened. Against Floyd he was over the hill already and still gave a great fight and arguably won. Do I really need to point out everything about the PAC fight?
So there you have it, Oscar practically retired undefeated and beat everyone that mattered when it mattered most.
Looooooooooool. That was hilarious.
On topic, I think he'd beat everyone with the exception of Floyd.
He'd clear out 147 and 154 and would beat everyone at 160 not named GGG. Lee, Lemieux and Quillin would all have a good puncher's chance but I'd back ODLH to beat them all.
Prime oscar would beat everyone at 140 coming up
147 and moving up to 154.
You can be the matchmaker ..unlike floyd picking his fights..
Oscar was cheated by shane. Even with steroids oscar clearly won the 2nd fight. Oscar schooled tito. After 9 rounds it was oscar 8-1 . 7-2 at worst. Oscar vs floyd and pac were part time fighter/singing oscar,he was very well past it .
Hopkins was way to big. That fight also shows you how special duran really was being able to go up to 168.
People who say oscar lost all his big fights are morons.
Hopkins is the one true loss oscar took .

It could be because for someone rated so highly by the industry, he lost all of his big fights. His top wins were legends on the down slide. However, no one can deny he is the Golden Boy in financial terms.
