If the ODLH that faced Julio Cesar Chavez faced off against the Mayweather from the Cotto fight at 154, who is the A side fighter. The two most popular fighters of our generation. When they fought in 2007, an old ODLH was the A side and nearly beat Mayweather. People forget that ODLH was the PPV champ before Mayweather came along. He made nearly a Billion dollars from PPV fights.
DLH hands down. Gold medalist, mex-american, great personality and all action fighter who fought damn near everyone and anyone in, below or above his weightclass.
Remember, DLH was the a-side vs May when they fought. Had May never fought oscar, who wouldve catapulted him into what he became? It sure wasnt Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz Cotto or Guerrero.

- -TBE TUE own daddy say Oscar whooped his boy.
Yup!
Floyd 100%. Floyd is the biggest PPV draw in the history of boxing. Oscar's biggest PPV involved Floyd. Floyd's biggest PPV didn't involve Oscar.
Floyds TWO biggest PPVs didnt involve Oscar!
Then Floyd surpassed him and every other ppv star
The fact is he doesn't get there without Oscar. Let's say Oscar never fought Floyd, who does Mayweather fight to become that breakthrough guy? Nobody else was around to make it possible
If they fight before 2010 Oscar is the A side. If they fight after 2010 Floyd is the A side.
It's hard to say who would be the A side if they were both at the peak of their fame at the same time because their peaks came at different times.
I didn't realize that Mayweather has 4 of the 5 highest selling PPV's in sports history. That includes the fight with De La Hoya. A prime Mayweather-ODLH fight gets 5 Million buys in 2020.
