Even if Mayweather beats Delahoya, does that make him a legend ? ? ?

      Bull****. Winky Wright has only beaten Shane Mosley worth mentioning of late. I agree he has fought better opposition but he hasn't won. He didn't beat Jermain Taylor. He beat old ass Quartey, and Soliman.

Mayweather need to beat those names I mentioned earlier, then he needs to top Cotto, Winky, and Jermain for all those Middleweight belts, then and only then can he consider himself a GOAT contender.

        Thats crazy dude !
        Taylors a big boy.
        Theres limits to how far Floyd can go up in weight.

            yeah I knew I was forgetting one, but many would say Trinidad was finished. Also Winky has stayed mainly at 154-160. Floyd has gone up in weight and won 4 titles in 4 weight classes. I find that more impressive.

              ike quarety
              felix sturm- this one was a complete robbery.
              Ike Quartey?? he did enough to win that fight even knocked him down in the last round. I haven't seen the fight in a while but I remember John John Molina got knocked down in the first and I remember Molina fighting real dirty hitting behind the head and holding alot. Felix Sturm I will admit I have never seen though, I'll download it and check it out...But the only one I agree with is the Pernell Whitaker fight.

                  Hall of Famers...yes. Legends or Greats no! atleast not yet, Oscar screwed up his chance already by going too far up in weight fighting a much bigger opponent in Hopkins and throwin the last 3 rounds of the Trinidad fight ( a fight I think he won, Oscar landed twice as much and schooled trinidad, but you never run regardless of how much your winning by and also by being so inactive) but when you have money who wants to fight I guess? Also the first Mosley fight... He chose to make an album rather than train and it cost him. I think Oscar is a victim of his bad decisions, and those decisions are the only ones to blame so its his fault pretty much!

                    Even when DLH was fully focused, he wasn't coming off with dominant wins against top names. I don't think that album threw him off too much. Really, I think Shane has a better repetoire that DLH.

                      True regardless of that he has been one of my favorite fighters of this era. But two losses to Vernon Forrest two losses to Winky Wright and since the Wright fights he has beet a shot Fernando Vargas who is no where as good as he once was before Tito Trinidad busted his balls so many times and ****ed him up (if it wasn't for all the intentional low blows I think dude could have won that.) I dunno dude I don't think I can agree with you on that.. . I would say they are in the same area when it comes to skills with Oscar being on top just a tiny bit.
