    If Floyd wins every single round on route to a 120-108 UD across the board, and say he does this by so called "running"... would you consider that dominating? and would you give him his due?

      I voted a win is a win......DLH knows he is going to have to take fight to him.

        Oscar is old but he isn't looking to rusty... If a fresh Oscar shows up and its a good fight I give him credit but if an old slowed down Oscar shows up... No!

            Me too.

            Like him or not, everyone has to admit he's a character in boxing, and it's fun to talk about him, regardless.

            Otherwise there wouldn't be 20 threads about him made a day.

              Of course. Oscar De La Hoya is undeniably one of the best fighters of his generation, and Floyd made every concession to him in this fight.

              It will be qualified if Floyd fights negatively, as he likely will, but it still counts as a win over a great fighter, better than any three of Floyd's previous wins combined.

                Only because of Oscar's fame, not talent.

                Speaking directly in terms of talented fighters Floyd's faced, I'm not exactly sure if I'd even put Oscar at #1.

                  You would put Baldomir at number one right?

                    I've always given him credit for the fighter he is. Even the Baldomir fight which was boring, but I still gave him credit for outclassing Baldy.

                    I don't mind his arrogance. I mean, imagine if one of us was that good and in most of our fights it really wasn't close. I think we would be ****y and arrogant as well.

                      I used to like Naseem Hamed and he was ****y as hell so i cant hold that against him. The thing with PBF is he is american and i havent seen much of him on our islands screens. Only heard about him alot here on forums and youtubed him a bit. But i dont like youtubing on a pc really.

                      I woould have to say yes. I hope while running he lands hurtful punches though, like DLH had been hit properly though. Otherwise Carl Lewis could probably do well in boxing. But i trust the judges to do there job properly.
