Did Floyd Mayweather Win? Boxingscene Poll Says No.

[bdevils]

an old washed up De La Hoya was level or slightly ahead going into the last 3 rounds. So your argument is flawed from the start.

Only in your biased eyes. And everyone of your arguements are flawed becasue you post bull****.

Has anyone else noticed the results of the poll on the main page of boxingscene.com?

Only 40.8% of people think that Floyd Mayweather won the fight with Oscar De La Hoya, while 43% think DLH won. 16% think the fight was a draw.

One would have to conclude from this poll that it was not a decisive victory for Floyd Mayweather. If PBF cannot convincingly defeat a past prime De La Hoya, he certainly would have lost to a younger DLH. Does this indicate that PBF is overrated, and isn't really a top p4p fighter?

yeah a prime oscar would have won. to strong, higher punch output would definetly get him the dec or could get lucky and get the stoppage

mayweather at 147 and 154 doesnt do enough punching to hold off a prime oscar

but a fight at 130 or 135 i would definetly pick mayweather to beat him

a fight at 140 would be a pick em fight but i would probably give the edge to mayweather

and the argument that shane outbox a prime oscar (shane didnt outbox him he beat him out fought out slug oscar. mayweather could never fight like that against a prime oscar or mosley at 147,154 and be successfull) do i think a prime oscar could outbox mayweather at 147 and above. yes. oscar would just outwork him and use his reach to win

mayweather is excellent fighter but at 147 and 154 he is beatable

I'm not dis*****g that Mayweather won the fight. I said before at the end I had Mayweather up by a couple of rounds.

My point was made in response to you saying that a prime DLH could not beat prime Floyd.

A post-prime DLH was level or a point ahead with 3 rounds to go. This makes your point about prime DLH not being able to defeat prime Mayweather a nonsense.

Dude is like a speaking clock, do you have a key in your back that someone turns, then you come out with the same things over and over?

All its proves is that Boxing Judges are most likely corrupted in some way or form and they have difficult in correctly scoring a fight.

It was clear that DLH had some age related conditioning and perhaps even reflex issues at 34 years of age.

De La Hoya still had speed in the fight, but he made the classic mistake of fighting at a high pace with floyd, no way could he keep that up for 12 rounds, yes im sure age had something to do with it, guess what, he out weighed mayweather by nearly a stone and still got his ass handed to him.

Taking this all into account, the fact that DLH had equalled or bested prime Mayweather over 9 of the 12 rounds, im my opinion, a prime DLH would have won a comfortable points decision over pbf or even KOed him if Mayweather got sloppy in the later rounds.

Take this into account, de la hoya has had problems with class slick fighters his whole pro career, mayweather's prime is not 154, you do know that right? you know mayweather's prime was 130-140, at those weights de la hoya loses all the advantages he had at 154, which is the only way he could win that fight.

Basically, de la hoya would have less of a chance at 130-140 lbs against mayweather than he did on may 5th.

How can you say De La Hoya won when all he did as pitter-patter for 12 rounds? He landed close to nothing. Everytime he would flurry it'd look horrible and he'd land NOTHING.. not to mention Floyd was doing whatever he wanted from about the 7th round on. ONE OR TWO FLURRIES A ROUND DOES NOT WIN DLH A ****ING ROUND.

That polls that way because of all the Floyd haters and the DLH nuthuggers. Anybody who really watched the fight in non biased way knows that Mayweather won. If anything maybe it was a draw, but no way did DLH win.

It does if Floyd doesn't throw enough back and if you watch the fight again you'll see that Floyd was pretty much stagnant in many of the early rounds.

I had DLH, 3-1 up after the first four rounds, after that, i had the rest to mayweather, 9-3 floyd.

DLH's prime weight was not 154lbs either, it was between 140 or 147.

Mayweather struggled with Castillo when Castillo was at 134lbs, DLH would have messed him up at 140 or 147 in his prime.

I may speak like a clock, but you speak like an uneducated internet boxer who's only points are recycled from $ins weak arguments.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Sorry for that old sports cliche.
