He was already best P4p Boxer by the time DLH caught up to him....maybe the DLH fight is what MADE YOU know who floyd is....Also don't be ridiculous and think DLH is that special because he didn't make that nobody guy who whooped his asss on HBO before the Hopkins fight into a draw...so if your trying to say DLH takes nobodies and makes them do BIg numbers your full of ****

        Eh not really. He barely won against a 34 yr old Oscar. A prime Oscar clearly takes Floyd out. Hell, the older version almost did and Floyd made the fight as boring as possible.

          I expect Mayweather Hatton to do around 1 million ppv buys, so the difference is 650K.
          Oscars impact on Floyd's numbers.

          That sounds about right. Floyd was a decent draw because he was the best lb/lb in the world but no one had heard of him. Oscar got him the main stream attention and now Floyd has become a bigger draw.

            P4P do you think Oscar at any point of his Career would beat floyd...?

            Because if Oscar couldnt Do it as the bigger guy @ 154......

            he is sure not going to do it going into the fight as even weight with PBF@
            *147
            *140
            *135 (no chance)
            *130 (oscar probably gets tko)

            Oscar had his best chance and Blew it......

            154 was Oscar only chance for Oscar to beat Floyd. Period....

            Oscar is not an Better Boxer than floyd in any aspect......

            So Oscar had his only chance and blew it...





            Floyd is the best fighter in this Generation and Boxing Expert will tell you that....even "Emmanuel Steward"

              that is true.

              and if Hatton wins he will become the draw.

              that is life of boxing and the life of celebrity boxer
