    at 140 and 147 Oscar wins. People bring up the Quartey and Whitaker fights...and that makes sense. but what did both Quartey and past prime Whitaker have? Kick ass jabs. Quartey had an excellent jab and Whitaker always knew how to place it, he landed a ton of them on Oscar. and both those fights were still very close

    Floyd CAN jab well, but really just never has at 140 and 147. Oscar's combination of size power and speed would be too much at these weights. Oscar at the lower weights was a stickman, and Floyd's punches were more meaningful.

    I give credit for Floyd beating Oscar at 154, but the truth is, he really wasnt at his best. an Oscar with better stamina, more consistant punching, and quicker jab would be able to beat Floyd 140 and 147

          Unfortunatly, we will never know. I think Oscar would certainly have a better chance at doing it, but Floyd is just such a difficult fighter to hit and is so smart in the ring that I think he wins by close Decision again. Remember, Floyd did go up to Oscar's weight and had to agree with everything Oscar said so alot was in Oscarls favor and he still didn't win.

            I think because the fight was so close, yes, a prime delahoya would beat mayweather.

            And i hope people stop saying Mayweather is a small fighter if he is then he should go back down in weight and stay there.
