    if mayweather had fought all the same guys dlh has he would not be undefeated either.

        Alright lets look at a few:

        Whitaker - at that point in Whitaker's career I like Mayweather

        Trinindad - I like Mayweather to win easily. Trinidad has shown that a smart technical fighter is a bad matchup for him. Oscar beat him up for 8 rounds, Bhop KO'd him, and I like Mayweather to outbox Tito and take a UD.

        Mosley - tough fight for me to call. I honestly don't know.

        Vargas - I like Mayweather to win as easily as ODLH did.

        Bhop - Bhop. This would be a great fight if you could somehow shrink Bhop down or balloon Mayweather up.

        Chavez - Chavez was done when he fought ODLH. However, I would have loved to have seen a prime Chavez and Mayweather go at it. I think Chavez would do many of the same things JLC did, only better. Would have been a great one.

        I think Oscar's greatest contribution to boxing was his ability to draw fans. Fans that showed up or tuned in to either watch him or see him get his head taken off. I think Mayweather now has that same ability. People love to hate the guy and his next few fights are going to get rediculous numbers.

        But, as a fighter, and even if both guys careers ended today, I have no issues with saying that Mayweather has the better legacy. The two biggest fights of Oscar's career, Tito and Shane, he lost. Mayweather's two biggest, Corrales and JLC II, he won.

          You don't think Hatton will be a HOFer?
