Mayweather's win over Dela Hoya is underrated

[THE REED]

I don't argue that but to say PBF's win was some pinnacle of achievement is laughable.

Did PBF fight the same DLH as Mosley?

Im not arguing that point.. and this is the 11th time in this thread I have said that.

Oh, sorry guess I got posters mixed up again

Glad to see you're not comparing his win over Oscar to Pac's.

That said, the win isn't underrated at all. It is what it is - no great shakes. Oscar beating Mayorga proves nothing; every fighter uses Mayorga to come back and beat up on. The fact is, Oscar hadn't had a decent win in over five years and only his name kept people believing he was still a top junior middle. He wasn't, plain and simple.

I understand all of what you said but you must admit he fought an excellent fight and looked better than he had looked in some years.

If he had kept jabbing who knows what would of happened.

mayweathers win over de la hoya is NOT underrated. infact i think he's given too much credit by his fanboys...

oscar wasnt shot...nor was he prime...and if you ask me im more impressed with oscar because he almost beat the top p4p fighter in the world who was in their prime while he wasnt...

he lost ultimately by ONE ROUND.

floyd shouldnt be proud of that win neither should his fanboys...as much trash as floyd talked squeeking by with a controversial win against a fighter past his prime isnt something to get excited about.

personally i think there is a legit arguement to say he lost that fight to be completely honest.

Depends on who you ask. It was a good win. But Mr boat buyer's ****suckers act like he destroyed DLH. His haters **** on it and say DLH was shot.

Dela Hoya made it a close fight because he was still a great fighter not because Floyd was unable to deal with him decisively.

That Oscar Dela Hoya would of destroyed Manny.

so your telling me.... when mayweather almost lost to an old de la hoya, you think its a good win?

He didn't nearly lose at all... it was a good win not an amazing win though...
