    Oscar Was Smart In Not Fighting Floyd At 147

    Floyd asked for the fight there but a clever Oscar knew he would be drained and unfit to step into a boxing ring at that weight, that is all.

    At 47, Floyd wouldn't have won a 6th title in his 5th weight class. And Oscar, lucky to still have his belt after a whole year of not defending it, would've had to fight someone else at 54.

        yeah but oscar knew floyd could fight at 154. Manny couldn't so oscar was greedy enough to put his life on the line being drained to make money. This is why u cant compare both fights oscar was a zombie vs manny and healthy vs floyd who was a ww
