Floyd was a 1/2 favourite vs Oscar man. I had a big bet on Floyd as I felt ODLH was well past his best. I expected Floyd to whitewash him, Oscar did far better than I expected, I was actually worried I’d lost my money when I heard “split decision”.
Oscar did well but not that well to warrant SD
Oscar won 4 rounds: 2, 4, 6, & 12
possibly one more
4 or 5 rounds isn’t enough to win fight

Oscar still had the ring experience and physical advantages over Floyd even if he was leaning towards the end of his career.charliepaerker likes this.

Manny is the greatest boxer that Floyd has fought. If that is what you mean. Nobody on his resume is an 8 division champion, accolades et al.
Best win? I don't know. I've seen an Oscar shout and that's a good shout. Canelo in his prime, the equivalent of Floyd against Corrales, while Floyd being Bernard Hopkins age? That was special as well. Shane Mosley off the dismantling of Margarito is a fan's favorite because he stood right in front of Mosley and beat him up. Maidana twice was a great fight.
I guess it just depends on your criteria of great. It's very subjective tbh.STREET CLEANER

I don't look at one win, its Floyds entire body of work that makes him great, his career was outstanding.charliepaerker

Manny was the most accomplished fighter Floyd beat. I thought Ricky Hatton was the most underrated of Floyd's wins.charliepaerker likes this.
