    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”.

      bogus SD that was planted for a possible rematch


      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

        Haha! I'm sure you remember the odds if you had money on it!

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

          Yeah I thought 1/2 was a great price, but the fight was way closer than I expected.

            I had it 8-4 or 7-5 Floyd, can’t remember which, definitely had Mayweather winning though.

              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.

                  Is that the same Manny you said would beat Spence and you said beat the best version of Thurman.

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

                    His greatest win was someone that had already been KO'd by Marquez?

                      Funny that if the judges didn't make a mistake scoring the first round of the first pacquiao Marquez fight we never would have had a rematch or fights 3 and 4.

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