Rewatched Oscar v Floyd.

[BoxingChaos]

Just re-watched Oscar v Floyd the other day. At first I thought there is no way Pac would be able to cope with the 160+lb DLH that fought Floyd. I now realise the outcome of a Pac/DLH fight where DLH weighed his usual 154lbs would have been the same. DLH was not shot against Floyd but I had forgotten how diminished his skills were. He was barely throwing any shots at all in the second half of the fight, although his defense against Floyd's shots was pretty good - he allowed Floyd to easily tap him to the body and then come back upstairs with the right. I have no doubt at all that Pac would have produced the same results against that DLH as he did against the version that he fought. DLH showed nothing in the FLoyd fight that Pac wouldn't have answered with a devastating series of left hands that DLH simply couldn't block.

Just had to get that out there.

All you had to do was watch Oscar De La Conchita vs Steve Forbes and you would have known that Oscar got old.

Why do you think Floyd took that fight? Oscar was old and Floyda knew it. Floyda don't fight dangerous fighters anymore.

I disagree. Different DLH fought Floyd.

Were you having trouble sleeping? Insomnia?

Only reasons I can think of to re-watch that fight.

and Manny got a TKO and retired him, yet Floyd barely got a split dcn....

And manny fought a weight drained and overall bad version of DLH, Floyd beat a stronger 154 version and was still a dominant fighter at that weight.

If floyd would of had a weight drained zombie of DLH at 147 it wouldn't of been a contest.

think about it

Well there are two versions really

Hoya was winning most of the rounds early due to his jab..

Now some say he got tired

Others say Floyd worked it out (the jab) and negated it and forced him to stop throwing it so much.

Personally i lean to the last one but i dunno

That win for Floyd is very under rated specially with how Pac then blitzed Oscar after, but that was a totally diff Oscar imo.

Underrated win? Wow, how do you compare it to shane's win over a prime oscar? what about his win v oscar 3 yrs later when he was juicing? How do you compare it to felix sturm beating the crap out of oscar and losing a gift decision? how do you compare it vs bhops destruction of DLH? How much more impressive was it than steve forbes close loss to dlh?

what's your hatton excuse?

Oscar was 6 or 7 JMW at the time (Ring Rankings), so that means he was a dominant JMW? That's what Cintron is ranked now. Is he a dominant JMW?

Maybe he might have outboxed him, but the Oscar @ 154 was a much healthier fighter when he fought Mayweather. Anyone who believes otherwise
in the words of Roger Mayweather....."You dont Know **** about boxing"....

lmao...why do these people continue to bring up..."Oscars Jab" in the Mayweather fight....lol


That jab didnt do ****, all Mayweather did was time Oscars Jab.....and when that was done it was over

all of these same people NEVER talk about what Mayweather did in that fight...they only mention what Oscar didnt do

[OTSS]

Floyd didnt look like he ever got out of first gear in that fight. He looked like he was just ****in around like a dumbass instead of trying to do anything. That fight ******

[djtmal]

oscar was the biggest money making bum the sport has ever seen...
