    regardless this DLH has been shot for a long time when compared to his old days at 147. A prime DLH would've destroyed both manny AND Floyd. problem with manny is that he abandoned the jab altogether while he used it for a while vs Mayweather.

    And Flawless i know ur just being an ass but why is that so hard to believe? about calderon boxing their ears off. Remember is just training so their aim was a hitting him and not beating him and if its hard for a quick 108 to get him what would it be for a bigger guy with longer arms?

        Oscar fought a good fight against Floyd until he tired in the later rounds. He jabbed, pressed the fight and unleashed some combos when he got Floyd against the ropes. Floyd managed to beat him anyway because of good defense which allowed him to not get hit much even when against the ropes and because Floyd wash still fresh in the later rounds when Oscar tired. Floyd took the later round and outpointed De La Hoya.

        What you can't forget is that to get to thoose late rounds with a tired Oscar Floyd first had to withstand Oscars early and mid-fight offensive. I highly doubt that Pac would have been able to withstand it against the same 154 Oscar. Pac is good moving forward, he dosen't have Mayweathers defense on the back foot or against the roopes. Oscar would have hurt him bad at 154.

            I really don't get this idea of Oscar fought a good fight agianst Floyd. He didn't really at all - he got dominated. His agression was extremely ineffective and probably won about 3 in rounds in total - based on 'activity'.

            Pac would have beaten him even if Oscar got to weigh in at 154, without a doubt. He was too fast and too good - UD all the way for the Pac man.

            Obviously prime Oscar at 147 (as against Tito) would have killed Floyd and Manny in the same night). - I'm not dis*****g that.

              No freaking way would Pac get caught on the ropes with Oscar. Perhaps a bit but no way would Oscar have hurt Pac at 154. The fight would have gone exactly the same way at 154, Pac too quick for Oscar and too elusive. It's not as if Pac has a glass chin - on the contrary - he has a very good one.

              The only offense Oscar offered was slapping CalSlappy style shots that Pac wouldn't have been in front of him to take and a few decent jabs.

                I think Manny still would of won that is why i picked him to win anyway but! i picked him to win because of how terrible his(DLH) reflexes were against Forbes and i thought Manny's speed would be able to exploit that even more.

                I do however think the DLH that fought Mayweather was a better version, not just in terms of conditioning but as in how much he had lost as a fighter. I know the time frame between the two fights is not that big but fighters get old overnight.

                  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.
