    Floyd Oscar was a chess match between two greats

    Oscar won rounds: 2, 4, 6, and the 12th could have gone either way

      With DLH floyd seemed new to the weight, carrying more water like others said and his punches were soft, its been a while but i know he was wearing grants then switched to reyes sometimes. DLH his punches didnt have the snap or much affect, they were more scoring punches than a snappy counter that deters guys running in.
      He hurt De la Hoya in that fight—almost dropped him. He caught De la Hoya between flurries while leaning on the rope. I think he was a bit too tentative against De la Hoya. A little bit more aggressive and De la Hoya would have folded to a TKO.

        I remember that shot

        Oscar was swinging like a mad man

        Floyd caught him first with a right to the temple

        and then a right to the jaw where all of the nerves are directly underneath the ear

        Oscar stumbled

        Floyd didn’t just have the highest connect % in boxing history

        his timing was so great that he was able to pinpoint exactly where to land in between the opponent’s punches

          That's a tough fight to predict, I think Floyd is a tough style match up for Floyd, however, Floyd still wins imo.

            Floyd Mayweather’s favorite boxer is Floyd Mayweather

            Floyd Mayweather’s idol growing up was Floyd Mayweather

              Tough question because in NSB Floyd is 0-147 in fantasy fights.

              I’m gonna say a draw or an NC since Floyd just doesn’t show up in fantasy fights.
