What i meant was that if Oscar beats a Zab Judah, it`ll add to his rep. He`s coming off a lose to Hopkins, he needs to win a meaningful fight before fighting Mayweather for Mayweather to get any credit should he win otherwise if Floyd wins people will say the promoter De La Hoya lost, the Promoter wasn`t interested in boxing only business. If De La Hoya beat a violent socio-path in Zab Judah then people can say, Floyd beat the champ, he beat De La Hoya, the undisputed champ of the welterweights. Rather than enter a fight with Floyd coming off a loss and this promotional company hanging over oscar`s head. It makes more sense to beat a violent Judah and then take on a Mayweather. Its in both fighters interest!
No matter how you call it, if Mayweather beat Oscar it would add to his legacy and it would boost up his popularity.
I know u said if but Mayweather cant beat I repeat cant beat Oscar. Oscar is way bigger and stronger and has enough speed to catch the quicker Mayweather. It would be a dream fight but I dont think it happens.

good point, sorry it took me a while to get, but yeah I honestly think DLH can beat both zab and PBF @ 147
IMO. The only reason people are saying DLH would beat Floyd: is to find another scapegoat. DLH would look silly in the ring with him as far as I am concerned. His outing against Pernell Whittaker was far from impressive; and I had him losing the fight easily, in a "Robbery". Floyd is faster, hits harder, and is equally as smart a fighter as Sweet Pea.
Lets not get trigger happy and start talking about Floyd losing a fight. When in the hell has he ever lost a fight. The only fight he lost IMO was against Castillo in their first outing, and he beat him fair and square in the rematch, by outboxing him. Remember one thing. I am a Castillo fan. But Floyd has proven his excellence as a fighter and will continue to be untested by anyone he faces.
How in the sam hell, is DLH going to drop all the weight, coming from 160, back to 147...and still have the speed? I dont see it happening. Floyd would make him look horrible, and beat him up for 12 rounds. DLH would be frustrated, and Mayweather would be jogging circles around the ring.
Lets also not forget 1 thing people: Floyd is in his prime, and DLH is FAR past his. It would be a cold day in hell if he were to beat Floyd at 147. PBF is talking about moving all the way up to 154: and I dont think that is ridiculous. Speculations run rampant throughout the PBF hating circle, but one thing is for sure. It is COMPLETE SPECULATION. How could you "Speculate" against the best fighter?
Reminds me of Grant/Lewis. People searching for a "New Hero" to dethrone the king himself.
C'mon man! Floyd needs to get back to fighting top-level fighters at 140. Don't even utter the numbers 147 or 154. I really don't care. Floyd has a small frame, he would look small compared to the bigger welters and look like a midget (size wise) compared to any 154.
I'm not a Floyd hater, he is an AMAZING boxer, but he's not going to run circles around De La Hoya at any weight.
You need to get off Floyd's nuts and tell him to to fight somebody! He hasn't fought anyone worth while in like 2+ years! What happened to "big fight floyd"???? I wouldn't be surprised if after Gatti he goes after another two or three nobodies.
I guess it's more "what have you done for me lately". And with Floyd's last 4 fights it's less than nothing.
