    I think he meant mixing offense and defense together... IMO he did that better than those 3 you mentioned...

      Floyd official weigh-in which means the day before was 150... where did you get number 148 from?

      Floyd beat Oscar a year after Oscar Mayorga so what is your point? That Oscar was old? yea I agree... Was not a risky fight...

      I would never say Pac beating Foreman is a great win... I would say is a great accomplishment but not a great win... Same thing for Floyd beating Oscar was a great accomplishment but not a great win... It was his 5th title in his 5th weight-class great accomplishment but not great win... I am not you bro.. I don't try to make wins better than what they really are I don't care if it is Pac or not... But, I would say this that this version of Foreman was just as good if not maybe even better than that version of Oscar....

      What do you mean "you are not me"? Oscar was a GREAT win one of the best of Floyds career. Moving up to 154 and fighting a TOP 3 154 Pounder. WAS AMAZING.

          Show me where Oscar was top 3 at 154 at the time...

          I am not you means that I don't act like is greater than what it really is when it comes to my favorite... It was not amazing there was nothing amazing about it... it was not a great win... Stop overrating that version of Oscar...

            In 2007 The best 154 Pounders were Spinks , Simms and Oscar.

            Cmon man.

              Reading is key my friend BARA...

              I said best offensive- defensive minded fighter... what that means is like other poster suggested...

              He is by his thinking a defensive first fighter like a Whitaker... but has a very good offense as well... Tszyu was an offensive fighter... Freitas was too even though he cared for his defensive... Casamayor was a slick fighter who had defensive skill but I haven't seen him do all the offensive stuff that Mayweather did at times (not 147 anymore though)

                well in my opinion no....how many round did it take for floyd to stop corraless.....it took casa and jlc less than floyd did...freitas beat cassa clearly which i doubt floyd culc' 've done the same.....judah vs tzu.....so offensively i dont agree....

                  Simms? No Ouma? Karmazin? Where did you get Simms from? Show me where Oscar was top 3?... Oscar was not top 3 at the time... Stop making up stuff... Ouma and Karmazin was ranked ahead Oscar, Spinks was ranked #1 at the time...

                    Oscar was a top guy in the division when Floyd fought him.

                      People hate Floyd so much they forget that. He was coming of great KO vs. Mayorga.

                      He was also WBC Champion.
