Young Oscar De La Hoya would destroy any version of Floyd...

Didn't you see the oscar-floyd fight? If oscar didn't stop throwing his jab it should have been a UD win for oscar.



Pernell is twice better than floyd in his prime......

I find this argument odd. He stopped throwing his jab for a reason - he was constantly getting smacked in the face when he threw it. It isn't like he just came out in round 6 or whatever and said, "that's it, jab's done for the night".

Its MORE than odd Dan. The guy/girl just heard someone say it and repeated it.

I think the myth was instigated by Oscar in his post-fight interview where he said something like "it just wasn't the night of the jab". Well yeah, because you kept getting nailed with straight right counters whenever you threw it.

Floyd won pretty handily but that performance was quite unimpressive. I figured maybe he didn't want to ruin his chance at a rematch. IDK, I came away from that fight thinking that Floyd was slowing down.

unimpressive?

No offense but ask yourself what is more impressive.

Fight Oscar De La Hoya @145lbs (DLH's 1st fight under 150lbs since 7 years) using a stick and move strategy based on the lack of foot speed of De La Hoya which is just what Pac did.

Or fight Oscar De La Hoya @154lbs literally stand in front off him the entire night take away his jab break him down and finally beat him what Floyd Mayweather did.

C'mon a fighter that is so good that he doesn't have to use his legs to win a fight. Just my 2 cent but that's most impressive.

What's your argument?

Why did those two have a better jab than oscar?

Quartey had a better jab than Oscar. In fact, Quartey had the best jab I had seen in years.
