I am really not liking Oscar with all the crap he's been saying recently. I use to really like Oscar and so did every single Chicano or Mexican immigrant im my neighborhood. A lot still do, but I can't stand the crap he's been coming out with lately. First, when Mayweather beat him fair and square at 154 (just look at the punch count), he said he thought he won. Bulls**t Oscar. I had that fight 8-3-1 (117-112) Mayweather. Oscar had it pretty even the first 6 rounds, but the whole fight the crowd would go nuts when Oscar threw wild punches for about 20 seconds a round (most were landing on Floyd's arms or shoulders, or completely missing). Meanwhile, the other 2:40 Floyd would be hitting Oscar with right hand leads and jabs, racking up points. That was a gift SD loss for Oscar if you ask me.

I also don't buy that a prime Oscar would have beat Floyd in 2006-2007 at 147. Oscar was really good in him prime (mid to late 90's-early 00's) but don't under estimate Floyd in his latter prime (06-07). Floyd is a defensive freak and even at 33-34 years old, his reflexes have shown defensive skills beyond maybe anyone we've ever seen. He's just not that easy to hit. And if he is hit, he can recover like no other. It would be a very interesting fight.

Back to the original argument, Oscar just sounds ****** with all the crap he's saying recently. He sounds like a Pacquiao lover actually. Also, he's the one who came and lashed out at Floyd first, not the other way around. Floyd didn't say s**t until Oscar ran his mouth. Oscar says "Hatton was small", "Marquez was small", "Mosley was old and gone". What was he and everyone else saying going into the fights??? Everyone was saying "Hatton is unbeaten and one of the P4P best out there. His style is going to give Floyd big problems, and he's been at 147 before and won, so its not like he's never been up there". After Floyd knocked him out int he 10th, then everyone was saying "Hatton was too small and blown up at 147. He was overrated anyway". Then, when Floyd chose #2 P4P Marquez at a 144 catchweight for his first fight in 21 months, everyone was saying, "Marquez is a tough fight for your first one back. He's arguably beat Manny twice. How will Floyd do?". Then after Mayweather won every round, everyone said "Marquez was way too small and old, and he ****** anyway". Then, when Mayweather fought Mosley, everyone was saying "Mosley just knocked Margarito out, this is the best Shane has looked in years. He is quick and has a real shot at beating Mayweather." Then, after Mayweather dominated him, everyone said "Shane was old and ******".

I recognize Hatton was usually a 140 lb fighter. However, he had won at 147 before and they were fighting for Mayweather's Welterweight titles. Did you want Floyd to go down to 140 to defend his 147 titles??? That's straight up dumb. Hatton was unbeaten in his latter-prime. Give credit where it's due. I also recognize that Marquez is not a 144 lb fighter. However, Marquez agreed to it and did you honestly was Floyd to go down to 135 (where he hadn't been in 5 years at that point) or 140 (where he hadn't been in 4 years at that point)??? Marquez was #2 in the world, and was seen as a still very good fighter. His only loss in 3 years was a controversial SD loss to Manny in 08' where he actually may have won. Also, Mosley was recognized as a top 147 lb fighter after he knocked Margarito out. Also, Freddie Roach said in January, after Mayweather-Pacquiao talks broke down, that he didn't think Mayweather would fight Mosley because Shane is too dangerous of a fight. So, while Mayweather fought Mosley (coming off knocking Margarito out), Pacquiao fought Clottey (who hadn't won a fight in two years). Just saying. Mosley was old and past his prime, but was coming off a huge impressive win.

Mayweather can't do anything right for his haters to admit he's arguably the best fighter of his era.

Also, Oscar needs to shut up still. He also tired to detract from his use of *******, suicidal thoughts, and cheating on his wife, by saying that "it wasn't as bad as Tiger Woods or anything". That's a weak statement coming from him. I can't stand Oscar anymore at this point. Mayweather is right...."Oscar is doing coke, dressing drag, Ortiz is dressing up like a Victoria Secret model...What the f**k is going on??".

Floyd should be thanking Oscar for making him a star and a household name. 24/7 started with De La Hoya/Mayweather because of Oscar, he was the star, and still is a bigger star than Floyd even today.

24/7 started because of Floyd, it was Floyd's idea to run a series before he and Oscar fought.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. explained his recent hostility towards Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya. In several published interviews, on the social networks, and during HBO's series "Mayweather-Ortiz 24/7" - Floyd has attacked De La Hoya on several fronts. Mayweather was angered by some of De La Hoya's televised comments on the 24/7 program.

Why can't there be respect between fighters? And stop backstabbing one another

[Clint650]

Oscar was killing two birds with one stone. discrediting Floyd's wins over smaller older men, that Manny chose to fight later. but sorry Oscar, when Floyd talks his **** against you and Ortiz it's funny as hell.

And yet Jr only fights GBP fighters. Mayweather Seniors son just doesnt get it, its called Promoting a fight and cashing out a fighter. Im not a fan of Delahoyas GBP company but selling a fighter is part of the game, even when the fighter doesnt stand a chance. Mayweather Jr is of course just trying to sell this fight and is looking to capitalize on Delahoyas name to get more PPV buys, since Ortiz is not cooperating in trash talking. Let me see Mayweather fight Pacman or Martinez or any non GBP fighter and i might believe his bullchit

Mayweather Always Has An Excuse; Especially After Ortiz KO's Him!

As soon as Floyd, Floyd Sr or Uncle Roger open their mouth, I consider them car salesmen from the hood. Full of excuses, no credibility, no character whatsoever. They worship the dollar, and that will be the demise of all three. Floyd Mayweather gets knocked out this Saturday Night by Victor Ortiz; shocking the Boxing World.

[switchsouthpaw]

Mayweather is right. Beating a prime Carlos Baldomir and Henry Bruseles, is the stuff legends are made of.
