Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Whitaker More Difficult Than Mayweather

[Jim Tom]

Mayweather beat DelaHoya and that's all that matters

The guy's just a defensive poet.

Oscar beat them both so no one can argue his assessment. Yeah Floyd got the benefit of doubt on 2 judges score card and only one judge had Oscar winning but we all saw him outbox Mayweather big time. Floyd may not want to make a loss official by facving Pacqiuao, but Oscar speaks the truth and what he says no one can argue because he beat them both.

Absolutely Right! Pernell Would Have Beaten Floyd In His Prime.

I never liked Pernell's style, but he was a man, he would fight anyone; unlike Floyd Jr.

And hes also broke, unlike Floyd Jr..
If I had to choose, I'd rather be a rich cherry picker legend than a poor respected legend.. But thats just me, to each his own

Come on man Oscar won like 2 rounds against Floyd and Oscar struggled against a old Pernell he lucky he won that fight

[beatnutts]

Personally, i thought Pernell won against Oscar. Also, i have no idea how anyone can say Oscar easily outboxed Mayweather. There isn't a problem with believing Oscar did well in the beginning because he did but he didn't win every single round in the beginning. But then he stopped jabbing and got hit with right hands in the later rounds so how did he easily outbox Mayweather. This is the bias crap i'm talking about.

[gayfish]

i would have to disagree. nobody ducks like floyd. hence hes "tougher" to fight.

[yuppie]

Well Oscar would know, he lost to both fighters.

Whitaker DID fight both Oscar and Trinidad in their primes while Whitaker was on a (slight) downside.
