    I think prime for prime it'll be a tough fight. I think Oscar would win though

      i hate both but i still think Floyd is too crafty for any version of DLH...it would be close but if i had to put money on it, i wouldn't hesitate betting on Floyd


      plus it would be a big fight...we all know Oscar loses those

        Yes i think prime oscar could beat floyd....

        It would be close, but oscar had a good workrate and his jab would neutralize floyd's speed advantage...

        I think it would look alot like the oscar-pernell fight,
        115-113 SD win for oscar

            Whitaker/Delahoya was far from a robbery.

              2 or 3 years before floyd initially fought ODLH. Floyd was chasing him.Floyd was considered a high risk low reward.

              There was a mayweather fight(Iforgot which one) where RJJ and company was saying it would not be wise for ODLH to fight him.

                come on larry,, that wasnt a robbery, it was a close fight that could have gone either way... much like barrera-morales 1,2, floyd-castillo,

                A robbery is tim-manny 1, valuev-evander, pernell-chavez

                  55/45, leaning towards Oscar, because of how busy and quick a prime Oscar would be. Plus the jab. The one thing I think Floyd would have the drop on Oscar is the fact that his left hook wouldn't work on Floyd's defense. And Oscar never had a scary right hand.

                  Honestly could go either way.

                      A prime Oscar.. probably would put the sort of whooping on Floyd that the boxing world deserves to see.

                      Don't forget he was a deceptively powerful in his prime and I wouldn't be surprised if he even stopped FMJ
