Would a prime De La Hoya have beaten Mayweather?

[Beercules]

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

[-MAKAVELLI-]

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

[Sugar Adam Ali]

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

A lot like Oscar and Pernell??? so you pick Oscar via Robbery?

Whitaker/Delahoya was far from a robbery.

[SoulByThePound]

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

[BUNGALOWS]

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.

Nooooooooooooooooo

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
