Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: If I Was 28, I Would've KO'd Mayweather!

[megadeth]

i got the ppv on vhs and watched it a few weeks ago de la hoya won that fight it was close but he won it imo...the split decision was justified

I watched it live and few times since then. We will have to agree to disagree on that one!

Floyd was prime at 130 not at 154.

Mayweather was 30 years old and past his prime himself. De La Hoya had a huge weight advantage AND he picked Mayweather's gloves for him. Under those circumstances, Oscar should have won the fight anyway.

... If you say that Floyd at 30 years of age was past his prime you must be one of those blind "floydidiots" ( as they call them here).
... You should have better say that, at that stage, Mosley already beat Oscar twice and a 40 years old Hopkins KOd him at the middleweights...

I disagree, Floyd beats him at any age. I remember Floyd calling out Oscar back then and arum was having none of it. Oscar needed a gift decision to beat a past prime sweet pea, that slippery defense made him look bad. And Floyd back then was way more explosive with even sharper reflexes, this is what people fail to mention, Floyd wasn't in his "prime" either beating Oscar. He simply won by outsmarting him. Had they fought younger I see Oscar getting a serious beating. Floyd hasn't been in his "prime" for the last 5-7 years, he simply is smarter than his opponents and can adjust to anything.

past prime oscar pushed him close so yeah I think prime oscar would have taking him ... on points not by KO.

Wsup with Black American fans crying about Oscar getting a gift vs Whitaker? Oscar beat Whitaker and if you want to play that game, don't switch it up with Floyd vs Castillo 1. A fight many more people thought that it should of gone the other way.

If Floyd had Oscar's mentality of truly fighting the best, we wouldn't of gotten lame ass fights like Ortiz, Guerrero, Maidana, etc.

No doubt. The Floyd that Oscar fought had 1 fight in 3 years before that and was out doing coke and wearing fishnets during that training camp and still gave a prime Floyd a close fight. Prime Oscar wins a decision easily, if not threatens a KO. Even Floyd's daddy thought Oscar won the fight and said so in the ring after it was over.
