everyone agrees that oscar would have whooped Mayweather in his prime, that why oscar career actually been a fraud going on what 8 years now lol.

Like all children that going through a phase that hate their parent, mayweather is just mad at his poppa he will get over it.

Don't know if he knocks him out, but Prime Oscar would have to be favoured against Floyd. If he had continued to pump the jab instead of abandoning it and looking for a big left hook he could have beaten Floyd when he did fight him.

Prime Oscar, should've fought prime Floyd, when Floyd called him out. He stopped pumping the jab because he was getting countered. The only success Oscar had in the fight was when they were on the ropes hugging and he was hitting Floyd with those weak body shots. In the center of the ring, his head stayed in the snap back position from being countered.

Lol sure Dhoya... when u were 28 u were wearing women's panties lmao . Besides when u were 28 u lost to pernell Whitaker But was given a bs decision.

Well Oscar won on one of the scorecards and was 34. It would only make common sense that he would have done better at 28. Floyd "retired" instead of taking the rematch. The more important thing though is that Manny @ 28-32 would have KOed Mayweather.

All the haters on this site agree on that, but no one with any sense does. Oscar is only four years older than Floyd. Floyd was 30 years old when he fought Oscar and past his prime also, so that BS about not being in his prime is just that -- BS. If Oscar was age 28, he could have beaten the 38 year old Mayweather who fights today and that is what all you haters and know nothings do --- you compare fighters of yesteryer in their primes to the past his prime Mayweather of today. When Oscar was 28, Mayweather was 24. There is no way in hell he could have beaten the 24 year-old Mayweather.

As I stated in an earlier post, Oscar at 28 lost a rematch against Shane Mosley. At 29, he received a boxing lesson from Felix Sturm and received a gift decision. If he couldn't beat Mosley and Sturm, he damn sure wouldn't have beaten Mayweather if they fought on even terms.

Mayweather was calling out Oscar when Mayweather was a lightweight, but Oscar was ducking him. So Oscar why didn't you fight him when you was that age?

[bojangles1987]

It would have been much harder, but I would pick prime Mayweather vs. prime Oscar at 147.

Dunno about koing floyd but oscar wouldve defintely beaten floyd by clear decision....hell, a past his prime hoya still put up a good fight ..

[Buckfever]

I seriously doubt it. Oscar was very tentative early in his career and no time in his career does he out box Floyd. Oscar was one of those guys that I always felt could of been even better if he had been willing to take more risks. He rarely did.
