prime floyd will duck prime oscar...............................just saying.........

^ Yeah, what he said!

Mayweather would have been a bad match up for him regardless of the weight and when they fought.

Mayweather was 30 and in his 5th weight class and not in his prime himself, do people think the guy is immortal or ageless?
ODLH has always struggled with faster, smaller, slicker fighters


If they fought at between 130-140 it would have been great but Mayweather would have been faster, stronger, better movement, and threw more combinations in his prime....it sounds good but unless he knocked out Floyd it would have been a clear lose to him

If people actually were watching boxing in 1998-2004 Mayweather was calling out everyone

people need to stop listening to what other people say and find things out for themselves

Oscar wasn't FAST at all.

His speed isn't even close to Mayweather's. In any area.

Oscar wasn't fast at all?..

That's absurd, prime oscar at 130-147 had fast hands, and not fast feet but not slow feet either, just average foot speed but he had incredibly fast hands and had a lot of power behind them..

Ask Chavez, leija, camacho, genero, mayorga, Tito if that dude didn't have fast hands..
Hell, he was even matching a prime Shane in handspeed for the most part

He called out everyone before he was the face of boxing, but now doesn't call out anyone

he doesn't have too

He earned his spot to call the shots....Bob Arum held him back and fights with ODLH, and Cotto would have happened much sooner


He didn't want ODLH his cash cow to lose to a youngster

at 130 when Mayweather was all humble but was elusive and knocking people no one wanted to fight him

After he beat Corrales, Larry Merchant said to his face Naseem Hamed wouldn't want to step in the ring with him after a performance like that

Back in 2002 Mayweather said he was gonna prove he is the best fighter from 154 down and he has.

The prime elite welterweight who fought twice on the moon in two differnt era's that won the heisman trophy has a ring in the nba championships can leap a skysc****r in a single bound and out race a train on a mid summer's Eve who name shines clear across the sky on the evening of Durin's day underneath a mountain where Smaug the mighty protects his dwarfish plunder... This mythical opponent you speak of has never existed in any weight class in any era. You guy's discrediting tactics are getting more childish and transparent each time you use them over and over again.

So elite ww fighters in their prime never existed? Wow.

Explain. Testing timeframe is shortened by 2 weeks...thats the only difference. How is it not random? Are the boxers given notice of when they will be tested?

You get tested randomly until a certain date.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya says he was already past his best when faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their 2007 junior middleweight fight. Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs) needed a few rounds to find his rhythm and rallied in the later rounds to win a close twelve round split decision. Two judges saw it 116-112, 115-113 for Mayweather and the third had it 115-113 for De La Hoya.

I agree with Oscar.

Floyd did not want to give him a rematch either.

Dude you switch more than a hunts point hooker. When someone calls floyd out you say one thing. When floyd calls someone out you say another. Manny fans like you are utterly pathetic.

Be adult enough to say the same thing when it's someone you like and someone you dont.

You didn't answer his questions.
