Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Mayweather: He's Not TBE, I Beat Him!

Pernell really did beat Oscar as well as Felix Sturm.

You beat him like you beat pernell whitaker.

Floyd beats him opponents easily sometimes lacking action and the fan favorite brawling style. So when an opponents wins a few rounds, the FANS and the fighters tend to think they won the entire fight. This only happens with Floyd and the fact that he is not liked by a lot of casual boxing fans. From a judging standpoint, he wins easily. Oscar lost, Maidana lost. Count the rounds, Floyd won both fights by at least 4 rounds.

Just like you beat Felix Sturm.

I guess Fishnet DelaCoka is back on the horse again. Funny thing is this guy used to big boy Floyd when he was the man, wouldn't fight him or give him the time of day. Now he is begging for Floyd to even mention his name to help GBP get its name in the press.

Funny how things change.

I thought Floyd won 8-4, but it was very competitive. Though you can't ignore that Oscar was semi-retired, inactive, and was over the hill. The Mayorga KO gave a false impression of where Oscar really was at that stage of his career, he was not at the top his game anymore even if he wasn't shot. So that begs the question, what would have happened with a prime Oscar? I think that is really a tough fight to call.

I personally feel that Oscar and Pacquiao are Floyd's two best wins in terms of calibre of fighter at the time he fought them, but in both cases I would say they were both past their best.

People forget that Mayweather (Pacquiao fight) is past his prime too...

I had ODLH winning by a round. Draw at best for Floyd.

naw....a fighter is immortal until their first loss....since he is undefeated he doesn't age


seriously he was not the best version of himself in either fight...against Oscar he wasn't at his best weight, Oscar chose the ring size and gloves, and he was also 30 years old and many championship fights under his belt

Mayweather at his best in the early 2000's when he had all the skills he has today, coupled with being a supreme athlete, speed, power, reflexes, ring IQ, etc......Mayweathers record at 130-140(his best weights) was 34-0(24 kos) that's a 70% ko ratio

Mayweather just happens to be a great fighter that can compete with bogger guys because of his versatility, skill, and ring IQ

Bad night for Oscar, bad bad bad

[Jc8804]

Castillo

Stevie johnston tyzsu margarito prime cotto prime pac and GGG if he goes on to have a good career. Boxing purists will also add Lara a as well. Instead we got berto ghost ,ortiz and a small jmm sharmba mitchell and old shane

There was no indication that Mayweather was past his prime against De La Hoya, Hatton or even in 09 against Marquez as his physical abilities were still as good as ever.
