I don't think Floyd is taking a cheap shot at Oscar to be honest.

It has been hard to take Oscar seriously since he dressed up in female lingerie.

Oscar has to live with the fact that he has a drug problem and is into kinky stuff...nothing wrong with that, but it is now public knowledge.

When I wear my wife's panties, I always make sure there are no cameras around...

Made made me laugh out lout loud literally...thanks i needed that...

Again I said when they retire! Ali was a lightning rod especially early in his career for many different reasons. But was loved and showered with praise at the end of his career when he retired and when it was time for fans to thank him and reminisce about his career. Floyd just retired and nobody cares and his peers are trashing him or giving him back handed compliments. If you think Floyd is being treated like Ali and many other greats when you retired you are just lying to yourself. We just saw the Derek Jeter farewell tour. Berto was promoted as his farewell tour and look at the differences? You either blind or refuse to acknowledge that fans and his peers are not giving the same type of respect to Floyd. And Oscar pointed out many of the reasons why.

No Ali wasn't loved and praised just when he had retired. No one cared when Ali fought Trevor Berbick. People who were around Ali's team when he fought Larry Holmes said he only took that fight because he was broke and needed the money. A lot of boxing writers and critics criticized Ali for taking the fight with Holmes. People who saw the fight live said it was like "watching an autopsy on a man who was still alive." Ali retired sick and a loser and people at the time criticized him for continuing to fight when he was way past his prime. You're rewriting history. Sure Ali is loved now because of his humanitarian work outside of boxing but make no question about it no one cared about him when he retired. You're making **** up.

Some people consider Joe Louis the greatest heavyweight of all time. Look up the documentary "Joe Louis: America's Hero betrayed" if you want to see how disrespected one of America's boxing greats got treated when he retired.

Stop bringing up Derek Jeter because that is a different sport. Most baseball greats never did a farewell tour.

Oscar has even admitted himself he was no longer the same fighter he was in his prime when he fought Floyd. And again take Oscar out of it. Why are fans, media and other hall of fame fighters saying the exact same things about Floyd? Everyone is just jealous? The last thing anyone says about Oscar is he ducked great fighters in his era or refused to fight the guys the fans wanted to see WHEN they wanted to see it. The list of great fighters Oscar fought in their prime ect is why you don't hear fans make that criticism about him yet they do make it about Floyd. Oscar did not refuse to fight the "Manny Pacquiao" of his era until 5 years after fans wanted the fight when Manny had already lost multiple fights and was not the same fighter in his prime.

So what was Oscar when he fought Manny? What was Mosley when he fought Manny? What was Rios, Hatton, when they fought Manny?

If Oscar wasn't shyt when he fought Floyd what the phuck was he when he fought Manny?

And Floyd whooped #48's ass. He been had losses on his record. Remember 05 Morales, and '08 Marquez? Even in 2011 a lot of people thought Marquez won that fight which lead to fight #4 need a say more about that fight? Manny was never on Floyd's level and Floyd is older than him. The proof is in the pudding. That's how he became #48

Floyd being absoultely right once again.

ODLH's open letter was an absolute shame and full of hate.

[Manic Shot]

Without ODLH's fight with JR, We're not talking about this disease on sports!
Stay retired,so the flo mos will vanish like a fart too!

Now you are just full of it and making crap up. Oscar LEFT Top Rank in what the early 2000's at that time he was fighting at 154 in the late 90's he fought at 147. At that same time Floyd was fighting 130 and below. At no point did Oscar EVER duck Floyd or anyone else for that matter. Floyd until the end of Oscar's career always fought 2 or more weight classes below him and was never a fight anyone asked for. He didn't have anywhere near Oscar's fanbase and was way too small for Oscar. Floyd never dared to try and make a fight with him until he was old and less of a threat. Saying Oscar ducked Floyd is about the dumbest thing I've heard today. When he was fighting guys like Whitaker, Trinidad, Chavez, Quartey, Vargas, Mosley (twice when Mosley admitted he was on STEROIDS!), Hopkins, ect but he was scared to fight lil ol' Floyd who NOBODY in boxing cared about except a few die hard fans? The first 2/3's of Floyd's career he lived in Oscar's shadow fighting in small arenas. Dude come back to reality.

And as I mentioned earlier PPVs have NOTHING to do with the discussion but really these are the 2 bullet points for Floyd fans when you criticse Floyd. You call the accuser jealous/hater or bring up Floyds PPVs. lol

You must be new to boxing. Oscar and sugar shane ducked floyd until they got older. You should reserch your data before you just start throwing out a corrupted opinion. Its a fact that floyd wanted to fight oscar while floyd was fighting at 140 and oscar was a ww. Check it out. I stand by my statement.

I watched boxing long before these guys came in the game and saw their ENTIRE careers. When did I mention Mosley? Floyd and him is a fight fans mentioned a few times. Mosley until the end of 99' fought at 135 and was close to floyd in weight. You want to say Mosley or Floyd ducked that fight go ahead thats legit. But saying Oscar did and putting him in that conversation is a flat out lies 2 weight classes at most always separated them. In 1998 when floyd wanted to fight shane before he jumped up in weight Oscar was fighting at 147 and on his way to moving up higher.

In 1998 floyd fought at 130 and was considering moving up to 135 to fight shane at shanes then weight. Floyd wasn't considering moving up a to 147 to fight oscar you liar. And Oscar clearly couldnt make 135 let alone 130 where floyd was fighting so no one asked for this fight let alone contemplated it. Floyd did not move up to 140 until about 6 years later year was 2004 and by then Oscar was now fighting at middleweight 160 to challenge then p4p number 1 best fighter in the world Hopkins. So you already just lied floyd career at 140 did not begin until the mid 2000s about a half decade AFTER Oscars reign at 147 was over. lol

You literally have no clue what you talking about and making up BS that Oscar somehow ducked a fight that NO ONE mentioned until the end of his career when floyd was big enough and close enough in size and Oscar was on the decline and less of a threat. Floyd never wanted to jump up more then 2 weight classes and fight oscar in his prime that would of been suicide.
