You could definitely make the argument that Oscar in his prime was better than Floyd. Both prime Oscar and Shane were all time great talents who would have given Floyd a lot of problems and possibly beaten him. Nothing ridiculous about this opinion at all.

Mayweather completely changed his style similar to Leonard after Duran 1 and Hector Camacho when he fought Edwin Rosario. That punched scared the hell out of him.

Originally posted by pillowfists98 View Postlol Pernell Whitaker is one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time and that was no robbery. The only reason people say that is because the scorecards were too wide. It was close but Oscar deserved to win.

DLH in his prime had a hell of a time hitting a coked-up, faded Sweet Pea but I'm sure he'd easily KO a prime Floyd @ 147. Seriously though, him and Mosley wanted NOTHING to do with Mayweather until it made sense financially. Why? Because his skill set was better than either of them, and they didn't want to risk looking bad in the ring. It says a lot that Shane willingly fought Vernon Forrest (RIP) and Winky Wright, but wanted no part of Mayweather until after he became a legitimate PPV draw.
