Comments Thread For: Mosley: In Their Prime, De La Hoya Better Than Mayweather

[BoxingTrav]

Shane Mosley is entitled to his opinion. He fought both of them. Oscar was a helluva of fighter.

I personally feel that Floyd beats them both each time. Floyd figures out the best way to win against each opponent and executes the plan. Shane hit him with a jab to chest followed by overhand right. Floyd was hurt by that combo. It took him less than a round to figure that out. He never got hit with it again and he brought to fight to Shane and beat him easy.

Against Oscar Oscar had success with the jab, but Floyd knew that he would win the match based on fitness. He took Oscar to deep waters and took over late. A younger Oscar would expose a different flaw and Floyd would exploit that.

Many fighters beat Floyd in hypotheticals. But in reality Floyd is:

50-0-0. Undefeated, Untied, Never been on his @ss, never been dominated over a 19 year career. That career will never be matched.

Oscar was actually beating Mayweather up to the later rounds. Oscar got lazy and essentially Floyd prevailed because of it.

During the last few years of DeLahoya's fighting career he would always gas out at the mid way point of every fight. He would get fat between fights and was snorting coke and drinking like a fish. Very reminiscent of Ricky Hatton's decline near the end of his career. He was way past his best when he fought Mayweather and Pacman.

I agree, DeLahoya was beating Mayweather til he gassed out mid way through the fight. Seems like Floyd ball lickers don't want to acknowledge body shots from DeLahoya.

LOL....Floyd made Oscar miss too much to consider Oscar did "reasonably well."

Well he barely squeaked out a decision on the cards and was having some problems in there...it wasn't a cake walk. The problem is Floyd nut huggers try to turn everything into a "schooling". He did enough to win that fight, but it wasn't emphatic by any means. If Oscar wasn't on his way out while Floyd was on his way up, the decision probably goes the other way...it was a passing of the ppv torch.

Floyd in his prime is too much for both at 130/135,PBF was a monster

Too much that he lost to Castillo. He can't even handle a Castillo. Just shows how you guys are over hyping this dude.

Oscar was easy work for Floyd. The judge that scored that fight in favor of fishnets is a moron.

Mayweather would adapt to every version of both fighters.

Ok "Floyd is TBE". You must be very impartial.

Funny you say that because a past his prime Oscar lost a disputed split decision by 1 point to Floyd yet you don’t see how a prime Oscar beats Floyd. Lol

You don’t know boxing if you really believe that lol

Yeah but a much smarter dela Hoya, who didn't rely solely on natural talent. Would have played out completely different altogether
