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

In their dreams.

Either prime Mosley or prime Oscar would've definitely beat Floydie. Both had more power, and were equal or better in boxing talent. Plus both took more chances than Floydie. But I don't agree with Shane about Floydie being the best. He himself just said Oscar and Shane didn't fight Floydie at the right times. That's a Floydie trademark... wait out a fighter til he's faded. The list is long in that regard. And he juiced his last dozen or so fights.

If only prime Shane didn't have a toothache. If only a prime Oscar didn't make Floyd wait.

50 and O. Both of them making up the count.

Would’ve made for some fantastic bouts had PBF Mayweather taken on the WW prime years of Oscar, SSM. And let’s add Tito, Quartey, Winky and Vernon in there as well! Might not have gone 50-0 against that murderers row.

Floyd never fought many of big names in prime.
So should have fought gg g or spence and thurman

Shane and DLH were lucky they fought Mayweather when they did. 90s Mayweather would have put a bad hurting on them. A bit disingenious of him, knowing what he knows about Mayweather back then, pretending he's paying respect to DLH when he's just trying to make himself look good.

bitter haters

Floyd was the best end of he would of destroyed that circus clown bummerchenko too very easily would of knocked him out at lightweight......

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

A few things are off about your point. You forgot that Oscar had competed at 154 pounds before when Mayweather was fighting at 154 for the very first time in his career when he fought Oscar. Oscar also chose what gloves Mayweather could wear and the size of the ring.

The only advantage Floyd had over Oscar was youth and even that wasn't as big of an advantage considering he and Floyd are only 4 years apart in age.

Oscar in his prime barely beat an older, smaller Pernell Whitaker and he lost to Shane Mosley who is nowhere near as technical as Mayweather. Floyd beats Oscar at any age but I believe it's a close fight at any time because of how the two match up stylistically.

Remember your classic post where you said that Floyd needed to beat Mosley, Pac and Cotto to be an ATG. Now its GGG, Spence and Thurman even though he retired 2 years ago aged 40.

Oscar doesn't have the ring IQ to beat Floyd.

I get people hate Floyd on this site, but no version of De La Hoya beats Floyd.

Really? Oscar fought him to an extremely close decision in one of his last fights, but couldn't possibly have done better in his prime?

I don't buy that.
