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

[Don Pichardo]

You too lit right now. A prime Oscar would definitely give Floyd a hell of a fight. You dont know what you talking about when you say ring IQ? Just look at Oscar vs Tito and tell me De La Hoya doesn't have ring intelligence.

Lol he doesn’t. His strategy against Tito backfired. He gassed out but saved enough to run for the last four rounds. What the f iq is that. Poor strategy if u ask me. But can’t blame Oscar. Any other strategy would have gotten his head knocked off

[djtmal]

Gonna be 30 pages of people calling mosely butthurt/traumatized/unhinged/etc because he has an opinion

Right on....

[Don Pichardo]

UH...NO!

Remember had they both fight Mayweather earlier your talking about a BETTER VERSION of Mayweather as well before the Hand Injuries. That Version of Mayweather neither of them would stand a chance! Oscar sometimes get overlook which is hard to believe because he was a huge Draw but as far as skills Oscar sometimes doesn't get the Props he should get. Going back and watch Trinidad Fight he flat out Schooled Trinidad most of that fight but he finished the fight on his back foot which was a mistake and of course the Power of Don King behind Trinidad is why Trinidad got that Decision IMO

Yes Mayweather wanted to fight Mosley sooner than he did but It was Mosley who said he had to go get some "Dental Work Done" Out of all of them it was only Shane who had the BALLS to jump in with Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest when he probably did have to do it because neither was a Draw or anything at the time

Lol now we finished on his “back foot” against Trinidad. I know you didn’t see the fight. If yiu had yiu would have saw Oscar literally running away from Trinidad that last four rounds. Lol. I can’t stop laughing.

That's nonsense,absolute nonsense. Del la hoya was a good fighter but never in the same planet as Floyd. The man lost every big fight he was in. He himself admits Floyd is the far better fighter.

STFU

only reason mosley is saying this is cause he beat delahoya during that time. FOH mosley in my humble opinion Jin Mosley is the best goldigger in her prime.

July 15, 2006 Mosley KO's Fernando Vargas in a rematch.

Floyd has been calling out Shane for years. being ducked constantly.

when Larry Merchant finally presses Shane about it in the postfight interview this was Shane's response

"You know Antonio Margarito is out there waiting to fight Floyd...Those guys should fight each other and we can fight next year. The only thing I know is my tooth is a little lose and I might have to go to the dentist."

These responses should end this thread. Oscar not beating Floyd. Hellava fight yes. But win nope.

[Combat Talk Radio]

My only question is this.

Shane said he would've beaten Floyd had they fought at that time. Yet he ducked him - toothache as I recall - then got popped for PEDs.

So are we saying a chemically enhanced Mosley beats Floyd?

Because I agree.

[Nightfall]

B.S. mayweather is the most talented fight of his era and will get down and dirty if he needed too. he beats De la hoya in any stage of their careers because he's a better fighter period. end of the discussion.

[Nusky]

You ducked him while you were both in your prime because Floyd was a KILLER back then and everyone knew it(despite what bull**** lines they fed to the media.)

Prime Floyd would've ***** slapped De LA hoya around the ring like the cross dressing ***** he was/is.

Can't believe this meathead used to be my favorite fighter back in the day. Too many blows to the head I guess...

[KillaMane26]

I agree...prime Oscar, Mosley, Forrest, Trinidad, maybe prime cotto and Vargas....easily beat prime mayweather...

This has to be a joke

[hugh grant]

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.R

Floyd should have signed out as the best. But he signed out as a cherry picker. The last fight is what will stay in people's minds.
A man with a reputation for cherry picking decided last fight should be a cherry pick? It's not good however you spin it.
Should have signed out all guns blasing

[Bjl12]

Prime DLH could very well have beaten prime Floyd.

Shane would never have beaten Floyd at any point in his career.

Keep in mind Floyd's prime might have been 130. He fought too few fights at 135/140 to say otherwise although my hunch is his peak should've been 140. He went to 147 for the money which nobody can blame
