Marquez beat manny in ALL of their fights. Stop overestimating manny as he EVER had a chance vs Floyd.

Every time I make a point at you, you don’t reply at that specific response instead you find another comment to react upon.
That has been the cycle so far.

Now I’m gonna make a point again towards you let’s see if you’ll respond.

First, how the hell marquez got included in this?
Second, was manny still at his prime when Floyd fought him??

If you answer yes to the second you’re an idiot.

Fact is it didn’t happen in their primes as we wished it did! Period!!!
So quit giving credit to Floyd as if he had beaten the prime version of specific fighters just because he likely would have!
It was a good win for his resume, but its not even close to being considered his best win.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya is confident that he would have beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. - if the two of them had fought a few years earlier. They collided in 2007, when De La Hoya was 34-years-old and Mayweather was 30, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

.......and Mayweather's prime was 140, Hoya. You lost to a140 pounder. Dude just trolled the higher weights to secure more money.

Well, delahoya at his prime at 147 is no cake walk for any atg stylewise.
Saying mayweather beats him there or vice versa as a forgone conclusion is BS. Cause we’ll never really know.
At 34 Oscar managed to win 4 rounds. And was hangin in there in some.
He has the height, the speed, the jab, the reach, the power and the chin to make what he’s saying right now possible during his prime. And he’s entitled to think that.

---------------------------------------

Riddle me this, when Oscar was 29 fighting at 147, Floyd was fighting as a lightweight aka 130 Ibs which means Floyd would have to skip 135 and 140 all the way to 147 to fight Oscar. Do you think that was feasible?
Would Oscar at 29 be willing to move to say a catch weight of 135 to fight Floyd then?

Also, the idea that Oscar was past his prime at 34 while Floyd was 30 is the dumbest thing to say. Was Oscar past his prime when he clearly lost to Felix Sturm in 2004 at 31? Or the same year when he got beat by Hopkins, still at 31?
When was Floyd at his prime?

These hypothetical dream matches are all hypotheticals. Oscar could never beat Floyd at any age. He ran against Trinidad in his "prime" yet calls Floyd a runner.
He "ran" against Hopkins the whole fight too and calls Floyd a runner.

Oscar is a fishnet wearing hypocrite and just jealous of Mayweather.

Do you have any idea how many times Freddie Roach say Manny wasn't ready for Floyd between 2009 and 2012? At least half a dozen times.
In that time Manny fought a weight drained Cotto and Margarito and a past his time Mosley who had literally just lost to Floyd.

Can you imagine Floyd fighting Mosley right after Mosley was beaten by Manny? Or Floyd fighting Brandon Rios, Algieri, Jeff Horn, Mathysse, Clottey, or draining Cotto and Margarito to some catch weight?

Oscar talks a lot of **** **** all this fictional if ****. They fought he lost the end

It isn't unreasonable to think that a prime Oscar beats Floyd. Oscar was 34 years old and coming off a KO loss to Hopkins and inactivity and he still won 4 rounds. In their primes I think thats a 50-50 fight.

I don’t care how great a fighter you are take 12 pounds of weight and make them fight at a lower weight against a speed king and pressure fighter such as Pacquiao and there is only one result. Also the fighter in question Oscar, was old. You can’t take nothing away from Pacquiao but you can not use that fight as a measuring tool to question other fighter’s performances against Oscar.

Maybe the poor performance against Steve Forbes is a good indicator.

He only beat Mayorga because the the guy has zero defense and one of the lowest boxing IQs around

Floyd had a better career and he was able to beat the young guys when he was 34. And he was smaller than Oscar but he still kicked his ass.

[apollocreed]

So the Oscar of when would have beaten Floyd? He had good power and speed and worked well with his left hand, as he was a left handed orthodox, but he never would have beaten Floyd imo.
I've noticed he barely moved his head throughout his career and his footwork was nothing special.
He was very good, but he was actually very beatable by a fighter with accuracy and fast hands, as Moseley showed.
