    I'm gonna say the odds are about 50/50. Prime DLH and prime Mosley were both great fighters while they were at their peak. Either of the two stood a fair chance at defeating Floyd. I'm not saying they would have for sure but either one would have been Floyd's toughest opponent and either might have won

      I've always thought a prime Welter Oscar beats the 147 version of Floyd. Mosley is the iffy one because at 135 I actually would pick Mosley but at 147 I may take Floyd.

        That just makes no logical sense.
        Yes it does..... The harder you push an elite fighter the harder they fight back. Plus Floyd was at the end of his prime he would be even sharper in the middle of his prime.

        Floyd tougher than people give credit for.... If Oscar was fcking Floyd up you don't think he ain't gonna "grow a tail and wings and start spitting out fire"

        But I think most can agree it would be a 50/50 type fight

          You mean the fight when Oscar lost despite have all the advantages including exploiting Floyd’s hand problems and choosing weight.

            I think he beats them both but the fights would be closer. He only lost one round against Mosley so I think he could beat a prime Mosley. Oscar was not that old or that far past prime when he fought Mayweather and I thought Mayweather beat him clearly by landing more and cleaner better punches.

              Oscar was 34 years old and Mayweather was 30 years old. that is not like an old man fighting a prime kid.

                I think they both become 50-50 fights. The DLH-Floyd fight was super close, but I think the weight class advantage for Oscar evens out the fact he was in decline.

                  He gets worked over. Hence the reason he avoided Mosley at 135 and stalled the fight for as long as he could. He also ducked a rematch with a past-prime Oscar who should have won that fight.

                    That fight was awfully close. I mean real motherfkking close.

                    I then started wondering about that time when Mosley cracked Mayweather in the second round, but he could just not close it out.

                    How does Mayweather do against Prime Oscar and Mosley?

                      Prime Oscar eats Floyd up.

                      Faded Oscar should have gotten a draw IMO

                      Floyd wanted none of that until Oscar showed clear decline as represented in the Hopkins fight

                      Par for the FMJ plan I'm afraid
