    ODLH has lost his speed, reflexes and snap on his punches by then

      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.

      Which versions of Mayweather, Oscar, and Mosley are we talking? Because 154 wasn't the best weight for any of them. If we are talking prime for prime then Oscar vs Floyd has to happen at 135-140. I will throw out Oscar circa 1996 (the first JCC fight) vs. Floyd circa 2005 (the Gatti fight). That's a toss-up that could go either way to me. Both guys would be more offensive and I could actually see it being a chess match with tense moments. In fights that require concentration down the stretch, I have to go with Floyd to hold it together a little better. I could see Oscar troubling him with his jab and length though.

      As for Floyd and Mosley, I'm thinking Floyd circa 2001-2002 vs Mosley circa 1998-1999. Mosley's best bet would be to try and steamroll Floyd and apply pressure while Floyd would look to potshot with sharp punches to keep Shane honest. I give a slight edge to Floyd but it would be close.

        If a past his prime, one shot a time, 14 month layoff version of Mosley can rock him then a younger Mosley stops him. He would be throwing combinations with twice the speed.

        I see him losing a close decision to Oscar.

          That just makes no logical sense.
          It's funny how you think Oscar "arguably won" when he clearly lost. Your credibility ends right there

            I think oscar would be the interesting one, still dont think he would lose to either. Especially mosley unless by a punchers chance, mosley has always had trouble with boxers.

            Cotto outboxed mosley (no knock on cotto who is an underrated boxer) and this was when he was in his more of a "brawler/pressure fighter" phase of his career.

              We know you are weak because you always need some drugs to keep going.

              Anyway, and I am tired of hearing you say that you are out there doing nothing every night (my guess is you don't work at all)

              I think Prime Oscar would have win. Mosley, depends on how many training camps Floyd would have made him go thru before actually fighting him.

                Floyd wasn't confident that he could beat an over the hill ODLH in a rematch and thus semi retired just not to fight him again.

                Thats all you need to know.

                  A Delahoya who was wash up didn't train because he brought his wife to training camp almost or did beat Mayweather imagine a prime. A prime Mosley was roided so much he had more testosterone than a bull so he stops Mayweather in 9 rounds without steroids 50 50 fight

                    I still think he beats prime Shane. Mosley was too cautious and Floyd would still steal rounds against him.
                    I do think prime De La Hoya beats him with that jab. He had the right gameplan but just was too old to keep up the pace after the 5th round. Still made reasonably close.

                      Prime Mayweather still beat them all!

                      Only with a Prime Oscar, Robbery would've been very likely just like his fight with Pernell Whitaker. Vs a Prime Oscar and Shane, Mayweather would've been younger himself and if you know anything about boxing, Young Mayweather before the Hands Issues was even better than the Older Mayweather
