    Who is the A side between prime ODLH and Mayweather?

    If the ODLH that faced Julio Cesar Chavez faced off against the Mayweather from the Cotto fight at 154, who is the A side fighter. The two most popular fighters of our generation. When they fought in 2007, an old ODLH was the A side and nearly beat Mayweather. People forget that ODLH was the PPV champ before Mayweather came along. He made nearly a Billion dollars from PPV fights.

    ODLH is . Serously both are great, but i think De La Hoya takes that.

      I didn't realize that Mayweather has 4 of the 5 highest selling PPV's in sports history. That includes the fight with De La Hoya. A prime Mayweather-ODLH fight gets 5 Million buys in 2020.

        Floyd 100%. Floyd is the biggest PPV draw in the history of boxing. Oscar's biggest PPV involved Floyd. Floyd's biggest PPV didn't involve Oscar.

          Floyd

          Floyd is a master at being loved or hated

          Guys who want to be liked by everyone [ODLH, manny, etc] don’t have as strong of followings

            If they fight before 2010 Oscar is the A side. If they fight after 2010 Floyd is the A side.

            It's hard to say who would be the A side if they were both at the peak of their fame at the same time because their peaks came at different times.

              De La Hoya literally was the A side.

                He was A side vs Pretty Boy, not Money Mayweather. A clear distinction that has to be made.

                  Oscar paved the way to create Money Mayweather
