I look at it like this when Floyd fought oscar yes oscar was YOUNGER technically but it wasnt as if he already wasnt past his prime anyway.
Hatton...lets not go there...we all knew floyd was going to be much more the technically sound fighter and for hatton is was going to be a hard fight...the styles and skill set favored floyd heavily. He had the defensive skill...the great boxing technique and smarts to out think hatton...
on the contrast...
granted oscar was technically OLDER and weight drained when he fought pacman but the reason I believe he looked so terrible (apart from being weight drained) was who he was fighting...he was fighting a fast...slick...powerful pacman who really wore oscar out...the pace was much different from the oscar v. floyd fight...pacman didnt allow oscar time to think and catch a breathe like floyd did...the pace proved to be too much and combined with the weight draining it showed.
hatton has been gaining weight between fights for the longest...big weight...40lbs and up sometimes...thats nothing new...however it already began to take its toll before he fought pacman...it was apparent during the floyd fight...during the lazcano tune up fight especially...late in the fight hatton found himself in trouble against a hand picked tune up fight. his age and weight gain/drain showed.
what im trying to say basically is both are impressive and unimpressive in different ways.
you can really make a good arguement either way.
I personally cant decide which is more impressive overall...however i can say that its obviously apparent we need to see floyd v. pac. period.

oh, and you do realise that as boxers get older (as time passes) they degenerate. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Forbes fight after the Mayweather fight? Thus Oscar would have been older?
I realize after days and months go by, people get older. I dont remember dis*****g anyone of this. Thats what happens in time. In fact, after seconds go by, youre older.
I dont even remember arguing oscar's age in both fights, but now I see youre either a floyd fan or a manny hater.
Look, im not gonna dispute oscar was older, but that is a poor argument. He had a fight in between both boxers, and it was only 1 year and a half apart between each other. I would take it as a valid point if it were at least 3 years apart but it wasnt.

pac didnt lose ONE round to hatton or DLH, mayweather did
