Lets talk about De La Hoya VS. Mayweather

[Dorian]

A win is a win.

People tend to forget that sometimes.

Exactly...I don't get why people say DLH was so past his prime. He was only 34! Mayweather's gonna be 34 next year. Yes, he wasn't completely at his best, but he was definitely still a contender. People seem to forget that he was beating Hopkins before the KO, and he only stopped fighting for a year after that, and then he came back to stop Mayorga in like 5 or 6 rounds. That seems like a contender to me.

Plus he was at 154, he didn't have to kill himself to make weight.(not trying to discredit Pacquiao or anything)

OK.. this is an excellent fight to compare the shane fight to..
Floyd will fight this way on may 1..

boring decision..

I thought DLH looked great in this fight.. honestly, he looked almost prime..

I remember floyd winning by like 2 to 3 rounds on my card.. and i was rooting for oscar

Are you kidding me Oscar looked nowher near his prime. i have followed his entire career and in his prime he would continuously fire his jab and it would set everything else up especially the left hook. He was also much faster and would finish in the last three rounds. He was clearly toward the end and nowhere near his prime. Like I said in his prime he had one of the best and stiffest jabs and would not get gun shy and stop throwing it. He also moved a lot more and was always his best bouncing on his toes firing his jab, and set up all his timing. I watched him from the Olympics on and he was nowhere near his prime!!!!!

Oscar did not stop throwing the Jab in the later rounds. Oscar stopped landing the Jab in the later rounds.

This has been proven through compubox.

I though Oscar looked pretty damn good. I wouldn't say "prime", but pretty good. Regardless, no version of Oscar beats Floyd, and that fight wasn't nearly as close as the scorecards and decision led to believe.

A routine UD for Floyd.

Sorry I don't agree he used to throw it more and had more snap on it at this point in his career he was so much more flat footed. He used to move and bounce a lot more, he was coming forward but was stationary for the mose part. Watch the trinidad fight other than the last 3 rounds. That is a good fight that displays his movement,speed, and jab. I beleive a prime Oscar does win a decision over Floyd.

I will say it is nice to debate something other than Floyd and Pac for a change

The fight that has...

1. Highest PPV Sales
2. Controversial Split Decision
3. Fight fans got bored of how Mayweather fights(chicken-style)
4. Fight fans feels they got robbed. It was only De La Hoya pressing the fight.

In that 12 rounds thses are only the scenes that there is actual fighting the rest is DLH is chasing Fraud Mayweather.



On May 1...is there an assurance that Mayweather wont fight like a chicken and wont run away in circles from his opponent??

Is that fight worth-paying for?????

Small, Smaller, Smallest. SSM, PBF, PACQUIAO... hoja broke the mold and was allowed to challenge fighters not quite as big as him.(due to his popularity, and "charm" and revenue he generated) But the bottom line is... He couldn't beat any of them!!! And QUIT without winning a single round against the Smallest. The split decisions with Shane and Floyd were gifts. The beatdown and quit job (again against the smallest) Was????

Most of boxing fans believes DLH won that fight.
