Did The De La Hoya fight prove what a hypejob Mayweather is?

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Prime Oscar would of beat the Mayweather of then but thats because Mayweather was not a prime welterweight then himself. It took Mayweather a while to grow properly into that weight. So neither were in their prime when they fought in my opinion.

Oh, kudos on the trolling btw

Floyd had been a welterweight for about 2 years starting with the Mitchell fight.

The only thing this thread proves is that a frightening amount of people haven't watched the fight and/or weren't watching boxing back then.

No, I'm sure many of them watched. They were impressed like a lot of the crowds with all the missed flurry & punches on the arms and scored them as connected punches just like the rest of the casual fans that don't know how to score a fight.

Just shows that your a plain old grade A hater if you won't hold them to the same standard.

Anyway, no more drawing me in, you posts are worthless enough for me to realize that I am completely wasting my time. Take care!

Same standard? What the hell are you talking about. I said relevance, you thick spastic! You're talking about a completely different subject and about a completely different fighter. Like I said, even given that set of circumstances you still see what you see as someone dissing your beloved floyd and yet all you can do is 'b-b-b-but Manny did wahhhh floyd, floydy goat floyd, manny pee pee, not fair floydy floyd waaaahhhh'.

A pigeon hole in which you and the complete dolt and fellow bumsniffing floyd fluffer you were addressing, fall squarely into more than any other fanbase in all of sport.

I dont care if he was there 5 years. He is an ok sized ww now and it took him a while to get there. He is not some monster ww. And he is a much better ww now than the one who fought Oscar then

Neither fight was really close~ and they certainly weren't close to beating Floyd. Oscar was pretty similar to Oscar that night and Cotto was pretty similar to Cotto so I don't see how they would do vastly better.

Oscar and Cotto are boxers they are offensive minded but still they are boxers and a boxing contest favors Floyd. Now that is why both guys didn't totally get made to look like chumps because they are thoughtful but if they threw caution to the wind they would get made to look worse because that is not what those guys are and recklessly going after Floyd is probably not a wise way to approach Floyd anyway.



Why not use the Castillo fight at least that was close and debatable, even though he clearly gave away a lot of rounds and was hard fought over the second half. Plus JLC was an excellent fighter at that point.


I will put it this way Floyd has fought enough quality guys that if he wasn't the goods he would have been tested much more severely, you don't stay on top with guys coming to win for that long without having it (whatever it is).
