At 25 years of age, I would have beaten Mayweather with ease. ~Oscar De La Hoya

Oscar had a title when floyd fought him and was still knocking people out.

What did Oscar have when Pac fought him??


DLH couldn't even stop STEVIE FORBES and got his eyesocket cracked.

Oscar was far more over the hill when Pac fought him....Wee fella'....

Oscar lost to Sturm and got a gift decision. Got knocked out by BHOP.beat fricken Mayorga lol..He was already washed up when Floyd fought him don't fool yourself partner.

Oscar would have beaten Floyd fairly easily in his prime. His stiff cinsistant jab, combination and power punching with speed would have given Floyd all kinds of problems.

Especially with Floyd's low punch output. OscArs jab alone would have disrupted Floyd.

Younger fans that didn't watch prime OscAr won't know this and will most likely disagree because they didn't see it.

He also moved up to middleweight which was way to big nearing the end of his career to fight B-Hop. He took a big risk to make a fight people wanted to see. You know something Floyd isn't willing to do , take risks to make fights people wanna see

Protect the 0 at all costs instead of defining it.

I agree...imagine if Floyd ever went to 160 and fought Martinez a few years ago!!! That would have been epic..

Well you got a split decision against him past your prime, so ive no doubt hed beat FLoyd in his prime.

He would very likely have lasted the distance against Pac in his prime as well.

agree, in his prime he would've made Pac his *******.

Delahoya was a beast in his prime!

But would Floyd of adapted and changed his game if he was consistently getting caught with the jab?
Also, i think he can throw a lot more punches when he has to. Look at the Cotto fight.

I just think with Floyd, we dont know what he is capable of when he is clearly losing each round because it has never happened.

[AntonTheMeh]

with ease? nope. he had a very good chance at beating him though. as good as anyone.

[Jsmooth9876]

Floyd is a GREAT fighter but in no way is he unbeatable. ..Castillo beat him 7-5 IMO in the first fight and tons of people including Letterman had it a much wider score then that.
Floyd looks great against slow, flat footed guys the same way Manny does. Styles make fights..nobody but Manny at 147 have any shot against Floyd.. maybe Thurman in the near future but he's not close yet.

Oscar was the only one having a tough time in that Mayweather fight.

A 25 y/o Oscar was a one handed fight with the head-movement of Stephen Hawking.

Oscar lost all his big fights,and Mayweather would be no exception.
You can't beat Mayweather with no defense and a left hook.

What you say is incorrect, Oscar beat Whitaker, Chavez and Quartey and in the eyes of many, beat Tito too. Those were his biggest fights of the 90s and he was fully primed, he won each one of those.

Oscar's first legitimate loss, in my eyes anyway, came against Mosley and even then the great Sugar Man was doping. Then began the slow slide down, through which he won a title at middleweight and still managed to give Mayweather fits.
