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

Prime Oscar destroys Prime Floyd (and Prime Pacquiao for the matter)

Prime Oscar was a beast....

[JBell11]

I don't know why Floyd fans scoff at this hypothetical -
Oscar in his prime was a decent fighter. He did have a pretty heavy jab that would've kept PBF honest, he definitely had the ability to apply effective pressure and was a pretty good boxer. It may very well be the factor of age and inactivity that costed him the fight.

And so what he was "gifted" the fight against Sweet Pea - De La Hoya pressed the fight - it's not like that didn't happen before with PBF...sheeesh.

Nope. I don't think Oscar would have beaten Floyd at any point in their career. Also, the younger Floyd was a combination puncher and too versatile.

in 147 oscar can beat Floyd, but in 140 or 135 Floyd school oscar

[MELLY-MEL...]

It would be interesting.....imo both fighters were at their best at the lighter weights so id expect it would be a great and close,fight.

[Oasis_Lad]

The Transvestite is absolutely spot on.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

DLH was a beast in his prime. People clown him all the time because of the fishnet thing, the drugs, kids out of wedlock but as a prime boxer, he was a beast.

I think he beats Floyd and Pac.

[Luilun]

no doubt a young oscar tears him apart im almost willing to bet if oscar didn't come off a long lay off he would have beat fraudweather in 05 same with old man mosley

Delahoya might have stopped him at 25 years of age,If there was no steroid test Mosley knocks Mayweather out in that 2nd round. Mayweather actually tested positive for that Mosley bout but the test were thrown into the dumpster according to that writer Montoya. I believe Mayweather was on roids because he looked more Muscular than Mosley, he push Mosley around in that bout which seemed su****ious to me

But an out of shape,coke snorting,part time boxer full time promoter was able to win 5 rounds against Floyd though

[4Corners]

The fight would have been closer for sure, but I don't think he wins it.

People fool themselves into thinking the first fight was close because of the SD. Oscar won 3 rounds in that fight, mayyyybe 4. So perhaps he wins 4-5 rounds if he's younger and maybe even 6, and gets the decision.

But if Oscar gets to be at a better version, then so does Floyd. Floyd's not his best at 154, and it was his first fight there. Floyd would have been much better at 147.
