Does Oscar consider Mayweather a better fighter than Oscar? Sounds like it! Interesting.

mayweather is undeniably P4P no 1....oscar has been away a long time....

until oscar actually beats him im sure he will say such things....but would he beat mayweather? thats the other key question??

Yes, that is where we must speculate until they meet. Certainly Mayweather has a less ambiguous record - zero defeats - but Oscar has met a greater variety of challenges. But Oscar's words are rather clear. He didn't say "based on Floyd's unblemished record he deserves to be called P4P best boxer in the world." He didn't couch his words on 'if you look at it this way .... if you use these metrics ....' - he just said "Mayweather is probably the best fighter in the world."

After the flush of an Oscar win, there will be many who will gladly say that Oscar will beat Floyd, and then it will settle down to be debated more reasonably. I hope they will meet, and I will be rooting for Oscar.

good posting

If, indeed they do meet I will be supporting Oscar.....Oscar is back in my good books after that...

He hasnt looked that impressive for a long while....awesome...
