I will say that Floyd's skill at adapting and circumventing his opponents strength is good though.

Roy and Tyson were superior athletes but Floyd probably has better ring IQ. Floyd doesn't have that same aura about him as Tyson nor is he as dominant as Roy ... both of these guys looked untouchable in their primes. I don't get that from Floyd ... Castillo showed how to beat him and he barely got by Oscar. He also hasn't fought the best fighters at their best. Tyson's victims just looked to survive and Roy's opponents tried not to be embarrassed.
I was a huge Oscar fan, and wanted him to beat Floyd badly, so much so that when I first saw the fight I had it very close.
Having watched it recently with a much greater appreciation of Floyd and my love of Oscar fading I can honstly say I thought Floyd won it easily. I couldn't give more than a couple of rounds to De La Hoya.
