    Oscar was a damn good fighter. I wasn't a fan, but he was good.


    At 130, 135, 140, I figured I wouldn't see this guy in any real good scraps, serious fireworks, for like 2 or 3 more years or whatever until he got up to Welter where he belonged.

    These guys were just too small for him.




    At 147, a prime seasoned 24 year old Oscar was fighting really well at the time of the David Kamau fight in 1997. Kamau was 28 wins(21 KOs), 1 loss at the time.

    DLH from 1997-2000 was very hard to beat. He made a fool of Trinidad and was denied the win. Mosley beat him fair and square in fight 1 (not fight 2) he had close calls with Whitaker and Quartey, but Oscar fought the best and you can't say he ducked anyone back then. At 140lb i give him every chance of beating Floyd. It would be even money at 147lb also.
    How would Floyd handle Whitaker, Quartey, Trinidad and the 2000 version of Shane Mosley?

    Not to discredit Oscar but that fight really illustrates how different fighters got different treatment not necessarily based on ability. I'm not going to name names and sidetrack this but David Kamau never rose to champion yet HBO pushed him as a quality opponent. Even going so far as to outright lie repeatedly. "First time Oscar has faced someone with a longer reach" "his tremendous reach" etcetera, dude had a 69" reach. That's right, 69" while being a tall fighter he had short arms. But Oscar always got the hard sell.

    I think it's a tough fight but oscars jab makes the difference. Floyd takes over the late stages of the fight but oscars early lead gets him the close win. Bad style match up for Floyd IMO.

    I think a Prime De la Hoya beats a Prime Floyd Mayweather and a Prime Manny Pacquiao. Oscar damn near beat Floyd when they actually fought which was well past Oscar's hay day.

    Oscar was really good at 135 and 140. But Floyd was special at 135...at that weight his movement was unreal and he was more offensive as well.

    At 130, but not 135.
    He only had 4 matches at 135, and 2 of them were to Castillo who whupped Floyd's @$$ in Floyd's 1st fight at 135.

    First fight they had was very close and in the rematch Mayweather beat Jlc quiet clearly there was no ass whopping that took place. At 135 i am not sure who were the Top guys Oscar fought at the weight again i have to go back and watch his fights it be a close fight though.

    Yes he can, because Oscar was still kind of green at that weight and that was not his best weight. Welterweight was Oscar's best weight class and at his peak. Floyd, imo isn't beating Oscar at WW, he has a better shot at 135. At 140 Oscar was coming into his prime, but 147 was when he was at his best.

    You could be right about super feather for Oscar looking at his record he beat Jeff Mayweather. Oscar stopped Genaro Hernandez first at lightweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
