People that think Floyd walked away with it need to look at just how many punches landed on Oscar's gloves and and arms and therefore DO NOT SCORE.
That said Floyd did do enough imo

There is an argument that a prime Floyd only jusT beat a very far from prime Oscar De L Hoya, but nuff respect he was fighting a bigger guy (although they only weighed 2 pounds different on their debuts, i.e natural sizes )

Great fight - loved it
To be fair, people then would also have to look at many of De La Hoya's "flurries", and see how a lot of those punches were more for show and didn't connect.
