I never thought I would say this, but Mayweather looked utterly out of his depth in the early rounds.

I'm very disappointed that DLH didn't get the decision. We saw the golden boy from one generation face the golden boy from another generation. The elder golden boy proved beyond doubt that he was the better fighter. Not that he needed to. Comparitive achievements already dictate that fact.
Well you must count missed flurries then because Oscar didn't win that fight and thats debatable if Oscar would win in his prime just face facts he is good fighter but never beat a great fighter and had gifts against Whitaker Quartey and Sturm and i wouldn't like to bet if he really would win in his prime and he didn't prove he is better fighter at all he lost i think you need to rewatch the fight.
Prime De La Hoya beats Mayweather EASILY!
Just like prime Oscar beat Quartey and a shot Whitaker all easy please give me a break Oscar was never great fighter a very good one ?? definetly but not great and i don't get where people get prime Oscar beats Mayweather easy its just nonsense.
Not nonsense if you think about it. Prime DLH would jab him to death and block everything Floyd would throw. I was very impressed a 34 year old Oscar was jabbing effectively ( until he stopped in the 9th ) and was also blocking a good amount of Floyd's shots. Also, prime Oscar would be a lot faster than the one on May 5th, 2007.

And yes...just like prime Oscar beat Quartey! That was a FIGHT! Quartey KOed Oscar in that one...wow! Damn I have to see it again!!!!! And yes Quartey probably won BUT how about DLH vs Mosley 2? How about DLH vs Trinidad? PURE ROBBERY. If you would look up Robbery in a dictionary it would give one definition and then under the 2nd definition it would also say " See DLH vs. Trinidad ".
