I duno cuz alot of people thought Oscar beat Floyd. We saw what Oscar has left vs Forbes and we saw what Berto did to the same guy last night so hes on that level .

The Floyd Oscar fight was pretty clear in my opinion.
there is no doubt in my mind that both Oscar and Shane have slipped that's not my debate, my opinion is that people though Oscar had slipped a lot more than Shane but after watching Oscars last two fights and Shane's it seems Shane has slipped more than Oscar. Shane's style has changed completely whilst Oscar now just stamina problems.
To be honest i thought ODLH beat Steve Forbes more clearly than Andre Berto beat Steve Forbes, Andre Berto lost 4 rounds against Forbes IMO. And was getting countered and was made to miss alot of punches.
I would love to know these people that thought ODLH beat Mayweather, because the only way people would think that, is if they had ODLH winning by a big lead after 9 rounds which is ridiculous.
Mayweather landed the cleaner more effective punches, ODLH tried to do what Mayorga did last night against Mosley. And thats throw flurries and try to fool the judges that there landing and effective, which they aren't.
I had Mayweather the clear winner over ODLH by 3 or 4 rounds, the only people who thought ODLH beat Mayweather are Mayweather haters.
I had Oscar winning by a small margin midway through, but, the second half of the fight was all Mayweather. I don't see how anyone could've had Oscar winning that fight.
But to answer the original question, I think Floyd beating Oscar is a bigger deal because Floyd fought out of his weight class while Cotto vs Mosley was two fighters in the same one.
Floyd's win was much more impressive than Cotto's over Shane, and I always felt that way.
Everyone tries to downplay PBF's win over De La Hoya. "Oscar is washed up". HOW? Its no prime De La Hoya, but he's still incredibly fast, incredibly heavy handed and had a HUGE size advantage over Floyd.
People can call that fight boring, but it was a complete master class in the science of boxing. Floyd blocked and made Oscar miss all night, while he operated like a surgeon offensively. Floyd won that fight definitively and the fact that some believe ODLH won is a testament to how bias can hamper basic common sense.
People forget that before his two sensational KOs over the ghost of Fernando Vargas, people were saying that Mosley was done and needed to retire, so this is nothing new. Cotto and Mosley are relatively the same size as well, unlike Floyd and DLH.
