Could ODLH have beaten PBF?

[mattboxingfan]

He really didn't give Mayweather a run for his money, it was a relatively competitive fight which people aren't use to seeing, but Mayweather landed 207 to 122 punches. He outjabbed Oscar, and he landed more power punches. Ineffective aggression doesn't win fights, and Oscar wasn't barely landing 10 punches a round against Floyd, and those were 90% of the time glancing blows. Mayweather outboxed him and should have won 117-111 or 116-112. I can't believe how many rounds people felt Oscar won when Mayweather landed twice as many punches and three to four times as many clean punches in the same round. Oscar's jab wasn't that effective either, he only landed it 40 times the entire fight, and strategically it only took a couple of rounds for Mayweather to start countering over it with the right hand, and then Oscar stopped throwing it.

I don't think Oscar would have beaten Floyd earlier in his career, the keys that Oscar had when he faced Floyd as an older guy were better defensive skills and a little more patience. He tended to get sloppy when he was younger, and he has the same stamina problems. Also he was a lot bigger fighting Oscar at 154 than he was when he originally went up to the weight, and he wasn't that much slower. I actually think Mayweather beats a more inexperienced Oscar worse than he did, and I think Mayweather's Oscar would beat Vargas' Oscar for all the reasons said. He is bigger, much better defensively, smarter, better right hand, and only slightly slower.

laying on the ropes and taking shots on your arms doesn't win rounds either, and that's what Floyd would do for a good portion of the fight, IMO it was a close fight, and basically the last bit DLH had in his tank, i had Mayweather winning at most 116-112, the Oscar that fought Vargas or Mosley in the rematch would have beaten Mayweather in a close fight and would have stopped Pacquiao within 8 rounds

I think its best not to mention his name lol, but ye i totally agree.

I personally don't know how anyone can score that fight in favor of Oscar.

Floyd outboxed him in majority of the rounds especially the later rounds where DLH tired. DLH did snatch a few rounds due to a higher pace but even then he never landed anything significant. All the clean solid punches came from Mayweather.

I seen it being scored in favor of Floyd 9-3 or 8-4 at the very worst.

Could a prime Oscar beat Floyd ? Possibly, but i would still favor Mayweather due to his superior boxing skills and defensive smarts.
