Oscar won that fight and Mayweather knows it. That’s why he retired for a year and one day so that he didn’t have to honor the rematch clause.

Dela Hoya won that fight and was catching Floyd with combinations on the rope,Floyd just was looking pretty catching most of his shots on Oscar's glove.

[@TheJoeyG88]

Now while Oscar had some bad beats on terrible decisions (most notable vs Trinidad, and vs Mosley - 2) this one was not. I had Oscar up after 8 rounds 5-3, but he gassed out, and was tired letting Floyd turn it up and win the Final 4 Rounds and the fight 7-5. If Oscar wins one of those last 4 rounds its a legit draw, but Floyd's long term condition was better than most and definitely better than De LA Hoyas this fight. But a very good fight none the less Just my humble

@bayouboy8644 I'm guessing you misunderstood my post. I also think De Lahoya was robbed in Trinidad 1 and Mosley 2. And I also think Oscar was a true champion who fought everyone. But also with the same clear eyes that Floyd was down 5-3 to Oscar and Floyd took the last 4 rounds cause Oscar Faded. It's my honest perception. Just my Humble

[@Flexb123]

Ya I had Floyd by a couple rounds in this fight. Oscar had the early lead and Floyd and team banked on the aging Oscar gassing down the stretch, which they alluded to in the corner during the fight also (Floyds team). I also had Oscar pretty handily beating Mosley in rematch and Trinidad. Mosley 1 was a legit loss for Oscar and this Floyd fight but Oscar was also 6 years or more past prime facing Floyd. (also dealing with his addictions too by then) I think Oscar peaked around 1997-99 if memory serves. It is disgusting they robbed him in 2 of his biggest career defining fights (Tito and Mosley 2)

[@timw5358]

@@Stateballrus Floyd wasn't on his bike, he stood against the ropes and let Oscar throw ineffective flurries which he rolled, slipped or blocked. There are four criteria used to score a round in boxing. 1. Effective Agression 2. Ring Generalship 3. Defense 4. Clean Hard Punches. Oscar wild flurries weren't effective, and Mayweather get's credit for his defense, not to mention he landed the more clean punches. People don't understand, that when you throw a wild flurry against Mayweather and he makes you miss, that's scored for him. Mayweather is the most accurate puncher in the history of the point, hence why most fight will always be scored him. In the 2nd half of his career, he didn't throw as much, but when he did he landed clean and at a higher percentage than anyone else. He punches were clean, and his defense was off the charts. If you know boxing, He wont this fight easily 9-3. Good defense scores you points despite what people may believe. Floyd isn't a runner, which is someone just constantly moving around the ring so that neither fighter is ever in range to engage. He's defensive but he''s stand right there in front of you and let you throw wild flurries. He scores by making you miss, and countering. It also tires fighters out hence why so many guys seem to mysterious gas in the late rounds against him. People really need to learn how pro boxing works. It's not simply counting punches like the amateurs.

Watch the fight back with 0 volume. Oscar did win that fight. Oscar was the effective aggressor. Oscar was the ring general. Oscar pressed the action and landed more punches. Floyd missed A LOT of punches in that fight. Floyd's back was against the ropes the entire time. Floyd hit Oscars gloves all night. Many of Floyd's punches were not landed punches even though they were counted as landed punches. Even Floyd Mayweather Sr admitted to Larry Merchant that Oscar beat his son inside the ring right after the fight was finished🤷If Floyd loses that fight then the whole trajectory of boxing would have changed for the better. Instead, we are now left with a sport where "picking opponents" is the norm and fighting the best is simply a thing of the past. But I scored the fight 115-113 for Oscar. Oscar won the middle rounds with ease. And keep in mind that Oscar was old at this time...And he STILL beat Mayweather imo💯

@@regularbob yes please watch the fight with zero volume. Lampley and Merchant were HATING on floyd like a usual HBO fight. This was floyds first fight at 154 (came in weighing in at 150) and de la hoya outweighed him at least 15 pounds on fight night. De la hoya made mayweather wear those big heavyweight gloves instead of choosing any other gloves floyd was comfortable with. Watch them standing in front of each other and see how much bigger floyds gloves are. Floyds back was on the ropes because he wants to be on the ropes. He moves around the ring and he is so comfortable that he can lean on the ropes and not get hit. He was slipping in counter punches every time after oscar threw a bunch of punches. A perfect example is the 5th round when oscar was throwing and mayweather had him stumble, landing shots from oscar being so wild. He literally moves the same way in every fight. And how is this "picking opponents?" Oscar was the WBC light middleweight champion. He had been calling out de la hoya for YEARS before de la hoya actually fought him. Now i do think it was a close fight so im not saying mayweather won every round... but im curious.. what did your scorecard look like? which rounds did you give to oscar? Lederman is very accurate (imo) when it comes to judging and he still gave the fight mayweather. And who cares what mayweather sr said? Hes not a judge and he was barely a fighter lmao. Hes a great trainer but there was a lot of drama between mayweather and his father around that time.

@@clintondillon6109 he didn't beat him on the punch count. Oscar threw more punches but landed FAR less..

[@michaelangelo5580]

That's right. Oscar was the cash cow. Mayweather had never fought at 154. Smaller ring. Bigger gloves. Etc, even with everything against, Floyd still won. Not by a lot, but he won

[@takedat8751]

@@michaelangelo5580 Oscar was the face of boxing. The more popular fighter. Floyd was the young upstart villain. Oscar would only fight him if he moved up to 154. Floyd wasn't even 154 on fight night. Hell he couldn't weight 154 soak and wet. Oscar probably came in 160+ pounds that night. Oscar chose the weight, gloves, ring size, location, purse split, ring girls, and probably the damn clean up crew. He put everything in his favor to win the fight and still lost. Like you said, it was close but Floyd still won. Oscar is still pissed because Floyd never gave him a rematch. Floyd had to practically beg and insult Oscar to get a shot and wanted Oscar to beg him for a rematch but Oscar had too much pride for that and basically said FK off. "I'll never beg your little azz" LOL.

[@michaelangelo5580]

@@takedat8751 yes, most ppl don't realize what Floyd had to do to get the fight. The judges were always going to favor Oscar. But even they saw Floyd winning. I thought it was close, but clear that Floyd won. Floyd nearly knocked Oscar out too with a counter in round 5

I can't stand Mayweather. He's a coward and ducked people who were in their prime. But he won this fight. I'm a De La Hoya fan, for me he's the opposite of Mayweather. He fought all comers and didn't wait or hesitate.

flloyd missed 95% of his punches also, he just missed by oscar blocking the punches with his gloves so they still made a thumping sound and convinced novices probably like you that they were landing as opposed to when de la hoya missed it was because flloyd was dodging the punches.
