Oscar De La Hoya giving Floyd his reverence is all you need to hear and should definitely put to rest whatever distain people have for Floyd Mayweather. Let’s be clear. Oscar De La Hoya was HIM when he was at his prime. When I was a kid it was him and Roy Jones Jr that was dominating. I Love Unk but he was trying to get Oscar to say something bad regarding Floyd and Oscar did not because he knows Floyd was no joke.
