He has lost all of his biggest fights.
He has never beaten a top fighter in his prime.
He is the highest-grossing and richest boxer of all time.
He has five losses. Which is alot in this era.
Is Oscar a "great" fighter with a HOF pedigree...or is he just a handsome, articulate "B-level" boxer?

Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. is BETTER than Oscar Delahoya. Period

I knew Floyd would win. He's too cute too lose. I know why they call him the "Pretty One".

Oscar was out-boxing Trinidad and way ahead on points, till the last 3 rounds.
As a disciplined fighter, he abided by his trainer to play it safe on those last few rounds, which Tito didn't do much anyway.
That was precisely why the decision given in favor with Trinidad was very controversal...

Running is what Spinks did. Creating distance and looking for angles is what Floyd did. Since Floyd was landing hooks and uppercuts as his counters and then, yes getting out of there because, well, that's how he could win the fight, it was an effective strategy. In Hagler-Leonard, Leonard had a brief flurry for 20 seconds of each round (the first and last) and then did not engage Hagler at all the rest of the time. It was effective because judges are human like the rest of us, and thus remember the last thing they see more than other parts of the enterprise. Yes Floyd moved backwards, but always looking for openings to hit, not just trying to not get hit like Spinks was.
One is tempted to give the aggressor close rounds and if you wanted to do that, sure, Oscar got some rounds. But the rounds Floyd won in that fight were not close.

"Golden Boy is still a formidable fighter against those who'll come to really fight, rather than ran a race... "
Oscar "ran" from Trinidad, Mosley (fight II), & against Hopkins.
Don't know what you're talking about, Joe.
If there's one fighter you shouldn't use to measure Floyd against, it's Oscar DeLaHoya- the ultimate big fight disappointment.

Kinda like how Barerra "boxed beautifully" against Juarez in the second fight.. but Mayweather runs..
or how SRL was the definition of all that is great in boxing in the second Duran fight and against Hagler.. but Mayweather runs.
or...
