I mean I guess DLH controlled the pace if "controlling the pace" is getting jabbed in the face for 12 rounds and occassionally missing with combinations against the ropes.
Did or didn't Mayweather control the pace for 90% of the fight.
Or am I just delusional?
He did he set the pace. DLH had spots of flurries when he was able to corner PBF but even his flurries landed at abismal percentages or when they landed they were to low effect due to PBF's shoulder rolls and blocking most of those body punch flurries with his arm.
Even most times DLH landed it wasn't power shots because he didn't appear to load up on many shots. He appeared to be punching for speed and not power.
PBF showed ring smarts and kept it a boxing match and not a brawl which DLH weighting 20lbs more would've preferred.
If Wright beats Hopkins then he is still right there with Mayweather. If it wasn't for Mayweather's ability to dominate almost every fight then Wright would be #1.
IMO If Wright beats Hopkins then he'll be #2 on my list. He'd be higher then Manny just because technically I think he's better, but I dont think his skills are up to par with Mayweathers'. Wright, Hopkins and Oscar are all in the twilight of their careers, Floyd is prime. I don't believe he's gonna retire and i'm very interested in seeing how he would fair against Mosely.
