people use the argument that oscar blocked most of the punches ..

[demirturk]

OK could be , but oscar didn't land anything either. floyd kept dodging everything ! he made oscar look slow. and for me dodging is better then blocking with your gloves, since there is no contact at all. so floyd won !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! face it

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

There was hardly a clean punch landed in the fight. Not the greatest example of offensive prowess, was it?

[demirturk]

true , but somebody has got to win right?. it looked like floyd landed more , but i liked oscars jabs to floyds arms , in like round 7 ?? i'm not sure, floys was def. bothered by those.

I wouldn't mind if both Oscar and Floyd stayed retired after the dance-match they put on last night. They don't need their wallets any bigger.

Both guys showed good defense early, Floyd just sustained it throughout the entire duration of the fight. Oscars offense didn't suffer as he fatigued, but his defense did.

This is why boxing should lower glove size, not make them bigger.

Defense should be about making your opponent miss and parrying the punch. Of course you can block with your arms, but it isn't as effective without the big-puffy gloves.

You think some of these fighters could fight the way the fight in a match in a bare-knuckle fight? Nope.

What gave Mayweather the fight is dlh's jabbing and him getting tired in the late rounds and his defense falling apart.

[The Wire]

Mayweather is a very awkward fighter. DLH barely landed a solid punch on his all night long. Mayweather's punching was much more crisp and accurate although he also landed very few punches. I do think that this fight proved that sadly neither man is really an all time great, which doesnt say a whole lot about boxing these days. I really did think prior to this that Mayweather was. I hope that he continues so that he can give us some performances that do justice to his talents against other great fighter.

It is a shame then because if Mayweather is not an "all time great" then nobody today is. Boxing has gone down the johnny flusher. At least going by what you say.

Just remember, Floyd's best weight was down in the 130's. This is the weight that makes him one of the best.

That said however, I find it hard thinking Mayweather could beat Sugar Ray Robinson, or even Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns at 147.

[LOLORSKATES]

Did we see Mayweather pull an Ali on Oscar by letting him throw his best shots on the ropes in which caused Oscar to gas himself??
