Come on man, Floyd does that all the time. Alot of times he jerks his body all the way until he's bent over. One time I thought his hand touched the floor because he bent over so far and I was scared they were going to call it a knock down even though he wasnt hurt at all. Its just like Sweet Pea use to do. He wasnt hurtComment

I thought that DLH would easily be able to KD Floyd, but when I saw floyd's physique I changed my mind. He was in too good a shape to get KOed I knew it was going to a UD. I thought floyd got hit with some good shots and was able to shake it off.Comment

hey guys, go back and watch the beginning of round 11 when floyd landed a jab on oscar's body. watch the sound he makes. oscar was hurt by the punch for sure. then after that in the same round, floyd hit oscar with a left hook to the face and then to the body and oscar paused like he was hurt. then watch round 12 when floyd throws a right straight on oscar's head, oscar stumbled back and the crowd sighed with awes. the 5th round oscar knees buckled, and that same round when floyd landed a 1-2 punch and oscar was stunned for a second. floyd hurt oscar more than what you guys think. i've watched the fight now over 17 times, and i've rewinded so many times that my fingers are smushed in. oscar landed punches that floyd took well. floyd looked stronger than oscar in this fight. floyd landed crisper punches and he did hurt oscar several times. i wish i could post the 11th and 12th round on here, but i have to wait.
oh yeah, and if floyd went to the body more, like i've posted several times now, he would have kncoked oscar down or out, i guarantee you. floyd landed some nice body shots. he just didn't stay consistent with them like he usually does. floyd claimed that oscar would be surprised with his power, and i'm oscar was and many other people. like it's been stated by other boxers, floyd hits harder than you think.Last edited by pbftxrs316; 05-10-2007, 12:47 AM.Comment

I know you guys are big floyd fans, but you also understand boxing. So let me point out the following.
Dont fall in the trap in which floyd haters typically fall.
they usually say stuff like: "IF Oscar (Zab, whoever) kept on doing this THEN he would have won." And they forget there is a reason for what happens in the ring.
So now you guys are saying "Floyd could have been more aggressive, go more to the body". That was my exact same thought. "why not more body attack, he knows that's where he is going to hurt Oscar. Not the head, not if tito, hop, vargas, mayorga did not hurt him to the head.
In a later round, Floyd gets at mid-range (kinda like in the judah fight), he lands a series of punches pretty much at will, never getting hit. To me that was his biggest moment in the fight, but he did not follow up. Why? I dont know, but I think t is the same reason, for which he didnt work the body more, he chose not to stay at mid range and offer Oscar more chances to land that hook. Floyd was the one in the ring with Oscar, and he was the one feeling the punches. Just like Zab and Oscar were the ones throwing less and less punches.
Also, like you, i did not see Floyd in trouble at any time, but we know he is a smart fighter, and if he was ever hurt, he did not want to show that to a great finisher like Oscar.Comment
