    Could Atlas of gotten Oscar to keep throwing the jab?

    We all remember a gassed out Michael Moorer down the stretch against Evander Holyfield, thru body language alone it appeared Moorer was content on letting the fight of his life narrowly slip thru his fingers against a champion who on that night was just not right.

    But what happened?

    Teddy Atlas got in Moorers grill and motivated his fighter like we have never seen before, hell Teddy made it just as entertaining in between rounds, there ws literally no lull in the action!

    My question-could Teddy have given the same type of inspirational jarring to Oscar in the last 4-5 rounds of his fight with Floyd? Stuff like

    (while you read this use your best Teddy Atlas voice) "Oscar listen to me, listen to me Oscar your gonna cry tomorrow, your gonna cry, throw the ****in jab Oscar, this fight is easy when you throw the jab...Oscar look at me, look at me Oscar... can you give me 50 hard jabs this round, cmon Oscar look at me, throw the ****in jab, this is your fight if you can do that, we talked about no regrets right, well then no regrets, tell me you remember that"

    In retrospect ws Teddy the right guy for the job? Would he have let Oscar get lazy in there or is Oscar Oscar and his tendecny is to front run early and fade late regardless of who is in the corner.

    Could Teddy have made the difference?

      Freddy just it's the type of guy to get in a fighters face and scream at him.

      Which cost Oscar the fight I believe, he wasn't motivated.

        Oscar need 1 round to force a draw...not on my card but on the offical card and I gotta believe if he had Teddy screaming at him which would have been the case, screaming at him to let his jab go...I gotta believe on the offical card OScar at the very least pulls the draw.

          teddy would of been great also for oscar because he tells him straight-up what he has to do, but really it all comes down to the fighter,
          it does not do any good to tell a fighter (even though he knows) to throw the jab, and then not throw it

                yes! oscar made a mistake by hiring roach he should of pushed to hire atlas....atlas is good at brining the best out of a fighter in the corner he would of slapped oscar or threatened oscar if he doestn throw that jab more he will walk out the ring and leave oscar there.

                  Mayweather has superb timing and unearthly type speed. I bet that right counter was on DLH mind all the time. Thing is I did not think Floyd could hurt DLH with any of his punches but I guess DLH thought otherwise. He shouldve jabbed the smaller man to death.

                    There are reasons people abandon things. I feel De la Hoya being tired is not the only reason why he stopped throwing his jab. PBF had something to do with him not throwing his jab. Why is it so hard for yall to give PBF credit?
