Floyd is Floyd and 8 out of 10 times he is a boxer. We all know that. People keep talking about what Floyd said he was going to do but what about Oscar? He said the same **** and even more. Real boxing fans like us knew that Floyd would box. Oscar is the guy who didnt push the fight.
The problem is that people get mixed up between a guy coming forward and a guy pushing the fight. They think Oscar did something because he came forward? So the **** what. He didnt sell out at all. He's got a guy in front of him who he outweighs by 20 pounds and belongs at 140 but yet he cant make Floyd fight? Thats a ****in joke. What about all that **** him and Roach were talking about how there going to get dirty and make it a dog fight. Thats what anyone would do with that huge weight advantage. Oscar came forward but he wasnt aggressive at all. He was just as cautious as Floyd and thats sad. Just because your coming forward doesnt mean your not cautious.
Taylor came forward the whole fight against Spinks but did he do ****? No, thats why Manny and all the fans ripped him. He was super cautious also. Atleast he had somewhat of an excuse. Spinks Southpaw style threw him off and when he sold out early he got hit by blind punches. Floyd is a righty and didnt move nearly as much as Spinks.
What Oscar shouldve done is what a guy like Floyd and others do. Look at when Floyd played the stalker role against guys like Zab, Mitchell, Corley, and others. He walked them down and made them fight. He walked them down and punished them. Floyd is a elite fighter who knows how to cut off the ring and make guys fight. All those guys moved way more then Floyd did against Oscar. Floyd is not even a stalker but when he does it he can do it even better then Oscar. Look at Cotto. Zab did a little early but then ran the rest of the fight. Did they stink it up? No, because Cotto made Zab's ass fight. He walked him down, kept constant pressure, and punished him. Zab moved way more then Floyd. Paulie is the same way. Look how Cotto made him fight.
Now think about Floyd vs Cotto, Mosley, & Margarito. You think those guys wouldnt make it a action packed fight no matter what Floyd tried to do? Those guys sell out and make you fight. There not cautious like Oscar was. Floyd didnt run like Dirrell and he didnt even do what Spinks or Zab does. Floyd just steps to the side. You all know that Floyd takes his time and hardly moves. He's not that hard to get too if you really want to get to him. Oscar didnt. Oscar just KO a big strong guy like Mayorga but wouldnt apply any real pressure to a shrimp like Floyd who he has 20 pounds and 3 inches on? It makes no sense. Lets think about Floyd fighting a guy he outweighs by 20 pounds. 1st off he only weighs 148 so the guy would probally be a guy who fights at a 122 pounds. You think Floyd wouldnt walk that guy down and crush him? Lets even say that Floyd was fighting MAB. MAB would try to box like he did against Juarez but you think Floyd wouldnt make his ass fight? Even if Floyd fought someone like Pauliel, he would walk him down and punish him or atleast make him fight. Thats Oscars job. Look at how Freitas started running from Diaz? What did Diaz do? That **** is Oscar's fault.
Floyd was the guy moving up fighting a guy who is 3 inches taller, 20 pounds bigger, and just KO a huge Mayorga while Floyd should be at 140. Floyd is the guy who was fighting at 154 and coming into the ring 6 pounds under the limit. Floyd is the guy who didnt know what to expect at that weight and all he heard about was how he had to watch out for Oscar's hook and power. Even Sr. kept telling Floyd in camp to respect Oscar's power. You knew he would fight like that. I think he would fight different in a rematch because he saw he could handle the weight but Oscar didnt sell out at all. How many times were Floyd on the ropes? Oscar hardly ever rushed and tried to flurry. The ring was super small, they had little gloves on, and Floyd isnt known for his power but Oscar still showed him that respect? I bet anything that if Floyd fights Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, or even Hatton then it would be a exciting fight because even if Floyd didnt want to throw one punch all night they would make Floyd fight or dominate him if he didnt. You cant put that **** on Floyd. How can people blame Floyd but then rip Taylor when Spinks ran 10x more then Floyd? Its a joke
Now hes talking about injuries and B.S. If he has so many excuses then why not have a rematch? If he thinks he can win so easy then why not a rematch?
