It Was Oscar's Fault For Boring Fight!

No matter what Oscar did, Floyd was going to stick, move, box, and win.

So all that stuff you said made no sense.

IMO, Floyd didn't even put on his best performance in that fight, and he still won.

Had he fought Oscar the way he fought Corrales (r.i.p.), it would've made for a much more exciting bout.

Which he could have easily done.

Both of these guys COULD have made the fight more exciting but that is not their style. We can blame both of them. As the bigger man DLH should have pressed the action especially if Mayweather couldn't hurt him. Mayweather certainly could have stood in the pocket and used more combination punching but he was the smaller man and that isn't the best strategy. Anyhow the fight was what it was nothing more nothing less. We can play the hypothetical game all night.

and Floyd isnt known for his power but Oscar still showed him that respect?

oscar and floyd have comparable ko ratios..any fighter that gets in the ring with floyd and doesn't take into account his power is ******. oscar stopped fighting after the 5th round, a round in which floyd took his heart with multiple counter rights. Oscar's only hope was to brawl with floyd because from a technical standpoint he is not on floyds level.

[Picas_iscariot]

You're right on point

[Lethal]

Oscar was the aggressor. He pushed the pace.

Considering Oscar's best rounds were 6, 7 and 8 this is a very poor statement. Oscar could have done more but FLoyd did far less to push the fight. That said at this weight its what you will get fromFloyd time and time again because it is the only way he can win.
