Did Mayweather go toe2toe with de la hoya?

In the last 10 seconds of round 12 he did yea!

Look, even if you gave a coward a billion dollars he would never fight like a man.

I don't buy this "coward" business. Floyd's a professional fighter, I don't think he's scared of anyone. The issue here is whether he went toe to toe as he claimed. Of course he didn't...

It would come across better if he said "I totally shut him down" instead of "I whupped his ass" because he didn't fool anyone.

I wouldn't call it toe to toe since PBF wasn't throwing much back, but he allowed DLH to pin him against the ropes occasionally and just show off that deffense. After the mid rounds, Oscar started getting tired and PBF pressing more.

Since when have we been acting like lawyers here? You know what I mean by "coward", like the "cowards" or the "warriors" of the sport.

I agree with the insanity comment. PBF didn't stand unless he HAD to, and he didn't press at all. I think he won, BARELY, and out of sheer poontangery, but he was on his horse all night. Oscar said it best at the end of the fight, "If I didn't press, there was no fight."
