    I think that if you put it that way, given his age and slightly diminished skills he looked sharp. Definitely not shot. I think most of us are comparing him to his best form and relating what we saw to how he'll do in the rematch. I think what we saw against Forbes, raises legitimate concerns regarding how he'll do in the rematch.

      Meaning you feel he will do worse?

        He's definitely not shot, I thought he was sharper than he has been in a while.

          Oscar is so shot that he couldn't do any damage to Steve Forbes. His punches had no power.

          You all could make believe all you like but that's the truth. Ask any expert ( except E. Stewart)

            i think he needs to sharpen up things to fight floyd properly. he was getting caught by some shots from forbes and if that was floyd it would've been worse for him.

            forbes landed some shots on DLH that caught oscars attention, there was a couple of shots that if it had been a bigger puncher, oscar would've had a big problem on his hands.........

            if it was floyd that landed those shots, oscar might have tasted the canvas.....

                i think he'll do worse against mayweather. floid got beat in the first fight by jl castillo, but in the rematch he adjusted to jlc's style and won that fight. floid does better the 2nd time around, the drag queen will look worse. steve forbes has nothing in common with floid anyway, except that they've both been trained by a mayweather, forbes isn't mentally sharp like floid. floid sticks to the plan all night, forbes goes in, maybe wins a couple rounds and then forgets the plan because he;s thinking about ****ing his hot wife valerie

                    I'm somewhere in between. I think he looked good, don't know about being his old sharp self.

                    And credit to Steve Forbes, good performance from a smaller fighter.

                      Oscar looked like Oscar to me! straight up & down, no special effects! I have NEVER wanted or cheered for DLH to EVER win a fight! but he looked far from a shot fighter!
