    Sorry, but his win was hardly convincing. Could have gone either way had Oscar worked his jab more throughout the fight. In fact, if I remember correctly, if one judge gave Oscar the 12th round it would have been a draw.

    I agee Floyd won, but it really felt like Oscar let victory slip away more than Floyd seizing it.

      Oscar wasn't afraid of him. No way.
      yea but oscar didnt want the rematch at 147 either

        floyd fought half assed and it was obvious..to promote a rematch..oscar quit throwing the jab cause he was getting countered with the right

          I understood your question I just wondered if you thought he fought scared.

          Anyway ... I think my first answer sums it up, he wasn't scared but he certainly knew he couldn't win without the advantages he gave himself.

          On the other hand I'm not sure the fight would have gone much different at 147lb's, sure that is Floyds natural weight or at least his more comfortable weight but the extra pounds didn't seem to affect him in the Oscar fight. Also for all we know Oscar may have benefited from fighting at 147lb's, he may have been faster, sharper ... well never know.

                Give me a break.
                nearly knocked him down twice i recall.
                1 body shot, and we all no about them two shots against the ropes. best punches of the fight.
