If Mosley used Roids' for the 2nd ODLH fight.....

[Ryn0]

Why did he perform worse? I'm not saying he didn't use them but Oscar outlanded him by what 100 punches according to Compubox (i can't remember the punch stats exactly)

He outlanded DLH in the first fight and won deservedly the 2nd fight was close IMO Oscar should have won but it begs the question at the very top level of the sport (against the elite) do Roids' really help that much?

De La Hoya fought a smarter fight than the first time around.

Mosley also hadn't won a fight in over two years, and didn't appear to be fighting with as much confidence (at least not in the Forrest rematch) as usual.

What comes in my mind is that Oscar got the speed at that time... And Mosley not performed worst at that fight...

Was Floyd Mayweather Sr. Oscar's trainer around the time of the 2nd match? If so, that could have been a major factor in as to why Oscar performed better in that match than the 1st one.

I think he either built up too much muscle or fell in love with his power because there was a stint in his career where he went 1 punch crazy, he'd just throw a big power punch and reload, those quick flurries we saw against Margarito weren't there for a while and DLH fought a better fight the second time around.

Thread Stealer nailed it right there!

Dela Hoya used the jab consistently and let Mosley lead off this time, so he could have opportunity to counter.

I've noticed that whenever boxers get caught from steroid-use, they usually lost the fight that they used steroids in or performed worse than usual.

I believe steroids caught up with Holyfield in the Bowe 3 and Moorer 1 fight.

It's why boxing is such a fantastic, skillful sport. You can't just beef yourself up (artificially at that) and expect to dominate, or even improve really. Mosley made a ****** mistake that he won't repeat again. He made the right move recently grabbing a new trainer and working on technique rather than brute force.
