    De La Hoya stopped using the jab because Floyd started using his ...

    Anyone ever noticed this?

    A few people been saying it's De La Hoya's fault for not using the jab that lost him the fight; not at all - Mayweather offset his, and from then on it was victory to Floyd.

      Floyd, Floyd, Floyd, Floyd. No, Oscar has been using it longer than Floyd has.

              oscar did the same thing he did in the 2nd shane fight. Stop jabbing & controlling the fight to try to entertain & got worked & lost.

                  People won't give Pacquiao credit for stopping Cotto's jab either, they say Cotto just stopped throwing it. Yeah, after he was getting his ass kicked using it.

                      It was the straight right hand. It was getting to Oscar and when he jabbed, he would get tagged. Floyd's timing is second to none.

                          Oscar lost. He gave it all he could, but he lost. PBF doesn't get enough credit for that win simply because an older opponent won some rounds. A lot of people get caught up in the whole 'he stopped jabbing' thing, but it is what it is. Oscar didn't do what needed to be done to win.

                              does anyone else agree that the super 6 is losing steam because of the setbacks?

                              2 fights have been pushed back and Andre Ward has been injured....i just wanna see AA murder Carl Froch sooner than later

                                  I give DLH props for the Floyd fight, being a part-time fighter and still giving Floyd a fight says alot, Oscar did all he could.

                                      Floyd won a split decision against a faded DLH. That says a lot about ****ty Floyd.
