    God, I forget how dumb sometimes Oscar was in this fight. I don't see Shane coming in that wide open, head first. Looked like Oscar paused and kinda forgot what to do lol.

      Here's the thing with Floyd at the higher weights. He HAS the power to knock guys out. But he knows he's fighting bigger guys and he fights WAY more cautiously. He hardly ever really puts combos together anymore, and if he does they aren't more than 2 punches, because he wants to get out of the way.

      Floyd has the power to knock out Welterweights, he just doesn't fight the kind of way needed to score a KO.
      I agree with this as well.

          He hits you right on the sweet spot, and a lot of the time when you don't see or know when it's coming.

          It's not prime Tito type of power.

          But he has pop.
          You hit on it on the head here Reed. Not that devastating one punch power. The speed plus the accuracy that makes his shots have an effect on his opponents.

            Yeah he was dumbfounded...

            "like **** now what"

            He got stunned too.

            hahah

            But hey I just did something. I noticed how you said Oscar looked like a fool I so I watched only him. Then I watched only Floyd and the skill and smarts difference is obvious. Floyd was studying him like a book.

              He isn't featherfisted i mean he KTFO Hatton and beat up Gatti at 140..

              Judah he was just beating up towards the end don't think he was gonna get a KO but probably a tko before the low blow. His latest fights Oscar/Marquez/Baldo he didn't throw enough to really hurt them badly, i mean he buckled Oscar at a stage. But i'd say his lack of combos is hurting him more in recent fights

              I'd rate him a 5 or 6/10

                He get hits by a right small right hook that knocks him back before the big one stuns him briefly

                    If you are going to troll you will be placed on ignore. Show some kind of boxing knowledge or get out my thread.

                      Yea Oscar at that point didn't have the tools he once had, adding the fact that Floyd's the best counter puncher in the biz, it just spelled for disaster. The hype was great and they even had me convinced Oscar had this chance of beating Floyd, but that was Floyd's fight to lose.
