      Nice to see DLH back in the scene. He doesn't seem to have much confidence on Maidana compared to how vocal he was during the Ortiz and Canelo buildups

      Angulo could turn out to be the wrong pick for a bounce back fight. If Angulo flattens him... where does Canelo go from there?

          When De la Hoya was talking at the end about Floyd taking care of himself, while it's true that Floyd doesn't drink or smoke he still eats mad junk food and drinks sodas lol dude doesn't take care of himself like that it's just genetics and God given talent and skill.. But It will be interesting to see the way Floyd performs at 37 now amazing

                man, there's just something pure about Oscar. Just seems like a damn good guy. Anybody else feel the same way/met him personally? Has always seemed very personable.

                  I really liked Oscar's comment about the jab being a lost art with this generation. It's so true!

                  I still contend that a prime Oscar would have given Floyd a lot of trouble with that stiff left jab, movement and combination punching.

                  He's absolutely right when he says the key to fighting a Mayweather is a strong consistant jab.

                  Guys like himself, Ike Quartey,Vernon Forrest would have been difficult for Floyd to deal with. All 3 of them didn't use it as a range finder it was thrown stiff and with power.

                  Guys these days don't throw it anymore and when they do they don't commit to it.
