    Can a fighter really have laid out a blueprint if they lost?

    De La Hoya-Mayweather, Danny Garcia-Everybody. Any other fights where the "loser" claimed to have laid a blueprint and do you believe the blueprint talk?

      How can you have the blueprint to beat a fighter if you lost, makes no sense.

      Mayweather for example, unbeaten in 48 fights but De La Hoya claimed to have the blueprint and passed it on to Canelo who also lost, and then Roach who said he worked on the blueprint for 5 years, his fighter also lost.

        To be fair, De La Hoya did get a split decision against Floyd. That's as close as we'll ever get to a blueprint.

          Anyone who thinks that fight was close doesn't know boxing, sadly.

            Sure a fighter can have the blue print/game plan that can beat a fighter, but not have the skills to implement it to a level that would translate into a win.

              Absolutely. You see that quite a bit, actually.

                Yep. It's definitely possible. De La Hoya didn't have one though.

                  He did show a couple things though. That right hand he landed toward the end of the eleventh is the same one Mosley used in the second. Anyway, he lost a wide decision. Like Shane.

                    Remember how they were saying that Mosley exposed Pac meanwhile he lost every single round.
