Oscar slowed down, it had nothing to do with Floyd doing anything except being able to counter Oscar's jab more, but that was due to oscar slowing. This notorious fading you say is such BS. It only happened vs. tito. Mosley 1st fight was a war! It was amazing Shane didn't slow down, but Oscar was still extremely active. It happened a bit in the Floyd fight, oscar was over the hill. But Oscar was actually known for CLOSING the show. And he did vs. Oba Carr, Vargas, Quartey, Casteilljo, Molina if I remember right and many more he finished strong in. Funny he has 1-2 fights where he gassed and people say it was typical for him lol
Oscar was noticeably pale too, looked sick. Yes he made weight, but he wasn't healthy. You add over-the-hill fighter + sick = completely shot. Even in the forbes fight oscar was getting hit way more than he used to, not to mention given a black eye in sparring leading up to the pac fight, what's his name, passed away fighter, beating oscar in sparring sessions.
no he did not jump 3 weight classes he had just come off fighting David Diaz at 135. a fight in whci in struggled to make weight. And Oscar was drained as evidenced by Roach's post fight comments of. "i saw IV marks in oscars arm during the ref instructions, when we got back to the corner i told Manny to jump on him". So, try again
What's the point of starting a thread like this if you say stuff like 'Floyd clearly won it!'. :dead Besides, what did Floyd do once the contract ended again?
Mayweather won 116-112. Rather underwhemling fight and performance by Mayweather. His offensive was pretty bad (save me your Compubox junk).
I had Floyd winning that fight 8-4. He had to bring Oscar out to the center of the ring to be effective.
