Are we too hard on Oscar for last fight?

I thought he did a pretty good job - compared to what Floyd does to his other opponents. I have to get Oscar credit and still think he'll beat some of the top Welterweights and Jr. Middleweights out there.

For some reason - he fought really stiff against Mayweather. If he loosens up and have some fun again - he'll give anyone a tough fight. Bring on Cotto!

 

Oscar is past his prime but not shot.

His defense against Mayweather was impressive, and he was doing good work with his jab. His stamina, which was been inconsistent throughout his career, failed him, and his legs aren't what they were before.

He conceivably could probably beat some of the top 154 lb. fighters out there, but I doubt he has the desire to do so. He can get motivated to be in good shape for top p4p fighters in Mayweather and Hopkins, or a loud trash mouth like Mayorga, but I doubt he has the desire to fight guys like Stinks or Karmazin or Forrest.

 

Very good point :good

 

I doubt Oscar has any interest in moving up the rankings and trying to restablish himself on the scene anymore, he's just out there looking for superfights to make a **** load of money by living of past achievements.

 

i think oscar has alot left in him.... but dont think hes that motivated at all(how could you when you have billions in the bank lol) look at the PBF fight he could have one that fight easily if he didnt abandon his jab.... why would u abandon your best punch... not to mention the jab sets up every thing....but hell fight cotto in may an i think he can knock him the pbf rematch in september

 

well doesnt have ALOT left in him a good 3 fights left in him ... an not ''easily'' won the fight but get a desicion an who knows he could have set something up with the jab

 

yea i mispelled alot lol.... i meant to say DLH will fight cotto in may theyve both come out an said they want to fight each other... an i think DLH can Knock him out then hell fight PBF in september,..... dlh had a interview last week an he said hes gonna fight in may then again in september he said he was looking at 3 opponents Cotto who he said he was really interested in an the winner of hatton mayweather.... an we all know what happened there lol

 

lol shows how much jack prescock knows... yea DLH is afraid of floyd

 

how when hes talkin bout a fight with cotto in may an then with floyd in september.... stupid always opening ur mouth when u dont know what your talkin bout... show at least some respect to the fighters lord knows ur ass would never step in the ring with any of them or say what u say about them face to face

 

yes. the man fought very well for his age, both real age and ring age, against argueably the best p4p fighter in the world. The fight was close and that is more than can be said about a ton of floyd fights.

Also, Oscar continues to fight the best out there mixed in with some tune ups. That is what fighters should be doing.

Not only that, but by staying in the mix he continues to bring fans to the sport and his GBP has put together some of the biggest fights in Recent Boxing History.

Oscar, like it or not, is great for the sport and in truth can still whooop most anyone out there, even at this stage in his career.

 

LOL! :rofl

And don't forget about Widdow Maker.

 

he's completely lost the bounce in his legs.

I consider him shot.

Mosley is imo past prime but not shot.

 

Nice post, couldn´t agree more!!:thumbsup

 

DLH needed to pump the jab at Mayweather as he predicted he would before the fight. When asked in a post fight interview why he didn't do it, he had no reply. That is an indication that his tme has past. Every boxer must retire eventually, DLH should do it now.
