    You need to read his book. His reason for losing had nothing to do with roach.

    Oscar's still bitter at Floyd today. After Oscar "beat" Strum, he went over to Strum and admit Strum won. Floyd took 9 rounds away from him, but he still thinks he could beat Floyd. Floyd's mind games are STUPID CRAZY!

    He showed a second wind against both of those guys I felt, he came out stronger and quicker considering he had looked a little lost for ideas some rounds before.

    People want to believe the judges scorecards for Floyd's Oscar fight, because it makes Floyd look bad. They don't want to believe the judges scorecards for Floyd's first fight Castillo, because it makes Floyd look good.

    :patsch

  6. youre stupid as hell. when oscar fought mayweather he was coming off a huge knock out victory over iron chinned mayorga and he was fighting at a more natural weight. pacquiao didnt even knock a dehydrated oscar down. that victory is tainted. mayweather's win against oscar is one of his biggest.

    But any fighter can show a brave face and have 30 second burst in the last round, not many fighters can fight through their second wind for rounds ata time.

    Oscar couldnt do this he never had the belief in himself because he thought mentally he would be out on his feet in the last few rounds.:deal

    De La Hoya took the majority of early rounds off Mayweather. He then began to tire, neglected to use his jab and Mayweather capitalised and took the decision. A deserved decision, but still a close one.

    Mayweather fans like to believe it wasn't close because Floyd claimed the fight was gonna be a "****ing massacre"

    Hardly.

    If you ask me I think it's because he never really completed his boxing lexicon. He never showed that much adaptability, had an intrinsically flawed boxing stance, and once his athleticism and motivation faded somewhat and his bank account grew he stopped caring so much.

    Not true, Oscar Flurried like a madman against Floyd on the ropes...Floyd rolled, blocked, ducked these shots but the crowd went crazy and Oscar was given credit for nothing. The truth is Floyd landing the more accurate clean punches. It certainly wasn't a massacre but clear boxing win.

    Is Oscar ever going sign and waive the confidentiality clause?

    I have a feeling that homo roided...once or if he signs, his legacy will be tarnished forever.

    I never denied Floyd won, but he certainly didn't back up his pre-fight claims.

    Oscar was the one forcing the action. Not all of his shots got through, but some did. Just look at Floyd's face after the fight.

    I can't disagree with this. I think the fact the decision went against him in the Mosley 2 and Trinidad fight took away his interest in the sport. His conditioning in the Sturm fight was horrid and he shouldn't have got the decision. His fights after Hopkins he just too much time out and his age was going to see him look like the Oscar that fought at 135 and 140.

    As far as never completing his boxing Lexicon, do you feel that changing trainer so often might have something to do with that?
