    No he wouldn't PBF had too much footwork and ring generalship for that to happen. PBF's footwork was light years better than Oscar's. Not only that but PBF is adept at fighting off the ropes as he showed against Oscar in their fight. He can counter effectively and not get hit cleanly while there. PBF is just a bad match up for Oscar who needs to be the faster fighter in order to be effective.:deal

    Exactly my point. He started to use his right hand more at 147. At 140 which is the weight this fight is being talked about he was a one-handed fighter there.

    It was his first fight at 147, and he was under the same coach as he was at 140, the defensive wizard Jesus Rivero. Oscar has always had that right hand, it only became more pronounced later on because Mayweather Sr. wanted him to make it more prominent in his offense, throwing more one two, rather than those five and six punch combinations. Going a little of topic here but ook at Floyd Jr. quite a right hand focused fighter, he was moulded by his Dad and Uncle both of whom threw very nice right hands in their own day (Roger moreso). Proof of how trainers influence their fighters.

    He also developed better defensive technique after he teamed up with Mayweather Sr. by the time he fought Mayweather at 154.
