    He was motivated for Vargas. He was relatively motivated for Hopkins, in the way that he seemed to understand if he wasn't in shape, he'd get hurt. Mayorga motivated him too but he was past it by that point.

    Mayweather motivated DLH too. His peak as a fighter ended after the second Mosley fight, after then it was about money and boosting the profile of his GBP.

    As far as being at his personal best. Vargas fight. You can even argue that he was still prime going into the second Mosley fight. Just becase you lose dose not mean your not in your prime. Could be a case of the other guy is just better than you. As far as being good enough to beat the field. The Mayweather fight.

    He looked good but that was only because Mayorga would have never matched up well with him stylistically.

    I say his 2nd fight with Mosley.

    After that he was still a good fighter but he definitely wasn't at his best.

    I still consider the Oscar at 154 is already on a slide, albeit very slowly.

    I agree that Mosley I was his last prime performance.

    That was a different fight altogether. Oscar looked like **** against Sturm just walking in to the ring. Oscar looked good coming in against Hopkins and fought with no indication of being past prime until Hopkins stopped him. It's the difference in how well he prepared.

    Mosley 2. Actually most think he won 8-4 or 7 rounds to 5, but he won. Looked wicked fast and the most complete as a fighter in there. Looked really motivated.

    It was painfully obvious by the way DLH came into the ring against Sturm that he did not take this fight seriously and was no longer a full time fighter.
