    Yeah and the 9 KO's he has best illustrates this, what a ****ing idiot.

    Floyd was terrified of Oscar and puched "at the target" in order to get away quickly. Thus, his shots had nothing on them.
    Forbes was a man with nothing to lose, and even though he was out gunned, outclassed, and out everything, when he punched, he threw them with intentions of them landing. So even though he is a weaker puncher than Floyd, he was a stronger "fighter" of the repsective nights. Also, Oscar did not seem interested in defending against Forbes.

    Forbes fought like a guy who had to come forward to beat DLH, he flung leather and got a lot in return. Floyd relied more on his defense and pot shotted instead of opening up with combos. Also I feel DLH has regressed since fighting Floyd.

    Sometimes guys just get banged up on certain occassions.

    Mosley, Sturm, and Quartey for instance, laid out more punishment on DLH than Gonzalez did, but DLH looked worse at the end of the MAGO fight than those other fights.

    Just looking at that video sequence, you can see that Mayweathers defense is set so that his main concern against DLH is to guard against the left hook.

    DLH's right hand just is'nt top caliber. Its as if Mayweather has no regard for it.

    Mosely, Cotto and Margarito are better two fisted fighters than either DLH of Ricky Hatton, the latter who are more reliant of there left hooks.

    Most would probably not agree, but the fight I'd most like to see Mayweather against is vs Margarito.
    The man just throws both his fists out there with equal authority, and is willing to take punishment to dish it out.

    There has got to be a reason that Mayweather turned down 8 million to fight Margarito, and I think he realizes that someone like Margarito with a rock solid chin, world class workrate, and one who throws caution to the wind, may be someone that may not be convenient for him to fight.

    The fighters I'd like to see Mayweather in against are in order....Margarito, Mosely, and Cotto.

    I know most of you would like to see the Cotto match, but he's the weakest chinned of the three, and with Mayweather's quick to load potshots from the outside.....I just think he nails Cotto and has him hurt numerous times for as long as the fight lasts.
