I was disgusted with De La Hoya's post fight comments. He basically belittled Floyd. He said "well I'm 34 and he's 30." Wow. Nobody really brought that up when you beat a past it Chavez and cracked out Pernell Whitaker. We gave you credit for those wins. Floyd fought in the gloves you wanted, in the ring you wanted, and in the weight you wanted, and didn't complain, and you couldn't give Floyd any credit? Floyd gave Oscar credit for fighting a great fight and making it rough at least. Oscar was crying about being the champion and Floyd not taking his title, but Floyd is P4P #1 and this fight was worth more than that title. Oscar is a little bitch and last night proved it for me. Deep down inside where it counts he's a little bitch. He came out thinking he was the bigger man and was gonna have a huge power advantage and he didn't. He thought he would have Floyd running all night and Floyd stood tall for the most part. He underestimated Floyd's chin and Floyd's desire to win. Floyd probably has more natural talent than anybody but the reason he's so good is because of his unbelievable work ethic and his intense desire to win.
BTW, ODLH fans, I could have sworn that I've heard Oscar say around a hundred times that he's prepared to throw 30 to 40 jabs a round. He didn't and when Larry asked him why he didn't throw, he said "It just wasn't the night of the jab." WHAT THE FUCK?!?! What's the difference between the fight he fought and the fight Diego Corrales fought against Floyd? Oscar worked harder than Diego while Floyd was on the ropes but that's basically it. He lost his focus, he followed Floyd around the ring not jabbing, and he fought when Floyd allowed him to fight. It's just sad that he couldn't be a man and give Floyd his credit.
