ODLH didn't look anymore "rusty," against Ricardo Mayorga (who he thoroughly trashed when they fought)than he did against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The only difference was that Oscar was up against a good fighter the first time, but up against an elite fighter the second time.
Hope this helps
I totally disagree. Oscar was a lot more hesistant against Mayorga both because of his power, and energy in the ring. Against Mayweather he found an easier time defending because 1. Mayweather doesn't throw combinations 2. Mayweather doesn't use a whole lot of angles, and in fact he pretty much only throws three punches unless he is coutering and two of them (cross, and jab are straight punches), and the other is a left hook which he comes in from far away to throw ala Roy JOnes Jr., and Roy wasn't able to land the leaping left hook very well against James Toney until he started throwing combinations behind it.
