Floyd had the wrong approach to the De La Hoya fight.

[Dizaster]

ODLH should have won that fight if he wasn't gun shy... As timid as Floyd's performance was, I think DLH was equally timid by what he has been capable of...

Honestly as someone who has the hand in the pie of every one of Floyd's fights after that one, for Floyd to keep is ZERO means a LOT more money in ODLH's pocket...
Just saying, DLH had as many incentives to not win that fight as he had to win it.... I think DLH could have, and was capable of doing more in that fight to win it....

Like his jab for one.. It was winning him the fight... Or at the very least, it was winning him rounds... Which would have, won him the fight... So what does he do as soon as he realises that he's is looking like getting ahead in points,,,, he stops using it.. Almost altogether... Anything that was working for the first 6 rounds, he stopped using after that.... It could be said perhaps Floyd was doing something a little different to make DLH's jab less effective, but DLH to me, was going easy on Floyd,,, at least when it was coming down to the business end of winning later rounds and taking the fight for himself...
