I'm thinking that maybe we are looking at it from the future rather than what we really thought at the time. I could be wrong though

Floyd beating Oscar was a good victory and the fight was close. We found out that was Oscar past his best and if it was the version that fought Vargas, Oscar would have won.

Odd that he stopped using his jab midway. I've watched the fight several times and cant really see Floyd taking it away. Its like he just stopped using it when he was controlling much of the fight with it.

I'm pretty sure Oscar had a rematch clause but Floyd retired and then when the clause ran out after 1 year he unretired. People can make up their own minds but thats an asterisk in/on the record. All the greats have them though.

I think Oscar simply tired and faded but the Vargas version would have carried on.
