Could ODLH have beaten PBF?

Had Oscar stuck to his jab as he did the first few rounds, then absolutely.

This is what I always thought too, and I've said before that I've wondered how much ODLH's pride cost him in two of the biggest fights at the end of his career. Maybe Taeth is right and it was PBF's right counters that put an end to ODLH's jab, but somehow I got the impression that Oscar was too self-conscious to win a fight on his jab alone. It just seemed like he thought he had to land more impressive punches to not have people be disappointed or critical.

Then as evidence that that idea is not so far fetched, he comes in light and doesn't rehydrate after weigh-in for Pac...

So, I actually think it was in his power to win the fight he actually had with PBF, unless Taeth really is right about the counters making him shy away from the jab.

Morales I am not going to continue this because, this isn't what the board is about. If you want to argue something that is fine, but we don't need to be name calling. It does nothing to further one's opinion. I'm trying not to do that anymore.

If oscar or anybody else could have beat floyd they would have, second, third, fourth fight wouldn't have made any difference. Maybe if oscar kept the same trainer for longer than a week he could have come up with something different, but i doubt better. Oscar didn't jab, block, hook, or flat out win because floyd was better than him it's that simple. All the i got tired and any other excuse is just that.

No. Floyd beats Oscar at any weight class.
