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...
The reason ODLH stopped using the jab, is because he was getting countered over the top of it. He had been stunned a few times in the fight, and also because his known stamina problems come into play.

I think its silly to say he didn't try his hardest, to win the fight. Because your taking the credit away from Floyd Mayweather Jr, and your also suggesting foul play somewhat.

The fight wasn't that close anyway, the closest i've had it is 7-4-1 for Floyd Mayweather Jr. I've also had it 8-4 for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Also lastly when is the last time ODLH got a second wind in a fight ? probably not since the Fernando Vargas fight.
