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

[ICB]

Judging the fight round by round and not the fight as a whole, it wasn't really close imo either. There are things guys don't do after every floyd fight, i think it has little to do with what they do or don't do as much as it is floyd not letting them. Good as the guy is i still think people get in the ring with mayweather thinking he isn't as fast as they've heard, hit as hard as those say he does, isn't as smart and hard to hit as they say etc.....he frustrates guys much as anything else. Mayweather is content on just winning decisions, just the way he is. If you don't make him fight he won't. And that makes the fights look closer maybe who knows. I think out boxing him is the only way to beat him. There isn't this one thing guys aren't doing, it's outboxing him as a whole that is the problem. I don't see anyone out there right now that can do that. Just being stronger, faster, having a jab or any of these one or two things just won't cut it.

I think its a very overrated close fight, ODLH only won rounds when Floyd Mayweather Jr, took rounds off and he stayed on the ropes too much.

And ODLH appeared to outland Floyd Mayweather Jr. When he threw eye catching flurries, but really most of those punches missed or they wern't effective punches.

And Floyd Mayweather Jr was landing very accurate and solid punches, and as i said he even stunned ODLH. a few times which is why ODLH became more hesistant, something Floyd Mayweather Jr doesn't get enough credit for.

But in reality ODLH didn't do any real better, than Victoriano Sosa did against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I had it very similar to the night he fought trinidad just with less action

well up in the fight through 7rounds and then just ran out of steam for the home stretch
