Looking back at his last couple of fights prior to Floyd, he was still on top of his game. Knocking out Mayorga with ease was credible IMO. Mayorga took bombs from everyone he fought before and after Oscar but no one made it look as easy as he did. I thought his campaign at 160 had nothing to do with his skills diminishing, but rather him fighting at a weight he should not be competing in. Hopkins was way too big and Sturm should've won the fight considering how out of shape Oscar was in to make weight.

Prior to that, his second fight with Mosley was a great one (I thought Oscar won), he KOed Campas, then arguably his best victory against Vargas came before that. I only really took the fact that he was getting older to be his disadvantage against Floyd.

In conclusion, I thought Oscar vs Floyd was a real fight. I thought his fight with Forbes was the first fight where you saw him on the slide. Forbes isn't much of a puncher but he marked up Oscar's face not landing anything all that impressive.
Yea good post

Gotta agree with what ya put here.

I was one that belived the fight was a draw as I scored it on the night, Oscar had the first half and Floyd took over 2nd half. At the time the fight was signed, I was firmly under the impression Oscar would win due to his size and speed. As In alot of previous fights Oscar faded in the Championship rounds, which gave Floyd chance to get back into the fight, and subsequently take the decision.

In regards to Oscar being his greatest victory, the is a case ya could make for it, Oscar one day will no doubt be a HOF. Will many other of Floyds opponents achieve that status ? who knows, but for me Oscar certainly will. Main reason I went with Hatton, well, part bias with nationality, and him being a fighter I followed since the start of his career. Added he was unbeaten at the time, and held titles at 2 weight divisions lead to my decision.
