Shot or not, or on the slide, skill wise he had the goods to win that fight... If he had let his hands go more, and kept his jab going until the end of the fight, he would have won... I don't find that to be Floyd's best win because DLH either could not possibly fight at what he was capable of previously (otherwise he would have won) OR, he couldn't fight the end of the fight at the same standard he started it at (otherwise he would have won)...

Floyd fought a DLH who was running at 60%....

That much I am sure of....
I think you are right, he did tire out or always conscious of tiring slowed down. Roach also found out that he was not the same fighter he once was in the training camp and allowed Pac to fight him for that reason.
