By AJ: Floyd Mayweather (44-0 26KO’s) has many abilities in his boxing game whether it’s defense, offense, fighting backwards and so on. One thing many people do not notice is Mayweather’s ability to use speed against his opponents.
Yes, that’s right speed. Zab Judah and Oscar De La Hoya are perfect examples. In the first half of the fight you can see De la Hoya pressuring Mayweather against the ropes and attacking his body and then go up to his head. Floyd of course could deflect some but not all.
What I seen was Golden boy just punch himself out and threw unnecessary flurries at Floyd and getting himself tired, then Floyd would occasionally get off the defense and throw some combos of his own. That’s how I see Oscar losing that bout.
