    Dubious performances against Hopkins, Mayweather and now Manny.

    Hops - questionable reacion to a bodyshot;

    Floyd - strong start, then simply stopped;

    Manny - just didn't turn up, or protect himself.


    He surely isn't THAT bad???

    That's why he's called De La Part-Timer.

    it is harsh.....DLH if anything over-trained for this fight.......he got his weight down far too soon and keeping it there took so much out of him

    Precisely.

    No fighter can avoid slipping with age, but inactivity speeds up the decline. Just staying in the gym can help a lot like Hopkins does.

    Oscar is not only a part time fighter, but he only trains when preparing for a fight.

    My guess is he will have a "farewell fight" and still look awful.
