Also, being flat footed has nothing to do with why Oscar looks bad... look at Floyd's highlight moments of defensive displays... the one thing they all have in common is that he goes flat footed before he starts making his opponents look like free winging green amateurs.
Now what has Mayweather done for DLH?... he's improved his right hand.. thats it... and it was at the cost of lessening his left hook

If crushing Vargas with left hooks(because it's second nature being hes naturally left handed and his left hook is fing beast) is "changing his style" than you got me. I don't think he looked like"crap" in that fight, wasn't that a career defining win? One could argue he looked like crap running from Tito in the final round. Also, Oscar would not have dominated with a different corner man sorry. I will agree that he went through obvious growing pains converting to his new style. He didn't look "bad" sheilding himself against the ropes. Of course the MayW style takes years to develope, thats why I wrote earliar that Sr. didn't get to train Oscar since birth. Are you telling me that when your in a philly shield you plant your feet in the pocket to roll off shots, NO FING SHIT CRACKY RICKSON BYE ARMBAR. I call Oscar flat footed because hes never on his toes anymore even at long and mid range(I 'd like to hear you argue against that one). Just because Sr. got Oscar after his better years doesn't make him a bad trainer. Just because I'm a yellow belt doesn't make me an idiot Cracky, read my other posts.
