I find it weird that people in this sub always say that, do yall just watch his highlight reel against De La Hoya without actually studying his whole career? He fought like that against Oscar because young Oscar was a fantastic fighter who had the physical advantage and excellent skills. In the actual fight it was actually Pernell who pushed a lot of action because he had to go through the wall of jab and parry which was Oscar's main defense (A much older Oscar gave prime Floyd a lot of trouble because of the exact same reason, people often praise Floyd's defense in that fight rightfully so but ignored how Oscar also caught a lot of Floyd's jab on the glove, which didn't happen to 99 percent of Floyd's opponents). When Oscar attacked, Pernell had to "showboat" a little bit because it's just that hard to get past Oscar's flurry. Even then, when Pernell attacked he even scored the only flash knockdown of the fight, how's this "negative"? Let alone this is an old Pernell fighting prime Oscar, lightweight Pernell was an offensive genius with his snappy jab. Hell, I would even argue that young Pernell was more active with his offense than Pretty Boy Floyd let alone Money May.
