I’m not looking him saying he was drinking as an excuse I’m looking at it like Oscar could’ve been way better in that fight if he trained harder, came in prepared & clean from drugs & alcohol. He was washed up when he fought Floyd. Oscar could’ve been the greatest fighter ever but he fucked up. He was fast af, skillful & had everything except the will to be great. He’s a Legend for sure but in the end he lost the respect from everyone.
