    I believe body shots are the key to beating Mayweather. He has insane head movement/shoulder rolls/reflexes and is almost impossible to hit in the head. Why does noone go for the body when they have him cornered?

    Anyway I think we will again see DLH miss a lot in the early rounds and then tire. Another half-boring Mayweather UD.

    The only way to beat PBF is by being bigger than him and being more active. The guy is rock solid, he does 500 sit ups a day and imo has a solid chin.

    He has great head movement, and is great at blocking body shots with his arms and elbows. We saw this in both the Hatton and DLH fights - once Hatton realised this wasn't working, he was flummoxed.

    If DLH had a shotgun, I'd still fancy PBF to win.

    No he can't win and anyone who buys this fight if it goes ahead is an idiot.

    I think this fight could end in tears big time for DLH. I see Floyd really taking the **** this time. I do think Dlh has it in him to beat floyd but I dont think he can sumon up yhe heart to do it.I think Dlh gave up last fight why bother again.

    Thing is, Floyd won the fight cos he hit and run against Oscar. He stood and fought Hatton because he was smaller. I think Floyd is more dangerous for Oscar when he runs.

    If he trades with Oscar he gets KTFO imo. That's why he'll never do it.

    But Oscars going to need plan ABCDEFG to beat Floyd if he runs...

    You voted for Relentless :twisted:


    I'm on the side that scored the first fight a draw. I think Floyd got a lot of credit for punches that didn't land, more so then Oscar did. Neither fighter did any damage and the fight sucked. The first fight didn't tell me anything new so I'm sticking with my prediction the first time around and hoping the rematch has a little more fire works.....which would favor Oscar. :good
