Anyone think De La Hoya Can Beat Mayweather?

I told you I voted for Relentless by default because you made an avatar bet on Hatton to beat Floyd and I never know when to take Jack seriously. All 3 of ya'll are cool to me though homie. :yep

 

This is exactly true!!!!!

 

Same story different day. Mayweather Decisions DLH.

 

have to agree

Oscar doesn't have enough skill or the style to get through Mayweathers defence in a meaningful way. PBF doesn't have the power to mix it with Oscar (Oscars a LOT bigger than Hatton). I expect a replay of the last fight at best. Floyd by UD.

I think the onus is on PBF to perform rather than Oscar. If he can't compeltely dominate at least some of the rounds and make a spectacle then his legacy will be damaged.

 

The rematch will only be worse for Oscar. PBF is the smartest boxer in the sport he will adjust to some of the mistakes he made the first time around. This time he will take Oscar's jab away much earlier in the fight. I expect Oscar to win no more than 2 or 3 rounds at best.

 

No he won't. If he make adjustments Floyd will make adjustments too. At the end of the day DLH wins more money but will lose the fight.

 

Man, that's not why.

And go ahead and slap yourself for thinking you know **** when you don't.

"Mayweather is smarter, he'll adjust but I don't have any ****in idea how.........duhhhhhhhhhhhh." By Pimp C

The fight is going to be different because the ring will be larger than it was last time. This will allow Mayweather more room to operate and use Oscar's age against him.

Oscar may even decide for himself to box Mayweather more which result an extremely boring chess match in which both fighters are reluctant to engage, and Mayweather's youth, better legs, and speed will win him the fight.

Will Mayweather be more willing to shoot his right hand or in your words........"duhhhh, somehow take away DLH's jab........duhhhhh," I don't know.

Maybe Mayweather had grown a pair since he beat Hatton and since he'll have more room to operate.

Then again, he'll probably be cautious of Oscar's left hook which will always be dangerous.

So yeah, it will most likely be an incredibly boring event unless of course they made a deal that Oscar wins so there will be a third fight.

 

I think the biggest problem is Oscar forgot how to properly pace himself in a fight...that comes from extreme rust since he has only been fighting once a year for the past 3 or 4 years. Most elite fighters can "rest a round" to regain that second wind while not allowing their opponent to capitalize on their inactivity....the very top of the elite can even steal those rounds which is like double-dipping. Against FM, I don't see Oscar having a problem getting a rest round in......since FM seems to only go in one direction when facing DLH (backwards).....All DLH has to do is cautiously walk, and I mean walk FM down and keep his gloves up....get his breath back...and perhaps this fight will be alot more interesting then the first one was. In the first fight, I truly beleive that if Oscar just stood in his corner when the bell rang for a round...that nothing would have happened for 30 secs of the round...FM would of just stood there with a confused look on his face not advancing.

 

you mean how the younger oscar who was fighting full-time fatigued versus trinidad, gonzalez, sturm, and both mosley fights?

some of stamina is natural and some of it is thru training and ring relaxation. oscar does not relax too well in the ring a la mayweather/toney/90s foreman. mayweather makes guys miss a lot, and missing shots can make you even more tired.

plus he's just older now.

 

The only way Oscar is winning is if he catch's Floyd with a massive punch, he wont and will lose a UD.

Don't try and make out like you're some ****ing boxing genuis when you're clearly not. Your irrational pick of Hatton over PBF and your hype job of Margo proved that. PBF is the smartest boxer in business period. Once again you ignore everything I said about him taking away Oscar's jab.:-( He figures people out for a few rounds and then he goes to work like a surgeon:deal This fight will be no exception except this time it will happen alot sooner and the margin of victory will be wider.

 

I have to agree with the pimpinator here.:tired The only thing that kept that fight close was Oscars jab. If Floyd can neutralize that...I don't see anything else in Oscars arsenal that can give Floyd problems.

 

:good Where you been hiding man?

 

I see a win for ODL, Mayweather taking a dive in the 9th round. Then they become business partners and do it all over again next year on the Cinco de Mayo weekend. If it makes money it makes sense, baby!
