I've heard people saying that the only way Floyd can impress in this fight is if he gets a stoppage. Then - on the same hand - in a poll of "CAN (not will) Floyd stop Oscar", next to everyone voted "no" :think
I think Oscar stands the best shot at beating Floyd, seriously. Even an old about to retire Oscar is still the best boxer Floyd has ever faced.
Mayweather doesn't stop Baldomir, Judah or DELAHOYA but he's gonna stop Delahoya this time Based off what? One counter right that buckled Oscars knees for a split second? You guys are too funny. :yep
he will he already told me every time LIL floyd does the shell he's op[en to the left hook off the jab but OScar aint that quik anymore so he more then likely won't be able to pull the trigger
Both are in decline. The inactivity and extracarricular activities of PBF since getting two huge big money fights are going to be a factor. The thing is Oscar is way past it and can no longer bring it. Oscar couldnt do it in his prime aginst SweetPea (bull**** decision) and Mosely, common sense should tell you why would he able to do it it now with less, against a similar opponent. The powers that be only need a an excuse to **** PBF over, look at the first fight split decision and closer on the cards than it was in reality. I always expected some controversy and well I am not overlooking the fact that if DLH can give them a reason they will rob Mayweather, it is a very strong possibility. Barring a lucky KO by Hoya he cant truly outpoint Mayweather and the only way he wins is via robbery or **** decision, but be very prepared for some controversey I get that feeling. If he should win regardless of what he says to his wife about not fighting a Puerto Rican you have to know the charecter of this **** and how he operates that he would love nothing better than to beat the idol of everyone on the Island he now lives on and to shock and reap all the accolades in beating the young stud of the boxing it would vindicate his sorry ass for failing all those other time this is what this guy secretly is hoping for do not listen to a word he says. This is what he is trying to accomplish then retire.
So which score is it? You are obviously a bias Floyd fan, no ****in' way was that fight lopsided, your boy eeked a razor thin decision that he and his ***** ass fans should be ashamed of against a part time inactive past his prime fighter. Pathetic!! No wonder he was on Oscar's ass for a rematch!:-(
I wonder what would happen if Floyd Sr. threw in the towel if Oscar was taking a beating. What if it was a good close fight when it happens? Conspiracy theories right there! "He fixed the fight to help his son, the blood came before the money!"
For the money. Like, say a fighter destroys an older champion in 4 rounds with cuts. Then two years later, when the older champion is shot and is no threat, and there are plenty of good fights to be made, the younger fighter gives the old man a rematch and claims "it's personal, he didn't give me my respect the first time!". Sound familiar?
What's hard to understand? It's the only way he can be impressive in this one sans a one sided domination decision. What does another 8-4, 8-4, 5-7 decision do for his lineage?
Even if Mayweather dominates DLH, it only does a little bit for his legacy. Winning a competitive fight with Cotto, an 8-4 type decision, does more for his legacy than winning 11-1 against DLH. Fighting DLH is just good for his bank account. I'm not saying I blame him for rematching him, most guys would take the big money rematch, but it is what it is.
Sho Nuff. But if you're gonna rematch a fight you won easily the first time, He needs be damn convincing the 2nd go around.
Not a blowout...just a very clear win which showed who was better. Thinking is was close is just as incorrect as thinking it was a blowout.
