    What do you think? I believe Mayweather will still win, but will the lower weight make for a more competitive fight, or less than, in your opinion? Is Oscar coming to win. Does he believe he can get victory, or is it strictly for the money.

    This fight doesn't appeal to me whatsoever, but that might change the closer we get. What's your take?

    a slimmer DLH might have slightly increased handspeed, mayweather wins again though.........................I cant seem to find any real weakness of PBF in the ring

    I thought Hoya knicked the first fight and if he was going to win it would have been then. I don't see Oscar hitting the same intensity in training or in the ring this time around - but I hope I'm wrong.

    Agreed. The only difference might be that DLH uses his jab this time around. He was clearly effective with it last time.......When he used it.

    Oscar would struggle to make weight. He might be faster than he was in the first fight, but in spurts. Having to make 147 could have an adverse effect on his stamina and it would be likely that he fades down the stretch.

    The only difference in this fight is less money

    Finally ........someone with sense~~~:good

    sheesh..people act like DLH's arm went numb and thats why he couldnt use it......

    I personally believe that Mayweather Sr in DLH's corner is a very bad move.....no matter how much Sr & Jr beef....its still son & father and no amount of drama can come between that...Look for Sr to give Oscar all the wrong advice:good

    if DLH uses his jab more he can make the fight closer. he stopped using it in the first fight when he was having some success. he stopped using it in the last few rounds and thats where the fight was lost

    Toss up. ODH will be working like a madman to improve his game this time, and I am sure he has studied the first fight, in depth, and he'll make improvements where needed.

    See it as a pick em fight. I don't see Floyd as the favorite this time.

    DeLaHoya would be better off if the fight was at 154 like the last one was.
    I find it hard to beleve that a 35 year old who has been fighting at 154 and 160 can be affective at 147.
