I'm with a lot of you guys. Based on what happened to Tito against Winky and B-hop, and Oscar to an extent, I think that FLoyd outboxes Tito easily. The reason why Tito was able to defeat so many slick fighters is b/c they never stuck to their game plan. At some point they decided they want to slug it out. Floyd is a very very patient, smart, and deliberate fighter. He isnt going to allow Tito to draw him into a slug match. This is a fight that I think Floyd could definitely pot shot his way to a victory. What would make it worse is that Tito is such a head hunter, he would be swinging for the fences all day with probably little hope of connecting. This is coming from a Tito fan. But i'm realistic and understand that tito can be outboxed. Had DLH not tired, he woudl have won that fight.
Tito is a stand up fighter ... he's coming forward w/ no smoke and mirrors ... no special effects. Tito's going to be following Floyd around the ring and walking into shots ... Tito had skill, power, and speed ... but when it came to fighting a boxer ... he never stepped up to the plate.
Put your money where your mouth is ... if you're such a fan of Oscar and is so confident is his ability ... why not put up some money on it? :huh
You just quoted my post. Did you quote it without reading it? I NEVER BET REAL MONEY ON COMBAT SPORTS! :deal Oscar could be fighting a washed up Erik Morales, and I'm still not betting on the fight. I'll do avatar, permanent ban, temp ban, signature, location bets....etc etc But not real money atsch
Almost? after 8 rounds of back and forth. Floyd won from 9-12 EASY. In a tiny ass ring might I add. So Floyd fought the big man's fight and still won. Landing more and more accurate. So almost won? I don't think so. That Judge who actually voted for Oscar is prolly paid off.
I think it would have been a great fight, 60%-40% in Floyd's favor. Someone ran a short video loop last night boasting about how great Floyd's right hand counters were against Oscar, and they were some very nice shots by Floyd....But.......When I reviewed the loop a few times, I also noticed that DLH landed two good body shots, 1 jab @ the belt line and then a nice left hook by the ribs. Floyd took them in stride but he certainly got hit, and this is from an old DLH shown in a pro Floyd highlight loop. To think Tito would not be able to land something of significance over 12 rounds is unrealistic. That being said, Floyd's superior skills and intellect would probably net him a UD after 12 with some pretty tough moments along the way.
If this rematch takes place in a bigger ring. Oscar will lose his ass badly. GETTING sooooo embrassed that people will make all kinds of excuses for him of being too old and such. But in reality. Oscar never have the skill set that he wished he have to do what it takes to beat Floyd.
Floyd bout out his contract to become a bigger star ... he alway had problems with how Arum was promoting him ... it goes back to the Castillo fight when Mayweather thought that he should have his name in bigger lights.
At welterweight Floyd does not throw the combo's or have the power/size to keep tito of of him for 12 rounds
