Lets get one thing straight this is not a superfight!!!
Duran - Sugar Ray was a superfight this is an intresting match up between an 35year old Semi retired hall of famer and the Speedy Gonzales of boxing !!
Floyd Mayweather has never paid his dues at Welterweight or Lightwelter and now gets the slice of the pie at Lightmiddle .
Oscar on the other hand has paid his dues but lets face it he's been in hibernation for the last 3 years his heart left boxing right after the Tito robbery and never really returned !!
He was beat by Sturm ( unofficially) and served himself up against Hopkins and never really shown any intrest in the Lightmiddleweights
So why does this fight meet the criteria of a Superfight in so many peoples eyes ?
One word .....HYPE .
The fight hinges on what De La Hoyas got left absolutley nothing else matters , Mayweather the biggest hyped fighter of the Millenium will not show great counter punching skills or a great power or a big heart and he will never dig deep he will do what he always does , box to a plan and stop the other guy working !!!
Stand off flashy combinations with no substance might be enough to impress the Johnny Come Latelys of the boxing world but it doesnt impress ME.
Mayweather the showout King who fought nothing but shit in the last 6 years is completely undeserving of this fight !!!
