It will be Oscar's fault if he can't do anything about what Mayweather is doing, whether its being very defensive or whatever

Very interesting way of looking at it,most including myself at times,usually blame the more defensive orientated boxer but in a way,you are indeed correct. Good posting.Originally Posted by Starr
Gotta reply to this again Sal. I totally see where you're coming from, and to a certain extent I agree(check other posts), but, actually, this could be good for boxing, as long as Oscar's ego doesn't get in the way. assuming Floyd wins (my pick by UD), Floyd could drop down to 147, and fight Mosely, and then the winner of that, could fight the Williams-Margarito--Cotto-Judah winner mini tourney. That would be what every boxing fan (maybe not the public), wants to see. Alot of people have played this out in their heads I'm sure. Now, if Oscar wins, where do we go? That might not be good. Because, I don't see him fighting Mosely again, or dropping down to fight anyone. Does he go for Taylor? Can't see him winning that fight. Or does he retire? If Oscar wins, good for him, and his legacy. But, not good for boxing, IMO.
And new, superwelterweight champion of the worrrrlllddd! Prettttyyyy Boy, Floyd Mayyyyyyyweatherrrrr!
People will be happy as long as they have something nasty to say about Mayweather. If he appears to lillylivered and yellowbellied the people will jeer him and cheer Oscar.
The only way Oscar can look bad is if he gets KO'd or beat to pieces by an agressive Mayweather.
i see all your valid points bro and i agree with u for the most part but i dont see this being as boring as odlh vs bhop oh my HBO even promised us that was gonna be haggler hearns for the new millenium

what? its a legitimate question relating to this here thread son. soooo ANSWER IT!Originally Posted by Hulk
Boxing seems to bounce back from allot worse. I totally disagree with your assessment. Have you gone into hiding after the Cro-Cop disastrous KO?Originally Posted by SalTheButcher
I don't think this fight will disappoint anyone,cuase wheter you're rooting for Oscar or Floyd you'll be at the edge of your seat waiting for Floyd to counter or for Oscar to land that big hook that you guys so desperately want,either way I know boxing fans will get a better fight than the last highly aclaimed mega fight "fight of the millenium" Tito vs DLH.
Good point. Welcome aboard.Originally Posted by Daim

Thanks for apreciating my point of view bro.Originally Posted by The Shadow
I don't think this fight will go so far as to hurt boxing, by any means. But I'm almost certain it will "disappoint so many", as Sal says. There's almost no way it won't. First, the hype has built to almost biblical proportions, and will only get worse. No way the fight lives up to it.
Besides, the script may as well be written. It will be a chess match the whole way. Floyd does not have the power to KO Oscar (unless he goes for the liver, like Hopkins..... heh, heh), and Oscar does not have the skill or movement to catch and KO Floyd. Also, Oscar will be extra careful not to get caught with a lucky punch, while Floyd will do his usual posing and clowning, especially if he feels he's winning a decision.
The thing has "letdown" written all over it.
