Floyd being faster than Mosley if he can carry the weight to 154...but having less power to stun Oscar than Mosley had.

It's be a great fight...but I really really think that Oscar would spend his time following Floyd & eating straight rights all night long.

I don't think PBF wins at 154....I think that weight is far too much for PBF to handle....I think his speed would disappear....and his power would go.....But if it's at 147 I think PBF has a chance....but ODLH has a better one...

The Tito-Mayorga parallel is potentially problematic for Oscar, but I believe DeLaHoya is a more complete fighter than Tito (who was badly exposed by B-Hop) and will still give Floyd a very tough fight! The thing that really impressed me in Oscar-Mayorga was DLH's ability to hurt Mayorga earlier and more often than Tito, while absorbing Mayorga's power shots better than Tito...I think Oscar has alot more left in the tank now than Tito did when he beat Mayorga, then got so surprisingly dominated by Winky!!

I have Oscar a slight favorite at 154, tossup at 150 and Floyd a slight favorite at 147!!
