He knocked down an iron jawed Mayorga in the first round with a RIGHT HAND...making me think that Mayweather will be Ko'd in the middle rounds. DLH is too big for Mayweather, the same way Hopkins was for DLH

It was a left hook, and did you see Mayweather fights in the past 4-5 years? He destroyed Gatti, and though alot of people can beat Gatti none like that. Gatti couldn't even hit him. Same with Baldomir. He adapted to beat the toughest Judah we've ever seen who one of the physically most gifted people to ever box. We saw him beat Corley in close. Mayweather has looked amazing for almost every fight excluding the one he really hurt his hand against Hernandez, and his first fight with Castillo.

I've seen all those fights and you're way over hyping his spectacularity in them. The man I saw beat Gatti worse than that was named OSCAR DE LA HOYA....when Gatti was in his prime. Judah is a good fighter, but he is very small and tired out after easily winning the first part of that fight. And my bad, the right hand set up the big left hook, but Oscar's right is no pushover, he is no longer one handed.

Sparring Mosley is a good workout but Mayweather is a different fighter altogether and Oscar fought Mosley twice, he knows how to fight Mayweather, but can he do what he needs to do. I think Mayweather is less physical than Mosley but a sharper puncher. So Oscar will not be worn out as much as hurt by different punches.. Can Oscar win? Yeah but this is not Mayorga.. Mayorga was made for Oscar. When was the last time Oscar beat someone who was good and fast? The only factor which I think is in Oscar's favor is the weight, yet how much is the weight factor? Floyd looks ok at 147 and Oscar cannot fight at 160.. So Floyds optimal weight to me is 141 or 142 and Oscars is 152.. So if they fight at 154 it is Oscar's advantage but still can Oscar land his punches and not get countered. Can he use his advantage which is at least 5 pounds advantage? Not alot when you consider all the other intangibles like speed and activity and peaks. To me it looks like Floyd wins a decision or maybe tries to get to that soft spot on the body which Bernard found.

The weight is not a deciding factor...just look at what Baldo walked in the ring weighing.Experience wise...I think its pretty even.Floyd was born into the sport.Floyd UD
