Of course we want this fight, PBF-DLH. Of course we do!
Say, have you heard ... Floyd Sr who taught Floyd Jr actually implanted a fatal weakness into his style, something of which PBF is totally unaware, and so is everyone else in the world except for Floyd Sr?
And Floyd Sr trains DLH? and so in this fight when they meet, Floyd Sr will explain the secret flaw of PBF to DLH, and that will enable DLH to beat him?
Yes, oh, yes, I have it on very good authority. Very intriguing, no?
You guys watch WAAAYY to much Kung-Fu flicks. And if you don't.... you'll love 'em!
And I suppose Floyd Sr. is going to teach Oscar the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique."
Because he never taught any of his students that one. :karate:
Some say he had the secret technique written on an ancient scroll and was stolen, long ago, by his arch nemisis "Uncle" Roger.
I haven't watched Kung Fu theater in years. What ever happened to that?
I can't believe that a sore Judah fan {not you}, would come up with such bullshat!
Anyway, :coolclick: for making me laugh, and sending me down memory lane.

Ah ... the plot thickens.

You can mock me all you want but you've never spoken with Floyd Sr which makes anything you say irrelevant because I have that advantage ;)

It is just too good to let lie, that's all.
But truly, I mock you not.
Well, not much. :laugh:
Re: Who should PBF fight next
I think a repeat of Judah vs Mayweather would be his toughest fight. However I don't think we'd see a repeat. I believe Zab was as successful as he was in rounds 1-4 because Mayweather was still figuring him out. Once he made his adjustments it was just a question of whether or not it would go 12.
Mayweather would be in trouble with Hatton if Hatton had Zab's handspeed and legs. He doesn't though. I don't think this fight would be easy, but I think Floyd is quick enough compared to Hatton to be able to stick and move all night. Stick and move until Hatton paints the canvas red. Nothing against Hatton, I think he's awesome and would love to see him succeed... but I see this as a poor style match up.
I also see the Margarito fight going as the Corrales fight did, except without the knockdowns maybe.
Castillo could make for an interesting fight... but again I really think Floyd can avoid the pressure or deal with it effectively.
Gatti... not even worth talking about. I love Gatti, but that is the worst style match up possible.
I think ODLH of today has the skill to make Mayweather not look as good as he usually does. But I think this would be a boring chess match in which Mayweather is the UD victor. ODLH of old is another story, and that would have been something!
Honestly, aside from Mayweather's skills I am not a fan. But I don't see him losing until age taints his natural gifts, he moves up too far in weight and is over his head with a much bigger man, or he somehow loses his focus and doesn't show up to fight night 100% ready. I think his skills and work ethic are just that good.
But the fight I want to see most is Hatton. Not now though, I want this to get huge and I want it to do huge things for boxing. As for the immediate future, I'd like to see him rematch Zab so that any questions can be answered. I think in a rematch Floyd would crush him. And to those who side with Zab, they will say, "look at what happened to Spinks in the rematch". Fair enough... lets have a rematch to settle the score.
In the mean time, let Hatton introduce himself to North America. Lets see him fight Margarito or Cotto. Or... lets see Hatton vs ODLH. That will get him exposure (massive exposure), and if he can't get past ODLH, Hatton vs PBF would have been a waste of time!
My thoughts...
Re: Who should PBF fight next
I know that Hatton is not a realistic choice right now but that's the fight I wanna see.
I'm happy to see that just about nobody wants to see ODLH-PBF because it's just a waste of time. ODLH is not what he was, he's too busy either promoting shows or jumping up and down weights.
Realistically, the best choice is Margarito since there's a set date on 7/29 and Margarito's waiting for an opponent. But people need to be exposed more to Margarito before he fights PBF because it won't make money and we all know that Floyd don't fight if it don't make money.

I think Floyd Mayweather will have to fight Mark Suarez . the mandatory challenger for IBF Welterweight champion or be stripped of his title .
