What a fight ;D...What a fight ;D 8)
Shit. Not like I was going or anything but damn 4 months in advance and it's sold out. CC 451 for the news. Still think you're going to be disappointed in just how good of a fight it actually is.
Oscars a warrior and will make Floyd fight at his very best imo.
Also i think Oscar has the skills to bring something new (to floyd) to the table that PBF hasn't dealt with yet plus the fact it's at light middle is a massive factor 8)
If Mayweather wins then he goes into the elite and im talking Leonard etc.
Will be something special if Floyd pulls this off
8)
I agree but it will be because Floyd will have finally pulled off a victory in a legit super fight. And those are what define great fighters imo. Still, I'm pretty comfortable in taking Floyd by decision.Quote:

That's gonna be very interesting ;)
If Floyd wins then people will say Oscar wasn't the same fighter, that anyone can look good against Mayorga, that his injuries have finally caught up to him, that Floyd caught him at the right time, etc etc etc.
But one of the main reasons this fight is sold out is because of Oscar. I just hope Floyd doesn't think it's the other way around.
Floyd doesn't just run away though. That's not how he's one all of his fights to date. He can brawl. He may not have bang but he's a lot faster then Oscar. And Oscar's power is overrated imo. He is a lefty who boxes with the left hand leading, a lot of that power is in the left hook and he leads with it a lot. Floyd makes that first punch miss better then anyone.Quote:

One thing, Floyd is going to land his straight right at will on Oscar. Oscar doesn't have defense against anything straight.
I think Floyd will aim to just do enough then get his skates on like the Baldomir fight :)
If Floyd did that then Oscar wouldn't look any better.Quote:

Have they decided if it will be a small or big ring? Obviously Floyd is faster....BUT....he has been stunned by lesser fighters. The big question will be if he gets caught (and if it's a small ring, there is a good chance he will) by a punch from a bigger, stronger puncher...how will he hold up. Oscar is technically very good, has very good power, still quite fast, and a great chin. Plus, he is great at finishing off a fighter who he has in trouble. I see it going one of two ways: 1) Floyd dances and outpoints Oscar or 2) Floyd is stupid enough to try and exchange...where he will stand a good chance of getting hurt. Oscar has to rely on more than the great left hook...since Floyd has great defense against that. But if this thing takes place in a small ring and they have already decided on the punchers glove...Floyd better make sure he dance all night. I just do not see Floyd exchanging. And that's why Floyd is in a lose, lose situation. If he dances his way to victory...people will get on him. If he tries to go toe to toe with Oscar...he will get hurt.
Only 5400 on public release too.
Who's who of Hollywood stars will be there and i bet Mr Gordon Ramsay will too ;)
Huge fight fan that man,see him everywhere on the UK fight scene 8)
Either that or OScar gonna look old in front of a lot of people. I hope is like what you are saying I do like OscarQuote:

gonna go with oscar for this one. i just think hes too big and will be smart enough to figure out floyds style. i think he will shock a lot of people in may with one last great performance
They're the type of fan you should ignore Majesty, fact is, if Floyd wins, he's the better fighter, if Oscar wins, then the same goes for that.Quote:
