"No-Win" for PBF........ "No-Lose" for DLH

This fight's shaping up exactly the way everyone knew it would. With Floyd being portrayed as the "villain", and Oscar as the "hero." It's so-o-o-o-o-o damn easy and predictable. Floyd needs little help in portraying himself as the bad guy. He's pretty widely disliked already, and seems resigned to his fate.

Oscar, on the other hand, has spent his whole career aching to be liked, respected, revered...... and has accomplished it pretty well. Like the professional orchestra conductor, Oscar has been incredibly deft at using all the instruments at his disposal in order to achieve his goal.

Now that he has achived "god-like" status with the press and his loyal fan base, Oscar uses his clout masterfully. He has chosen the right opponent (no KO threat), the right weight (right for Oscar, wrong for Floyd)........ and has gone about hyping the fight like never before.

The "White-Hat-Wearing, $1 Million-Smile-Flashing, U.S. Olympic Champion, Bilingual, Media Darling"..... against the "Arrogant, Big Mouth, P4P Champion" who everyone loves to hate.

Oscar wins.... his legacy will be complete. People will forget his losses to Tito, Mosley (twice), and Hopkins. They'll forget his received gift at his only other fight at 160, vs. Felix Sturm. He will have beaten the consensus p4p in the world, at the peak of his powers. Never mind that the guy is almost 20 pounds north of his best weight, and at 154 couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag.

Floyd wins...... he will have beaten a fighter whose best days are behind him. A brave, but old warrior. Shame on Floyd for beating up on a legend!! He will remain the villain, even more disliked than before. He will have proven nothing.

So what's wrong with all this? Everything. First of all, I don't think Floyd is nearly dislikable as say........ Zab Judah. A lot of Floyd's obnoxiousness seems fake, acted, part of the act to hype "The Fight of the "Millenium" (barf). Judah's obnoxiousness is all too real. The man needs to put forth hardly any effort to come off as a first-class jerk. It's a natural gift. Don't get me wrong..... Floyd has plenty of issues on and off the ring. But nowadays, who doesn't? (Oh sorry..... forgot about "Golden Boy"....... (barf)).

On the other hand, you can see some of the cracks in Oscar's facade about a mile away. He seems as real as a 4-dollar bill. With him it's his way, or the highway. Hey, he knows who holds the goose that lays the golden eggs. He does, plain and simple. Had Floyd wanted to have the fight at, say..... 147, Oscar would've said..... "Sayonara, my friend. I don't need you. You need me. People already love me. I have a singing career (barf). I have a legacy. I'm pretty."

So the hype for the "Fight of the History of the Galaxy" goes on, growing bigger and bigger with each passing day, until by the time the date finally rolls around....... time will stand still...... and the heavens will open and shower glory over all......... and blah blah blah, ad nauseum.

So in summary, I'm rooting for PBF by KO. Hopefully the devastating kind. A lucky punch out of nowhere that sits Golden Boy on his Golden A$$, while the referee counts to 10.

I pretty much agree with the assesment (though I don't understand the reason for it) The last paragraph/sentence is highly unlikely though I'm rooting for PBF.

Excellent post IMO, I agree with pretty much everything you said. Oscar cannot lose and Floyd cannot win (though I sometimes wonder if he could ever "win" in the eyes of boxing fans, the majority of whom love to hate PBF). There are few people in sport as utterly phony as the Golden Boy.

I was referring to his actions as a business man, I admit I do respect the man as a fighter - he's been willing to fight the best his whole career. However, he's become semi-notoriously cheap as a promoter, despite having pocked hundreds of millions of dollars. He insinuated that Golden Boy promotions was going to be different kind of company, more boxer friendly, make the great match-ups fans, etc... Warring with other promoters which I guess doesn't make him phony, but it pisses me off because it prevents good fights from being made. I have no problems with most of his actions as a business man per se, just how it relates to the way he portrays himself in the media.

And he needs to make that fighter summit happen. Hopefully soon, though I understand why that's been put on hold.

Anyways, everything you said is pretty much moot. Except that Floyd gains a ton. Publicity and nothing is more valuable to a boxer then publicity.

CC 15 for the REEEEEEEEEEAL TALK

This is, with our a doubt, Oscar's most brilliant move yet. He chose the wight, ho chose the ring size, he chose the gloves. He has every advantage possible and if he wins, no one will complain because he WAS fighting the P4P champ.

If Floyd does win under these circumstances, he certainly deserves his props. I hope most people notice what a tough challenge this will be for him. I think DLH has one great fight left in him and I think this is it. But if PBF wins then I will give him enormous respect.

Time will tell.
A lot of fight fans despised what Oscar did to an old JCC. But look where he is now.
In the short term Floyd might not get the credit he deserves for beating Oscar, but when that next even GREATER villain comes around, it's Floyd's turn to play hero!

AMEN to that.

No matter what Floyd does...it'll never be enough in the eyes of the ones who "hate" him.He already has the respect of most of the old legends ie:Ali,Tyson,RJJ,Sugar Ray,Hearns,Pernell,etc...so I'm sure that he could care less.
