This fight is good for boxing & has many MANY people talking casual fans, die hards, & even non boxing fans are giving it the going over...that's a rarity.

As far as Oscar being gone or Mayorga making him look good...I disagree on both in a sense. Mayorga, IWO, is a chump & stuck his neck out like a fool...but Oscar looked good against Mosley in the 2nd fight...I was there & to this day still say that Oscar won the fight.

Against Sturm? He lost...& that's the way I will always feel. He came in plump & hadn't a grip on 160 or who he was facing.

Against Hopkins? Again...another fighter that I love...Oscar didn't do that bad. He went toe to toe with Hopkins for about 5-6 rounds...it didn't last. Oscar was out of his weight class & element against Hopkins. No shame there.

Boxing needs this fight as much as the fans do. Simple as that...no...it aint over hyped...it's necessary.

The question that I want answered before the fight is...can Floyd handle the weight.

The thing with me & this fight is that these are two of my favorites in my top 5 list & I keep on saying that no matter who wins...I win...but that's horse S***.

I'll be honest here...arrogant or not...hated or not...I want Floyd to win this one.

Believe you me, I love & respect Oscar...always have & always will...but I want Floyd to go down as what he is...an all time great.

If he totally breezes through Oscar...sure everyone will say that Oscar was too old & so on & so on...but true fans know & will recognize the accomplishment that he makes if he beats Oscar.

i dont post here that often because of school n what not but i love you in a completely heterosexual way...hmmm,anyway...i think oscar is/was a cracking fighter...but i feel his power if in his left hook(which a few have said) which floyd is practically immune to, people have said he could (or oscars jab may deside teh fight) but i think floyd can counter anything odlh has due to pure speed and accuracy
Welcome to the forum. Have the Obligatory Wacko Welcome Wagon

Think nothing of the hetero or non hetero love. Wacko's down with spreading the love around the forum too. Cheers!

Truthfully...at the end of the night...I don't see how this fight could be a bad fight. No matter what Floyd shows up & no matter what Oscar shows up...it'll either be a technical brawl or a thinking mans war.

There will be rounds that Floyd is back pedalling & punching while Oscar tries to press...but honestly...I just think that it'll be a good one no matter what.

The fact is that Floyd aint gonna knock Oscar out & it'll go 12 rounds...but I really don't believe that people believe Oscar is going to get the better of Floyd like he did Mayorga. Making a comparison & analysis of the upcoming match based on the Mayorga fight is about as wack as making a comparison on:

Yep...what he said!
oh its completely hetero ...people are saying it may depend on floyd bottling it from over confidence, but i cant imagine the gym rat doing that...hes gonna want to put on a performance...and i see people saying oscar has to get him on the ropes or dominate the jab, but floyd is practically unparraled on the ropes and i think hes quick anough to counter oscars jabs, i dont want to sound like a nuthugger but i dont see how oscar will win it, i hope he makes it competitive, i really do, but in the end of the day i want mayweather to win, not retire and fight top level compitition so he can put his skill level up there with the best on record
