But to say this is an easy fight for Oscar is a bit careless imo. No more has Oscar fought someone with the physical advantages of Floyd as it is the other way around. The only person De La Hoya who comes close to Mayweather in speed, is Mosley. And Oscar had tons of trouble with the speed of Mosley. Now he also had trouble with the power of Mosley. And he's never faced someone as evasive as Floyd. No one even close in that regard. On top of that, Floyd could be one of the smartest guys Oscar has ever faced. He doesn't make mistakes. Period. He's not going to give Oscar anything.

And honestly, I think Floyd just coming forward would be just what Floyd wants. In fact that would be a dream scenario because Floyd is the more mobile fighter and that would give him the oppurtunity to attack from different angles and really get in and out with ease. That would be 12 rounds of frustration if Oscar fought like that. And I think he knows that too.
Oscar fought the most elusive fighter I've ever seen in a ring, Pernell Whitaker, so don't say he's never faced someone as "elusive" as Floyd. Mosley has the speed of Floyd, only the muscle to back it up. This is a dream match up for Oscar, though I don't think it will be a walk. Floyd has never fought at THIS WEIGHT, and will learn the lesson Oscar learned by moving up to take on Bernard. Oscar will be so physically superior it will be obvious from the beginning, and Floyds speed hasn't been as blinding over the past few fights, so how well will he carry it going up another 7 pounds. DLH will have the KO win between the 7th to 9th rds. Then he'll probably get his last shot at Mosley, or a final megafight with Winky.
