Not only is this fight the biggest megafight in the new millenium so far in terms of $$$...HBO execs are projecting a $35 million purse ($22.5 for Oscar, $12.5 for Floyd)...

But in terms of legacy for either man, De La Hoya has the best chance of anyone at 147-154 of beating Mayweather and vice versa, Floyd has better chance against Oscar than Hatton, Margarito or any of the other lesser names!!

I know it was the limited Mayorga that Oscar beat down, but it was the WAY he broke him down that showed me, when he is highly motivated, De La Hoya is not that far from what he was at the top of his game (and probably hitting harder than EVER) so a matchup with Mayweather is a very winnable fight for Oscar right now...

Now if we can just get Floyd Sr to ease up...
