As for the fight,Floyd will win. If he's going to run like that from Baldy,imagine what he will be like against Oscar!!! Floyd will win,I'm 98%certain. To the peeps saying Oscar will win,I ask you,HOW?! Just because he's bigger and stronger,what about his inevitable ring rust,his stamina,Floyd's speed etc etc.

I don't see stamina issues for ODLH at all, he has 6 months to train and he's only 33. Oscar's timing and combo arsenal are brilliant.
I believe PBF will take this, but it's gonna be close. I don't know how much ring rust will play into this as he is completely comfortable in the spot light and can spar with pretty much anyone he wants. Plus he had the power to knock down Vargas in his prime, could floyd do that?

IMO this fight comes down to the size of the ring. If PBF has room to hit and run he will do that all night long with a couple of moments each round of getting pinned by the ropes for a few seconds before he gets out. If its a smaller ring (say 18ft) then Floyd will have to trade more often every round, which wont be the best moments for Floyd. I just hope Oscar puts him on his a$$ a few times and make Floyd earn the win like he hasnt in years.

nah mate beating DLH would be a far better achivement than beating anyone else... he wont win.

but if he did it wouldn't matter what anyone said he could retire and be happy with his legacy IMO

but again he wont win

im wondering saddo mayweather said one last fight so if mayweather lost would he try and get rematch with oscar or will he just retire ??

i dont think it will be his last fight mate i think it was just bait for DLH... tha same way DLH said he wasnt intrested... just mind games from them to get the fight sorted.

Floyd said that win or lose, the only fight he would come back for would be a rematch. Again, not sure I believe that, but the point is that even he's saying he'd fight again for a rematch.

PBF was actually pretty hilarious about this in an interview today. He was like, "You know I hear my daddy talking about how he tought me everything I know about boxing but not everything he knows. Well, I'm glad he didn't teach me everything he knows because then I'd be 28-6 and losing to a bunch of bums like he did."

This will be a chess match... There will be no homerun tries for Mayweather... His game will be negated by an extremely durable, fast and smart boxer. The best he has ever fought. He's not fighting Chico, Sharmba, Gatti, Baldi... C'mon. Floyd's chin has also never truly been tested... For all we know it could be stone, but we don't... ODLH punches are short, sharp, and crisp. Floyd will be Knocked down this fight(like he was in the Judah fight)... Mayweather is fighting a bigger man......with speed and by far the best technical skills he has ever fought against. Judah could have beaten Floyd if he wasn't such a headcase who would let a gust of wind knock him out of his gameplan. Late TKO for the Golden Boy

....with his lineage I highly doubt his chin is "stone"

I bet ODH tries to draw him into some exchanges....I think Oscar really needs to win this to keep going, and I think Floyd will have to lose to keep fighting too

He's kind of like RJJ when it comes to the chin question... People say he lost his chin... Nope... He just never got hit. Same with floyd. Only age and a well placed hand will tell... And CC lineage speaks volumes
