Oscar has more than a good chance to beat PBF
is this assuming the Oscar of 9 years ago will show up?
first of all the De La Hoya that fought Sturm was an overweight, unfit De La Hoya, and with all that he made the fight competitive, i don't think he won the fight but it was no shut out, i had it scored for Sturm by one round, but you could make an arguement for it to be a draw, also the first round it looked like Oscar was about to score a knockout at the very end of the round but came the bell, and then went his stamina, Just re-watched the De La Hoya/Gatti fight last night and De La Hoya's win over Gatti is actually a lot more impressive than that of Mayweather's, reasons why, cause De La Hoya stood toe to toe against a pre-Ward Gatti and battered him, Mayweather pot shoted a post-Ward trilogy Gatti and the only knockdown he scored was a flash knockdown while Gatti was distracted by the ref, i firmly believe that if the focused Oscar that showed up to FIGHT Hopkins comes to fight Mayweather the pretty boy isn't going to look so pretty by the end of the night, if Castillo (although he is a big puncher), who doesn't hit anywhere close to as hard De La Hoya hits, hurt and had Mayweather guarding his sides imagine what'll happen come May 5th, Mayweather doesn't have the power to stop him, and De La Hoya has the speed, size, skills to beat him, May 5th is the end of the pretty boy, the return of the Golden Boy, and IMO would be an amazing finish to an already brilliant career, a 10 time world champion, the third 5 division champion (Leonard, Hearns, De La Hoya), and the first and only 6 division world champion, that's a legend, maybe Mayweather should study that
