Why do you think that?
Oscar De La Hoya has seen it all, he's dealt with IMO the craftiest fighter to ever lace em up, being Pernell Whitaker, and he dealt with him well, even though IMO he didn't really win the fight it was close, he's naturally bigger, stronger, probably just as technically sound, better movement off the ropes, Mayweather tends to try to duck or lean out the way like he did against Baldomir and Corely, speed Mayweather has an edge, but it's not a huge one either DLH is still plenty fast at this stage of his career, DLH still has the acuracy with the left and he's been developing the straight right quite nicely since going with Mayweather senior, he has the better stronger jab, and Mayweather's lack of power at 154 combined with Oscar's great chin leaves Mayweather with a very slim chance at earning a knockout, it's not out of the question that Mayweather could possibly win, after all he's one of the best p4p in the world, but he hasn't really had a fight this big and this tough in such a long time that IMO his chances aren't all that great
Personally, and don't flame me for this. I think Judah had all the things to beat Mayweather, just not the mentality.

But I think Floyd is going to fight a different fight.

One major factor I think will be in this fight is how Oscar holds his hands. He is open for straights and open for body shots.

I think Oscar is more open for punches now then he used to be.

Even though he looked wonderful against Mayorga.

I can't take away that whenever Mayorga threw an uppercut from left field it tagged Oscar and tagged him hard, or that the body shots landed so effectively.

It didn't matter in the end, but I think it will be a factor in this fight. Since the things Oscar is open for are the things that Mayweather can do effectively.

I didn't see a jab in the Mayorga fight and when Oscar does jab what is he open for? Mayweather's money punch the left hook or a counter jab because Oscar gives up his height when he does it.

Oscar hasnt thrown a single straight body shot in a few years, all his body shots have been hooks or in shoeshine combinations and I don't think that would work on Mayweather.

I also remember that Oscar needs to plant in order to do damage and his feet have to be set. If they aren't he can get tagged.

Mayweather is going to be moving all night and looking for a shot and Oscar is going to be laying back and trying to time him. Otherwise when Mayweather moves Oscar is going to follow.

To be effective Oscar needs to have his feet set. And against Mayweather he couldn't hope for it.

Mayweather has much more speed then Mayorga.

And don't flame me for it but Judah had more speed then Oscar too especially at 147 when Oscar is at 154 now.

So I think that Mayweather is going to take this fight on the facts that I just mentioned.

What do you think?
