Howe-e-e-e-e-e-e-ev-v-v-v-ver.........
Gotta hand it to ol' Oscar. The man ain't anything if not wise and savvy. He chooses an opponent who is unlikely to knock him out... he sets the weight at 154 (making it MORE unlikely that Floyd could pull of a KO)... and manages to plan a fight with a "win-win" scenario.

Lose, and you've lost to the consensus p4p champion in current times. No shame in that. Most people expect Oscar to lose. Win, and you've cemented your CAREFULLY groomed legacy as one of the greatest of all time. Oh Oscar, Oscar, Oscar... you sly dog, you.

After this, Oscar rides off into the sunset... pretty face intact, with a multi-million contract to do color commentary with HBO and the added bonus of having Merchant drop to his knees and service his manhood at the slightest nod from Oscar's golden head.

HA!!
