Damn Wack. You just had to do it didn't you. You just had to force Violent Demise's hand. Fine. I like De La Hoya. He's done a lot for the sport of boxing. He's been a warrior his whole career. Never ducked anybody. Always tried to fight the best. I taught he lost against Quartey but had him up against Whitaker. He loves proving people wrong. He's proven he not some punk pretty boy who can be broken. That fact that he's an ese only adds to it. Despite all that. I don't see Oscar winning. I'll be shocked if he did. De La Hoya has really only lost to 2 fighters. Bernard Hopkins and Shane Mosley. Hopkins was just to big and strong. Mosley was not. He was actually the smaller man. He beat Oscar cuz he was faster. Oscar had never been the slower fighter until he faced Mosley. Mosley's hand speed allowed him to get off first and last against Oscar. And that was was won Mosley the fight. Unfortunately for Oscar, Mayweather is even faster than Shane. And his defense is better. Oscar defense has always been good but never great. For every shot Oscar lands Floyd will land 3 or 4. Than there is the perception factor. Floyd needs to win for him to back up every thing he stands for. He can't afford to lose. Oscar can lose and still be okay. Floyd losing will be devastating to him. And he knows it. And he also knows his father will run his mouth and take credit for providing Oscar the blueprint to win. No way in hell Floyd wants to give him that pleasure. Floyd on points. He's in his prime right now. Oscar is not. And Floyd can't afford to lose.
