He moves up too far in weight and gets caught by one punch from an enormous puncher: As I already explained, DLH is not a dynamic puncher at this weight, I don't believe he has the power to beat Mayweather with 1 or 2 shots.3. He gets in the ring with an exceptionally tall and long fighter who can swarm him, similar to what Forrest did to Mosley: DLH doesn't fit this profile either, he isn't significantly bigger than Mayweather and their reaches are equal.
I like Mayweather by a unanimous, but relatively close decision. 116-112 was my initial prediction, and I'm sticking with it. Mayweather is too fast and he will land consistently enough to win the majority of the rounds. DLH will always be in the fight, but I don't think he has the power to turn the tide of the fight with one punch.
I'd love for Mayweather to pull out on the stops & put on a boxing clinic...but Oscar's just as capable of doing such himself.
The thing is...while you say Oscar is not a dynamic puncher...he is an accumulative puncher. If he catches Floyd in a flurry of shots...there is no telling how Floyd will handle this.
Again...believe you me...I want Floyd to win...I just think that there is enough of the old Oscar left to do so.
He'll come in comfortably & prepared & he won't underestimate Floyd like he did Sturm & Floyd doesn't have the one punch power to hurt Oscar like Hopkins did.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
