but mayweathers moving up in weight he has never been to before and he will feel oscars power it may not be thomas hearns kinda power but its good respectful power and it will be interesting how mayweather copes when he gets hit with one of oscars power punchesOriginally Posted by the phenom
The guys with good defense that Oscar fought had incredibly good chins. Camacho, Whittaker....other guys he fought weren't strictly defense....he dominated and dropped Castillejo....he whupped Oba Carr....those guys weren't disasterous on defense.
Thats not really fair DLH has caught a lot of top fighters with it. But Oscar is quite possibly the most skilled fighter Floyd has faced! Ruelas, Hernandez & Leija were rocked hard!Originally Posted by skyler

Run like he always does? Have you only seen one Mayweather fight in your life or something?
Who has he ran from? Maybe in the Baldomir fight.
But probably in the half dozen or so previous fights before that bout he was doing a lot of in-the-pocket fighting.
Just because a guy isn't getting hit, doesn't mean he's running.
If you expect Floyd to just stand toe to toe completely without guard, why would he do that? You're criticizing someone for not getting hit.
I believe Floyd will win this fight pretty convincingly. I won't be surprised if the fight looks a lot like Mayweather - Corrales. (Except not THAT one sided.)
One way Oscar might take it is if he keeps his guard up real high. Seeing that big exposed body, Floyd will most definitely be inclined to throw a few jabs to the body. One thing a lot of people never point out is that Floyd drops his right hand slightly whenever he throws a jab to the body.
That'll be Oscar's best opportunity to land a left hook if he could catch Floyd lunging in.
Saddo its a no lose situation for him ?Originally Posted by Saddo
Whats the worse that could happen ? He gets knocked out and everybody says of he was out of his weightclass ,Oscar was too big , Floyd to small or some other shit that his motormouth will spurt out
just like when Oscar rolled over against Hopkins .
On the face of it Oscars past his best it just stinks.
He is not a fighter he is a wingeing little titty boy who fights b-list fighters and even then minces about like he's got Elton Johns Limo waiting for him out back .
The Gladiator costume was the last straw in my eyes.
Sorry to disaggree with you Saddo i know you look up to me and see me as a Mr Miagee type figure but sometimes Daddys have to say no .
I still have love for you .
The amusing thing about this match up is that even though Floyd is waaaaaaaaaay outta his league in weight & Oscar is waaaaaaaaaaay outta his league as far as being matched against a slick boxer like Floyd...people are still going to act like mooks & bitch & piss & moan.
To bash one fighter is to detract from the other.
It's a great match up...even though it's one I don't really agree with or want to see that badly (that's why I bought a ticket to the show)...that does a hell of a lot for the sport.
HBO is pushing this fwocker down EVERYONE'S throat during the month of April & that will generate more PPV viewers & probably break records...I know that the gate already has.
If Floyd comes in with his A game & Oscar does the same...it'll be a fantastic match.
We shall see.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
cc bro, it's the biggest fight that could have been made!!!Originally Posted by wacko3205
I to hope both guys come with their best because it will be such a plus for the sport!
