I dont know man. I think you guys are caught up remembering the Oscar of old like die-hard Tyson fans used to be like. Not that Delahoya is that old, but I really think he is leaps and bounds away from the Golden Boy we all remember. Sure he beat the living hell out of Mayorga, but come on. Mayorga blocks punches with his face just like Gatti does. It took Oscar twice as long to do the exact same thing. I think Oscar Delahoya is in for an ass-kicking on May 5. He won't get knocked out, but Floyd is gonna put hands on him big time. I'm thinking it resembles the first Sugar Shane fight (where for the first time, he actually looked beat up afterward), but I think this time, Oscar's gonna really look ready to retire...he will smile what Larry Mercant loves to call his 'million watt smile' (which now is down to probably about a 350,000 watt smile), shake his head and walk off into the sunset...possibly returning to whup ass on a lesser opponent to go out with a win or maybe even go out with another belt. Dont get me wrong, he has a chance that he might be able to catch Mayweather with the big punch; he has a chance that the judges will give him a decision on his star power (which has happened in the past...they may give a gift to the largely Hispanic audience; giving their hero the 'W' on Cinco de Mayo), but I'm thinking both those chances are really miniscule. Im also thinking that since 2003, Delahoya has gone 2-2 (if u didnt give him his fight against Felix Sturm, which a lotta people didn't he is 1-3). Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather Jr, as we all know, has yet to taste defeat. Mayweather will undoubtedly be prepared to go 12 rounds of nonstop, stick-and-move flurries and footwork. Oscar has a history of slowing down in the later rounds. Regardless of what he says, when he is on the losing end of exchanges against faster opponents (a la Mosley), he usually gets on his bicycle late in the fight. The only edge Oscar has in this fight are punching power and the ring size, which he was crafty enough to negotiate like pretty much all the other parameters of this fight. I think he's gonna try hard and he's gonna be game the whole night but the whole night he's gonna be one tiny little fraction of a step behind. He will chase Mayweather but will never quite get there. Instead he's gonna get smacked in the face. Make no mistake about it; Floyd can out move, out slick and out box Oscar Delahoya at this point in their careers. On the 5th, I believe he will prove it to the world.Originally Posted by CutMeMicK
