He dosent seem to be in good athletic position this way, and the way FLoyd fights Delahoya seems to be more open for Mayweathers Straight right, Maybe he is just fighting this way cause its Mayorga but he looks real stiff in there... Also Oscar handspeed dosent look so pronounced of course you lose that with age, but just observations...
Honestly...I don't really even factor this fight in anymore.

Go back & watch Hopkins vs Oscar.

Oscar was looking good in the first six rounds. Oscar was the smaller man & he went toe to toe with Hopkins & was firing from all angles & showed good form. I think that a debdicated Oscar will give Floyd the fight of his life.

I've followed both of them for the duration of their pro careers & I honestly can't see how anyone thinks that this fight is either going to be a tactical bore or that Floyd will run from Oscar.

The fight has great written all over it.

I agree but, there are some things to be considered in terms of style matchups... I think this fight has memorable written all over it, Oscar is a Modern day great balls to the wall duck no one bring em all on win, lose or draw I leave my mark on the sport kinda guy...Floyd is a technically polished defensive wizard with a phenomenal ring intelligence, operating at a high level and in his prime.... THIS FIGHT WILL BE A GREAT ONE
right back babe.

While I agree that it will be a memorable one...I just can't settle in on how it's gonna go.

I'll be on the edge of my seat in anticipation the entire night though. Can't wait to sit ringside for this one in the Garden. Talk about balls to the walls...that place is going to be hyped & hectic. I plain on filling up as many memory cards on the Canon as possible.

I'm still curious as to how well Floyd is going to handle the weight. .Floyd’s only like 5 feet 8 and he’s a small 5’8” at that. He doesn’t, IWO, have a lot of room to grow & fill. Oscar’s almost 6’ with a totally different frame & can handle all the weight hopping.

It’s gonna catch up to Floyd eventually.
