CC. Great post. But are you being serious about this line? If anybody has lapses in the ring it's Oscar De La Hoya. I've never seen a fight where Floyd has looked like he didn't know what to do or how to react. ODLH has the lapses where it seems like he's confused or doesn't know what to do. They can be seen in the Mosley fights, the Quartey fight (which Lederman had Quartey winning 114-113), and the Whitaker fight. The one thing Mayweather has common with these fighters is defense and being smaller. ODLH has no problem being the counterpuncher but I think that he's got a problem putting effective pressure on smaller fighters. And I think it's due to his stamina problems.

I agree with your assessment though on the two scenarios. I'd also like to add that if Oscar doesn't have a problem taking right hand leads and fighting through Mayweather's counters then he has a good shot at winning to be honest. But if he can't deal with taking right hand leads over the jab and the right hand starts discouraging him, then he's gonna have a long night.
Ya know I guess youre right though I have seen floyd look worried and bewildered on a few occasions though he adjusts so fast it isn't for long. You're right about Oscar I must say CC to ya
