Fighters, including Oscar, have made the mistake of going up to high in weight class. It eventually catches up with you.
You mean slow stiff fighters who don't move or show defense? Yeah Oscar hasn't fought any of those lately Oscar hasn't beaten one in years..

Since lost to Mosley Sturm and Hopkins. And he beat Mayorga(yes I picked Mayorga to win) he beat Mayorga but he didn't look earthshatteringly impressive as Stewart was pointing out before the KO that oscar fights in a rhythm that someone like Mayorga seemed to fall into(to his advantage) before the KO.

And Mayweather is going to off set him very much.

How do you think Oscar is going to beat Floyd? Are you placing it on the hope that "eventually" he will catch him? If Oscar beats Floyd it will be with ONE shot, because if he stuns Floyd badly with one shot then Floyd won't be there for a second shot, and if Floyd goes defensive(even to survive) Oscar will never catch him
CC Starr,excellent points. When did Oscar last deal with anyone anywhere near Floyd? A long long time ago and even in his prime,he was getting beaten to the punch by ,Mosley and Pernell. Exactly,I just don't see Oscar having the volum of punches needed to beat Floyd. Most are saying he will win but are pinning their hopes on 1 shot. Zab Judah is faster than Oscar and he barely managed to land those shots. I don't think Oscar will catch him either.

And Zhubin bro,like I said, Floyd may come in really light,so its not like the weight is going to have that much of an effect.
You can't compare Mosley and Pernell with Floyd because of 2 reasons:
1) Floyd has not fought the same type of fighters as Sweet Pea and Sugar Shane.
2) Floyd doesn't have the power to rock DLH with a punch or two. Floyd is all about speed, that's it.

And for those who compare him to Sugar Ray Robinson, technically Floyd and SRR are similar BUT SRR could end it with one or two punches. SRR is way way better than Floyd.
