I don't know what you are basing that on at all. I'm not seeing the logic there bro. Oscar got the fight the first time and all these concessions:

Fight was at 154

He got the ring he wanted

The gloves

and still the best he did was 116-112 loss by anyone that can score.

Now Floyd is bigger in terms of PPV and won the first fight,he does not have to make concessions. So the fight could be at 147 v a weight drained Oscar.

Who could give Floyd a tough fight(I'm not saying I'd want to see these fights but...)Spinks,Forrest,Margarito,Williams,Cotto. All,imo would do better than Oscar the first time. I have zero interest in this fight.

WHat makes this ironic is Oscar never was a pressure fighter,hasn't used his straight right hand to good effect in years and couldn't use the jab. So how can he win?>? I said these same things before the first fight and they apply equally here.No-one could refute these points and I'm pretty sure,no-one can now.
What I am getting at is Oscar is better than almost anyone with a name FLoyd can fight, including Cotto. Oscar would eat Margarito alive. He would be Vernon too IMO. What does Cotto really have that Oscar doesn't, He goes to the body more and he doesn't fail down the stretch, but he is too much slower that Floyd would pick him apart eventually.

Also 116-112 is the most the Oscar-Mayweather could be? Are you kidding me? Maybe you should rewatch the fight... Mayweather landed about 80 more punches that Oscar and not all in one round. He beat Oscar in almost every round, and almost anyone who knows how to score a fight could see that.
um nope. In the last rounds of the right I'd agree but not early on.
