But the fight had some good exchanges, and plus there was some drama at the end because it was a close fight and no one knew who really was going to win at that point.
    Looking back on Floyd's old fights, all we see for the most part are one sided beat down's with the exception of a few bouts. I hate to see anyone, totally dominate another man for any amount of rounds and get the victory.
    PBF vs ODLH was competitive and that has to count for something. I do however, hope that Floyd fights at least one or two top Welters before hanging them up. The way things are looking, I would have to say that Floyd is going to most likely follow the path of ODLH and fight only when he want's to maybe once or twice a year and only for big bucks. It now seems like Oscar is sort of moving on and now wants to take on a couple of TV fights, which should leave PBF holding the baton and taking those one or two big money fights per year. Floyd still has a lot to give and take from this sport. Some one who loves money as much as him, wont go away before completely cashing in.

    Andre Berto would give Mayweather a harder fight right now than Oscar.

    Berto is way too green to get in the ring with Mayweather. He's got a lot of potential, but he's still pretty far from polished from what I've seen.

    Keep in mind, that Delahoya might have been Mayweather's toughest fight since he fought Jose Luis Castillo the first time. So I don't see why there's so many people freaking out about the rematch.

    Just out of curiosity, who do you think would win if it were Berto instead of Mayweather fighting Delahoya later this year? I'd pick Oscar by wide UD, with a couple knockdowns in the fight for good measure.

    I think ODh would stop Berto, depending on how Oscar handled making 147. He's just too big, strong, and experienced, and Berto's defense is still way too leaky.

    I doubt Berto's handlers would try and enforce his mandatory. There not that stupid.
