Yeah it would be an upset. I don't see it. Floyd will learn from his mistakes and won't lose. It'll be similar to the 2nd Castillo fight. Close shave the first time, clear winner the 2nd.

Anyone who thought that fight was close is retarded, not new or naive in the ways of scoring boxing fights, but retarded.
I think it would be an upset at this stage of DLH's career, can't see it happening though.
I don't see how it was possible to give him over 4 rounds personally.. the reast FLoyd clearly outpunched him... HBO was out to lunch on this fight, same with the Hatton fight.

I'd consider it an upset. I mean Floyd is ranked #1 P4P in the world while DLH isn't even in the top 10. I thought the 1st fight was close but Floyd deserved the victory. If Oscar had of stuck with the jab he could have pulled it off IMO. I think Floyd has to be the favorite going in so a DLH victory would definitely be an upset!

I'd consider it an upset, by my observation Mayweather won almost every round of the first fight. I thought the SD was way off base.
Like always I am starting to look forward to this fight even though I swore I would never pay to see them fight again...

I totally agree with Taeth it wasn't that close on my scorecard either, i had two different scorecards when i watched it, i believe it had it 8-4 or 7-4-1 in favor of Mayweather, and as for your comment Bruce you can't be serious you actually had ODLH winning there fight ??
I really don't think that it would be an upset, it would be semi-surprising. I think ODLH is getting old and he's always been somewhat overrated, but I can't deny the fact that he's always fought the best, he's an elite talent with a gold medal amateur background, and he's still a naturally much bigger man than Floyd. I don't see anything changing from the first fight though.
Because as capable as De La Hoya still is, he doesn't deserve to fight Mayweather. At least the first time he had a title and it was at a weight Mayweather had never explored. Now De La Hoya has no title, he's already lost to Floyd, he's coming down to fight him at welterweight or a 150 catch weight and he hasn't beaten anyone significant in the past six, count 'em SIX years. Mayweather, Mayorga, Hopkins, Sturm, Mosley, Campas, VARGAS.
Excellent post Liquid. IU would consider it a huge upset. Oscar is old,lost their last fight and hasn't won a big fight for a long long time. And the weight will be a factor. Pointless rematch.
