Most of you will say that Floyd is the best p4p fighter in the world.

Most of you recognise that Oscar is stll good enough to give him a really tough fight and in fact wouldnt consider it a big upset even if Floyd lost.

So why the hell do so many people moan about him taking the fight
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.
