Does anyone think Floyd could knock Oscar out this time?

[donnydarkoIRL]

it's at 147 this time

You really think that this fight going be at 147pnd. ? I dont think soooo...

The Forbes fight is isn't it? Oscar has been saying he's coming down to 147. I think it'll be at 147 for the WBC.

I'm pretty sure it was announced at 147, but was changed later to 150.

EXACTLY.......

3 pounds will make an even bigger difference.
Forbes isn't my favourite fighter, I haven't followed him for years or anything, but I think I'll be right in guessing he's never been 150

Me too Donny.......Forbes moved up too many , he will feel too heavy in that weight.......

I would say it's possible. Oscar will be drained. He has it tough wasting himself away to get to 154 and it's his hubris telling him he can get down to 150 and 147. Shane Mosley may or may not hit harder than Mayweather, but Mayweather is definitely more accurate and I would say faster. Mayweather also is better at breaking down an opponent. Also remember, it doesn't have to come from a chin check. You can KO someone with a bodyshot. Like Floyd did to Sharmba Mitchell and like Bernard Hopkins did to De La Hoya. At the lower weight look for that area to be a bigger target for Mayweather because he's going to test him.

This will be another situation like with Hatton where it's not a matter of IF Floyd can beat him, but how quickly can do it.

This is nowhere the same as the Hatton fight. Hattonn had no skill level to offer but his chin and body as a target. The ODLH fight was competitive and had ODLH not left his jab at home he would have won the bout. Speed equates to power and actually ODLH should be able to get his jab and famous left hook off easier. Oscar has had little success carrying his weight to 154 and most of his knockout were at lower weights. ODLH has a better chance at this weight and now has actual PBF ring speed experience as well as Mayweather senior to jump on his ass. Pacquiao coat tail riding Roach is too passive to ignite his fighters fire. As displayed in the 1st PBF vs ODLH & the two Pac vs JMM fights in the later rounds ... then factor in the publicity and footage of PBF's dirty antics vs Hatton and I like Oscars chances with the weight and the refs / judges.... All this PBF speed talk also applies to ODLH as he will also be faster at the lower weight .....

Thats for sure Macho!
He's doing ok at 140, but 150 is a completely different story.
He's doing this for the money and after the misfortunes he's had in his career I can't blame him.

I think most people are looking at this as 'does Floyd have the 1 punch K.O power of Mosely? If Mosely couldn't stop Oscar then Floyd can't' which I think is bullshit.

K.O's are not necessarily about power on it's own..Floyd may or may not have the power of Mosely but a lot of Floyds K.O's have come from fighters not seeing the punch and he has enough speed and snap in his punches for it to have an effect if somebody is not ready to take the shot. Floyd buckled Oscar's knee's in the first fight with a counter right when Oscar came rushing in so it's like Roy Jones once said 'Speed is power'.

So if Floyd catches him unaware he can get him out of there if he follows up on him imo. I'm by no means saying this will be easy or likely but it is a possibility.

Anything is possible. Hatton could take his best shot 9 times out of ten but he took a shot he never saw coming and it landed perfectly.

I went for a shit before submitting my reply, your post is pretty much what I was trying to say
