Does anyone think Floyd could knock Oscar out this time?

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.
