It was a showcase of great skill, ring generalship, they even showed heart. Mayweather opted to stand toe to toe with Oscar far more than anyone anticipated, and there were many exciting yet ineffective flurries thrown by Oscar. As for Mayweather having nothing to do with the success of Mayweather-De La Hoya, then why did this fight do twice as good as almost any other Oscar fight ever? Why did it break virtually every PPV record out there? Mayweather had a lot to do with its success, and now he is only more recognizable than he was in the first fight. HIs numbers against Hatton were great in States, and obviously it sold over a million buys in the UK as well. Cotto did pretty good against Judah and Mosley, but most people don't know who he is. Oscar-Floyd was mistakingly labelled a split decision, and to the untrained eye Oscar may have looked like he won. So there are a lot of uneducated people who will want to watch this again because they are under the illusion that the last fight was close. As for Cotto vs De La Hoya, Cotto has the most boring personality in boxing, I love his style, but he will never draw the large crowds until they see him fight. It would take a fight with Oscar to bring him into the spotlight, and then he would be able to draw huge crowds, but until then he definitely isn't as big of a star as MAyweather, and uneducated people will just think he's another name coming up to fight Oscar, especially after Mayweather beats Oscar again. Either way your wrong.

    Same with Iron MIke... Oscar made the fight competitive to a degree, but Mayweather clearly won the first and second half of the fight. Oscar couldn't land hardly anything effectively, and Mayweather was countering and peppering Oscar with jabs. I saw Hatton landing better punches than Oscar against Floyd, but at the very end FLoyd gave up his defense and took a huge left hook which I think made his eye swell up so bad. Regardless if people think Mayweather-Oscar II will be a snoozer they definitely have their head up their ass...
    I must say that although we haven't agreed in the last few conversations that this is entirely true...

    I thik the second fight will be more exciting then the first which I also thought was good.

    Hoya now has Sr. back in his corner and not that overrated mercinary, Freddy Roach... He's working on keeping the jabs over 30 per round and he looked to be in fantastic shape for the Forbes fight. I don't think he looked as good physiology wise for the first fight.

    I think Floyd will have more confidence this fight. He looked to be tentitive early in the fight and backed up alot not knowing what kind of power to expect from Oscar... As the fight wor on he looked better and better(probably due to Oscar gassing aswell)

    Anyhow, this fight will be better then the first and I thought the first was an interesting, intriquing bout that didn't disappoint(me anyway)

    Dela Golden to win the rematch UD. Mayweather couldn't get round the jab in the last fight. That is the key.

    IMO he won the first i think it's generally accepted now that mayweather won.It almost seems like everyone thinks he got dominated,fact of the matter he only lost because he stopped pumping the jab.

    I think the golden boy will show up in great shape looking extra golden and Jab the fuck outta Mayweather for another close decision..But this time Oscar get's it.
