I wonder about this too. If it is his last fight,I'm sure he wants to go out as high as possible and wants to give the fans something to talk about. Also,he has been waiting for this for a long long time,I remember him mentioning Oscar a long time ago. He may want to leave an impression. Also,if he carries on fighting after this fight,if he wins this fight well,he'll be a big star.

The answer to both your questions is simple : Oscar.

No way that this fight is boring. Oscar will press Floyd & you will see a side of Floyd that none has ever seen.

Now that depends on Floyd. Does he just lay on the ropes, take a beating, & counter or does he fight his ass off & make a show of it.

I say it's the first...but either way...it'll be good.

He's still the sharpest puncher in boxing and he can hurt you with accumulation but still kind of surprising comments from Brooks.

Brooks is on CRACK!!! This is not " Chicanito" Hernandez or Philip N'dou. This is Oscar!!!!! No way in hell he'll be KOed by Mayweather. Vargas landed some solid shots and he couldn't do it. Many people think Floyd will just hit at will, they believe he is 100 times faster than Oscar...he's only about 1.5 times faster. Oscar is not necessarily a SLOW fighter and he can hit! Man can't wait for this fight!

Do you know how much faster 1.5 times in boxing really is? ALso accumalation could stop Oscar.. A lot of people thought Mayweather could only take Gatti out by cuts, but he busted him up. I doubt he can take out Oscar, but its not impossible.

These predictions are fascinating. I am picking Floyd to win, then I see a great fighter like Duran say Oscar will win and I wonder if I am wrong. Duran is the one who said Hagler would be too strong for Hearns. So who knows. Although Duran fought Hagler and Hearns so he knew more about them than he does about Floyd or Oscar.

1.5 times is a complete over reaction anyhow. He's not 1.5 times faster than probably even the slowest top profesional boxer. If a sprinter was 1.5 times faster than the competition he would run the 100 meters in under 5 seconds, differences in speed are nowhere near as wide as 1.5 times.

Floyd is probably around 1% quicker than than Oscar and only 2 or 3% quicker than Baldimor. You really think that if you could measure the speed that Baldimor could throw a combination and compare it with Floyd it would actually be 1.5 x slower?

The difference would be far far less than that. If someone had reflexes 1.5 times as quick as somebody else, every fight for them would be like that Spiderman fight in the first film in the highschool

Yeah, and spiderman would spank PBF like a redheaded step child. Floyd would be more messed up than a football bat, he'd hit him so hard his ancestors would feel it.
