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.
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 .....

Hi i reckon that Oscar will beat Mayweather this time around.He'll want prove that he was the victor on their first outing and he'll be determined to show that.After all he did bring the fight to Mayweather as Mayweather did'nt seem to want to throw the fist punch.Oscar will hurt him this time i think!![]()
What would be your stance if he were knockeed out by ODLH?
Yes of course its possible.
Oscar in some fights seems to have stamina problems. If he struggles to get down to weight then pushes Mayweather then he could tire just like the first fight. If Mayweather were to stop him it will be via TKO with Oscar on his feet or via an accumilation of body shots.
Personally I see this being like the first fight but an SD instead of MD. I also think Oscar will be more dangerous early due to the extra speed.
Finally I am sure the Forbes fight is now at 150. I guess Oscar will be using this to get down to 147 gradually so this could actually counter the effect of moving straight down to 147 and being drained.
As for Forbes I would come in light and make Oscar chase him to try and wear him out a bit.
Tip of the month: Protect yourselves at all times. You never know when the scheming bitch will come back for more.
