I'm not saying he will, but I think this is a fight for him to lose. There's too many people around Oscar (i.e. business associates, etc.), for him not to be able to get some good insight on dealing with Floyd. The first order of business methinks would be to find a way to get Floyd to fight Oscar's fight and not the other way around. Should Oscar prepare in a manner to take 3 to land 1? I see a Chavez/Meldrick Taylor kind of thing going down with this fight for some reason. Thoughts?
I do believe he lost the first time as well. Ko 12
Yeah, I was just about to comment on that. It's a gross error in boxing history to not realize the outcome of the Taylor-Chavez fight. Ring magazine has called that first fight the fight of the decade a time or two.
To summarize Taylor was whooping Chavez, way ahead on the cards, but slowly the tides turned. He was told he needed to fight and win the last round by his corner- which was a gross error- and got knocked down with mere seconds left in the fight. Two seconds to victory, after being knocked down, Referee Richard Steele in one of the most controversial calls in boxing history, waved the fight off- saying Meldrick was too hurt to continue. Two seconds and he would have won...but instead he lost.
The subsequent damage he suffered ruined him as a fighter. He was pissing pure blood, had a fractured cheek bone..and some brain damage became apparent. He could never speak again properly.
When he faced Chavez again, years later, he was long gone from the gold medal winner he had been the first time around. He was stopped in 8.
For the record Meldrick Taylor only lost to Chavez in the REMATCH.
As for Oscar/Floyd, I feel that this would be a hard fight to call. When you look at each fighter, there are pro's and con's for both. With Oscar, you have the possible rust that has held up in the past, but may be apparent against a fighter like PBF. Floyd's got alot on his hands too, considering the move up in weight, and a fight against a guy who would whoop anybody on Floyds resume.

I agree he beats everyone 140 and down. I think only Mosley could give him a hard time as long as Shane does what he does and doesn't try and outbox Floyd. Oscar will keep pressure on Floyd but Floyd won't let him bang the body, and has 1,000 times better defense than Mayorga, and has a lot of skills unlike Mayorga.
Shane>Oscar
Floyd>Oscar
I rather see Floyd vs Shane at 147 then the fight on May 5th.
Everyone is hyping Oscar up a bit too much IMO.
Nobody cares what you think. Floyd is faster, better handspeed, better pure boxer. Nobody in boxing today will outbox Floyd Mayweather. Only way Oscar wins is if Floyd breaks both hands, and can't move well at 154.
Oscar beat up bum ass Mayorga. That doesn't prove much.
Mayorga > Baldomir
Mayweather is in over his head. Hes a good fighter but he has gon up to far, he beats everybody from 140 and down. But at 147 Mosley would eat him up, and De La hoya is too much at 154. He is going to lose to Oscar and Shane, then maybe he'll bounce back with some wins and school Manny Pacquiao.
of course he can. he is better. fraud is a retarded oscar clone.

thats how Floys has fought EVERYBODY, he loves planting his feet, especially when he lays against the ropes, and make his opponent miss. Plus he is fighting at 154 for the first time. I will bet you anypoints and username whatever, Floyd is going to lose this fight.
I understand the factors that weigh against him; It's just that I don't think Oscars' speed would be an issue for Mayweather in terms of dodging. Oscar is fast p4p, but not faster than the lighter-weight guys that Floyd dominated.
Oh yes, because the p4p best boxer in the world will completely leave that out of consideration, going into the biggest fight of his life. Yeah, he'll just figt him like he's Baldomir.:ugh:

Oscar is as quick as Floyd, I know that's not what you said. If that was that case Oscar wouldn't of lost the fights he has. He isn't even close to hand or foot speed.
are you nuts? Floyd get tired. You must not do your homework. He is the most well trained fighter in boxing, as far as wind and legs. Do your homework. Oscar better put some tough leather on Floyd's chin and it better be hard leather because Pretty Boy has a chin.
Oscar will beat Floyd, it is obvious to me. Ive known based on their styles that Oscar would win way back when they first started talking about this fight when Floyd Sr. started traing Oscar.
Floys stands still and slips punches one at a time. Oscar is goin to flurry and maybe the first 2 will be blocked but 3 4 and 5 are getting in all night. Oscar hits harder and is bigger and is just as fast. Floyds peek a boo defense leans right into the left hook , one of the left hooks is going to slip past his glove and land on the tip of his chin and he is going to be stopped. Quote me!!!

If Oscar signs Pacquaio (through Roach) and Floyd then he will have won. But this will not be fixed. Oscar has a puncher's chance even though he is not a puncher in that sense.
Don't say "for some reason"
The reason why you see it as a Chavez/Meldrick is because it's a black vs. a Mexican.
Jeggin. :nonono:
Ridiculous. I cited it because I can see Floyd getting worn down late.
Oscar is destined to lose. He's in the cover of EA Sports fight night.
:D LOL! at that..
but i think that oscar might pull it off or another fixed match where in if he losses after the fight he signs PBF into a contract therefore becoming his new promoter..
How the fuck you know that?
Easy Sheriff. It's called the EA curse.
