Can Mayweather deal with the Oscar left hook?

Is anybody else actually going to the fight?? ...Live in or been to vegas before?? Recommend any good hotels?? I'm trying to, got a plane and hotel arrangements at the MGM actually setup... Just waiting on tickets to come out. I called MGM's PR and they said to wait around the third week of January or so, who knows...

The hook is the easiest shot to block, just keep the riight up all night.

Oscar's punching power hasn't been anything special for this entire decade. He dropped an already battered (& damaged by Trinidad already) Vargas with a hook, & then takes out a human punching bag (another Tito-battered foe) in Mayorga. Aside from those two fights, where's this power some of you are talking about ? Floyd Mayweather nullifies his foes' punching power, no matter who they are. By being so hard to hit, & so effective on the counters.....he forces the foe to think too much, therefore reducing their offense. Oscar will not be landing any big left hooks. If you're banking on the the one-punch turnaraound, you're wasting your time. If you want to talk about someone not having power, we should be talking about Mayweather. Floyd has never faced anyone with Oscar skill and technical ability, and if he thinks he is just gonna go in there and cruz to an easy decision he is gonna have a rude awakening along with his fans.

If Mosley can handle the DLH left hook I think Mayweather certainly can. Destroy the body than the head. With Mosley Oscar approached that fight wrong. He beleived he was the bigger guy and tried to just slug it out with him instead of moving and boxing. Also Mosey had the speed but also had power that Mayweather does not have. Oscar won't make the same mistake against Floyd. Oscar is smart and between him and Mayweather Sr. I'm sure they will come up with a a controlled gameplan and will fight a smart fight. I think having Mayweather Sr. will be more of a factor than people think.

How much of an agressor will Oscar be? This is a question that interests me, and if he is the agressor how long do his legs allow him to do so?

I think the key to this fight will be Oscar's jab. Excellent point!!! Oscar stil has one of the best and stiffest jabs in boxing and if he gets it going and sticks with it, Mayweather will definately be in trouble. If floyd tries to stand outside and jab with Oscar he will lose that battle. Mayweather doesn't even really use a jab much and if he chooses to stand and jab with Oscar he will be in trouble.

The only way DLH will land it clean, is if Floyd starts letting his hands go recklessly and he gets countered with it. I don't see Floyd doing that in the biggest fight of his life.

I guess the question is whether DLH can catch Mayweather with the hook and I'm sure Mayweather will be as careful as he can not to get caught.

If it lands its over, simple as! Mite not take him out but it will hurt him and Oscar will pour it on! That said its a big IF! Im leaning more towards a De la Hoya win now but not sure, Floyds real slick!

No...He couldnt deal with it!! but the better question is....When Floyd loses will he blame it on his right hand?? I Think.........YES

Oscar won't land it clean so it won't matter. Can Oscar break Floyd's defense and handle his faster footwork and faster handspeed?

If he can, he wins. If he can't, he loses. Do you agree? If Oscar hits him flush like they way he connected on Quartey , Vargas and Mayorga then I do believe Floyd will be kissing the canvas. The question is...can he hit him clean and flush on the beard ?

I think SHL left hook is strong but not like what you think because of the KOed he did to Mayorga the guy with stanless steel chin had hyped it up. Mayorga was shot alot and the more you beat up a guy the more he becomes weaker he should have gave those free shots for Tito and Forrest

If he tries to gamble and throw a lot of punches he doesnt have a chance. He will be slipped and countered all day. He should make Floyd come to him, and use his jab. Oscar should pick his openings. I know it may sound stupid, but he needs to outbox Mayweather. He doesnt have the speed anymore to throw those crazy flurries.

question is, will the golden girl be able to catch floyd ? the golden girl had trouble with Sugar Shane, twice.

in one word.....nope

delahoya can punch with power hands now
