I predict Floyd winning a somewhat close decision in less than exciting fashion.I have no preference on who I want to win this fight.I like both fighters.
What do you think will happen and what do you want to happen?
I want DLH to win and I think he will by TKO in the middle/later rounds.
Heart says De La Hoya, head says Floyd.
For me, it's nothing to do with Oscar's chin, it's more to do with Floyd's youth (yeah, it's only a couple of years difference, I know) and Floyd's speed, stamina and all-over cleverness in the ring.
I'd murder for DLH to win, but I just can't see it.
Fuck, I hope I'm wrong.

You people that think Floyd is gonna win an easy decision over Oscar are fucking ridiculous. You'll are all gonna be upset come May, when your boy is in with someone who has the skills and technical ability that he has never faced. Floyd is gonna get put down in this fight and we will see how he responds. No way Floyd comes close to hurting Oscar. I want to see if he'll stand and fight or get on his bike and run around the ring. I am not ignorant enough to think that Floyd can't win but you people that think this is gonna be a walk in the park for Floyd and Oscar doesn't have a chance ar just plain ignorant.
Oscar has a chance, a slim one, but a chance none the less. And you forget to mention that Floyd is the best fighter that Oscar has faced and late in his career at that, I don't see how he wins. he struggled with a out of his prime Whitaker and now you think he is going to knock Floyd out. When has floyd been knocked out, when has he come close. Thinking and hoping is 2 different things and you should be hoping that he even touches Floyd with a clean shot.
one hand or not, when you're that much better and that much faster than ur opponent, you should still be able to stop him. you dont need power to stop some1, accumulation would've been enough for the ref or the corner to stop the fight.
Floyd will never stop Oscar.
his hand being hurt was legit though, floyd has hurt his hand on 3 different occasions and it has really cost him, he should have retired in 2002 due to to the hand injury but he did'nt, speaking of his hand, this will be a big factor in the de la hoya fight and also floyd moving up quickly is worrying me last year he was a light welterweight and now hes fighting at light middleweight, oscar has the height advantage + he is strong, but Floyd will win this fight, just remember Whitaker and Sturm (Forget Vargas and Mayorga as Tito ruined them)
Remember Whittaker and Strum that is ridiculous!!! If you remember it was a tough fight for Oscar against Whittaker and a close fight that Oscar won and the Strum fight I will give you he shouldn't have been given that decision but he was also out of shape and didn't take Strum seriously, had he been in shape he would have easily beaten Strum but thats beside the point now. Oscar will be more focused and prepared than he has ever been in his life. I'm sick of people saying that Vargas and Mayorga were ruined by Trinidad. That is ridiculous!!!! Do you honestly think Mayorga would have had a chance against Oscar had he not fought Trinidad. If you do you don't know much about boxing. Mayorga is nowhere near Oscars league nor doees he have the skill to hang with him bottom line. Vargas is a tougher opponent but Oscars skill and boxing ability would have come through either way. The results would have been the same had they fought Trinidad. Trinidad just fought them first. Had Oscar fought them first, would everyone say that they were ruined by Oscar when Trinidad beat the to. I highly doubt it, people just love to hate on Oscar. Thats fine you doubters will see in may when Floyd has his hands full against an opponent in Oscar of the likes he has never seen. I think Floyd is gonna be surprised when he realizes he is finally in with a world class fighter with real skill and technical ability to use along with the size and strenght. Everyone wants to say that Baldy and Gatti were bigger and look what Floyd did. The difference is Gatti and Baldy together don't even come close to the skill and technical ability Oscar does to execute.
the 4 rounds oscar will win is the first 4
and thats it floyd will win the next 8 with
ease

Did'nt you have Floyd Mayweather under the "My Boys" in your sig?
yes i did. but im just fuckin' sick of him and im sick of defending him. his flop with baldomir and his pussy ass excuses about not knocking him out and his "hand being hurt" and his constant outbursts on journalists and comentators are just childish. (brian kenny deserved it though)
i want DLH to win and he will win.
floyd needs to get humbled. some1 needs to teach him humility. i think oscar will counter the hell out of floyd.
oscar's just too big and hes used to 154.
i agree pbf has a skill advantage but it isnt as great as what he had against baldy or gatti. So I think the size advantag of oscar will be much more of a factor and is kindof an equalizer between the two. But the fact that odlh is traind by pbfs dad will push him ahead and he will win the fight
De La hoya will put up 1 hell of a fight, he will press dodge stress and exhaust PBF before the night is over, but Floyd will be to fast skilled and defensive to let Oscar do any REAL damage! I see Floyd winning a Close SD!
