I know there have been plenty of threads about this, but here's i break it down.
Factor One: THE SPEED
Mayweather has dazzling hand speed and foot movement, and has overwhelmed his recent opponents his speed. However Dlh is no normal opponent. He dominated Mayorga with an incredible display of his own hand speed. Overall Mayweather has the better speed, but the advantage will not be as huge as many people think.
ADVANTAGE MAYWEATHER!
Factor Two: THE DEFENSE.
Mayweather has always been in the upper tier of pound for pound defense. He has never really been hit, and his " Shoulder Lean" is spectalular. Call it a pussy way to box if you want, but Mayweathers hit and run is dynamic, and noone besides Castillio ( first fight) has broken down his defense.
On the other hand, Oscar once again is no defensive bum. He keeps his hands high, and tends to block alot of punches with the gloves. This time Mayweather clearly has the edge.
ADVANTAGE MAYWEATHER!
Factor Three: THE POWER
Mayweather has never been known as a huge hitter in these upper weight classes, but every time he fights an opponent, they also say they are suprised by his power. His straight right hand can do some good damage.
Oscar hits like a mule, and his devasting left hand is a one hit knockout punch. He landed a perfect one in round one of his mayorga fight convincing me he still has his power. The is a clear Oscar fight, oscar is the bigger and stronger man.
ADVANTAGE OSCAR
Factor Four: THE JAB
Mayweather has a beautiful jab that is one of the main reasons he can execute his hit and run so well. He shoots it with great speed and accuracy.
Oscar also has a beautiful jab. The thing that makes Oscars jab so good, is that he places it right in the middle of his opponents eye. I think overall this is draw. But Oscar has to use his jab if he is going to win this fight.
A DRAW
The Final Prediction:
Oscar will be the aggresor, and he will land some nice jabs, but mayweather simply will not stick around for that left hook. Oscar has to batter his body to slow him down, he HAS to make this a phsical battle. I do not think he will slow down Mayweather enough untill in a very exciting 12 round he finally lands that left hook that sends Mayweather to the canvas. However Mayweather gets up, and survives the round.
LADIES AND GENTELMAN, WE NOW GO TO THE SCORECARDS:
The first Judge scores it a DLH win by a point., the next two score it for Mayweather by a point. And Mayweather prevals.
If Oscar was a real meany then he'd make floyd wear reyes gloves so he'd fuck his hand up and have him not throw as much. Oscar's already trying to get a small ring so why not gloves that could fuck up Floyd's hands.
But that might mean PBF run all fight like he did against Baldy but it could give oscar the chance to out-work floyd.
not only that floyd uses the big gloves defensively
foot speed and hand speed should be different categories. Id say that oscar is a little slower in handspeed, but the fight breaker will be foot speed and Oscar is hopelessly outmatched in that area.

oscar could stay on the outside.. and come in and throw power combos, on the way in he'll eat one or 2 straight shots... but if he takes one to land one i favor oscar, if he takes two to land 1 i favor oscar if he takes three to land one i favor mayweather, but oscar has to land clean
If DLH can use his jab like he did against Vargas then he has a chance. He needs to be sharp and quick so Mayweather cant come over top with his brilliant right hands. That is the key to this fight. Oscar needs to have perfect timing with his jab. If he sets Floyd up with his jab then he can let go of that monster left hook. Jab and move, jab and move. If he stays still Floyd will murder him.
Your'e prediction is reasonable. I believe that a good microcosm for this fight would be DLH vs. Mosley I. DLH might win some of the first rounds because he is a rangier fighter that may have PBF on the defense for the first few rounds. This would give him the edge in ring generalship and score points. After 5-6 rounds in the bank I think Oscar will be ahead. It will then be up to PBF to switch it up and get into the fight. I don't know if this will happen. I got a feeling Oscar is going to get the win here.
When Mosley fought Oscar the first time he was losing at the halfway mark but was able to shift gears and impose himself. PBF may very well possess the ability too but the problem is going to be the weight. I think he will be in over his head at this weight.
My prediction: Oscar by decision or maybe TKO in rds 8-12(starts to dial in the left hook). I think Oscar is going to be on Cloud nine for this one!!
my point exactly

He never said it would be easy, he felt that mayweather would win on poinits.
DHL has taken a beating, and that is too mayweather avdantage. Mawyeather has less mileage than Oscar, and we'll see if that comes into play. I highly doubt this will be a Ko in the 8th or the 9th. Remeber that Mayweather does not have a glass chin. He CAN take a punch, and this is something the fans forget. I think his biggest weakness is if he gets trapped on the rope, and smacked to the body. Anyways I think if there is a KO stoppage, it will happen in the 11th or 12th, when Oscar understands he has to knock him out for the win.
No matter what, i love whatching great jab pussy fights ( as someone said it wouldn;t be earlier). This fight is all about skill, and it will be very fun to whatch and score.
most def. i agree and respect every opinion, is going to be a very fun fight to watch
You're saying that Floyd hasn't yet found himself in real trouble?
Watch the first Castillo fight.
Mayweather responded well, when he realized that he was in a real fight with Castillo and bounced back after being dominated in the middle rounds, with exceptional rounds in 9 and 11 to secure the win.
Also watch the Judah fight, for anyone that watched it live, the first 4 rounds, Floyd was in real trouble, and as a fan I can assure you that it was a very nerve wracking opening 12 minutes of that fight. Floyd was in serious danger of losing that fight if he didn't respond immediately. And look what he did.
yes i seen both fights vs castillo and the judah fight of course, well if he was stunned maybe seconds, but what i meant was knees on the canvas, blood, bad cut, pain, i understand mayweather is pfp #1 but all great fighters lose at on point...i watch boxing as a sport overall i don't play favorites, i give an advantage to DH not taking anything away from floyd

Delahoya has never taken a beating. The Hopkins fight was hardly a beating. Delahoya does not have the war wounds as a Morales, Toney, Vargas etc. Delahoya is used to these type of Hype Fights and that will be the difference. He is a better fighter than Mayweather at this weight. He will fight his fight and does not have to worry about the threat of Mayweathers power like he did with Mosley, Trinidad, Hopkins, Quartey. Delahoya will fight his fight. As for Mayweather's defensive skills, he's no Pernel Whitaker. Delahoya will hurt Mayweather early which will cause Mayweather to put on his dancing shoes and box. Delahoyas ring genralship will be enough to impress the judges in a somewhat boring fight. Delahoya by unanimous decision.
is this floyd ????? c-mon we know that you are mayweathers' #1 fan but you just got to admit it's not going to be an easy fight for floyd, just admit that....remember DHL has taken a beating already and has lost and knows the taste of the canvas floyd hasn't yet when he finds himself in real trouble he is not gonna know what to do next......i smell victory for oscar and that's by KO late rds maybe 8 or 9

You must be nuts. I don't see any kind of KO's in this fight. Floyd can defiently win by decision.

everyone is nutz if you all think this shit is going to floyd by UD. Oscar's star power has all judges on lock, don't forget that. Floyd knows this too, so he will bring everything he has to the table. So will Oscar. This will be an amazing FIGHT not some pussy ass jabbing or dancing contest. Everyone needs to stops making stupid prediction about Floyd winning on points or him even winning. So just cut it out and enjoy a history making FIGHT that will end dramaticly.

I think this will be a slow and calculated fight. I can see Mayweather running up quite a few early rounds because he will find Oscar an easier mark than Oscar will find him. Mayweather will win those rounds on the jabbing to the body, the tricky defense, and the sharp right hands that will land here and there.
I think Oscar may have a moment or two after that, but he'll find it pretty difficult to hit Mayweather, as Floyd will use his legs much more for defensive purposes in this fight. I will be surprised if Floyd frquently "sits in the pocket" as he does with lesser opponents.
At this point I'm going with a unanimous decision win for Floyd. Something like 116-112 or 115-113 on all cards.
oscar is gonna box 1st few rds....will counter with combos, he'll want to lure floyd in for the first 3 rds. maybe...I believe its gonna be opposite...Oscar will be backing up the 1st 5 rds, floyd will be somewhat the aggressor...then he's going to apply more pressure around rd. 7 maybe....winning 7-9...10th round will be a classic round....then 11 n 12th all floyd..........
the first 5 rounds and the 10th round of this fight will be the most important ones....whoever takes most of those is the winner by UD......
Trust!!....

For someone who is going with Mayweather on this fight, I can repect your points and this is a really good post. I respect the fact that you seem to be pretty objective which most fans that take Mayweather have a really hard time doing. I don't agree with a draw in the jab dept. Mayweathers jab is nowhere near as good or as effective as Oscars when he uses it consistantly. When Oscar uses his jab consistantly he still has one of thr brst in the business and it sets up everything else he does. It all starts with the jab for Oscar and if he can get it going earl and not go away from it, I think that will be trouble for Maywether. Oscars jab is stiff and snaps your head back, I've heard a lot of his opponents say that his jab is like more of a power shot than an ordinary jab. Floyd doesn't use his nearly as effectively and it would be a mistake for him to get into a jabbing contest. I also feel that at 154 Oscar has the advantage and will pull out this victory, but you make good points for the most part and think you made a very good post.
