Can Floyd HURT Oscar and can Oscar HIT Floyd?

anyone can hurt anyone if u time the punch right

Floyd will hurt Oscar. Even if he doesn't land anything big at a time you have to understand that all those jabs and rights add up over the course of a fight. Oscar won't hit Floyd. Oscar's too slow for Pretty Boy's defense.

According to The Ring these are the principle questions of the outcome. Indeed, they are. Oscar is no Baldomir. Floyd is no Mayorga. Oscar is better than Baldomir. Baldomir is imposing, but Oscar has way more knockouts and much more power. Not to mention the speed factor. If De La Hoya can land cleanly on Whitaker, I don't see how Mayweather will trouble him in that respect.

It was a general exaggeration to prove a point... Obviously no one can dodge everything. But can Oscar land accurately, decisively, and consistently enough to rock Mayweather and knock him off his feet? With Mayweather's smart, swift boxing style I have reason to doubt that scenario. Again, let us refer to the Mayweather-Gatti fight to see why the punching power factor isn't as much a factor as it is made out to be. A boxer beats a puncher any day of the week. That said, Oscar is a well accomplished "boxer" himself that just happens to have the strength that Mayweather (supposedly) does not. However, Mayweathers offensive style is illusive enough to score here and there all the while not really landing anything substantial, however it is enough to appeal to the judges in addition to the factor of Mayweathers superb defensive advantage. It should be an interesting fight no doubt, but I don't see Mayweather nor De La Hoya being knocked out. I see a Unanimous decision in favor of Mayweather in this one. As do I. Excellent clarification on the point. I've seen some of your posts - intelligent stuff. :fing02:

You are the first person that I recall that feels definitively that De La Hoya has absoultely zero chance of landing.. Interesting. It was a general exaggeration to prove a point...

Yes, Oscar can hurt Floyd but he is going to find it hard to land clean. As for PBF hurting Oscar yes to the body over and over again The body punches will be huge in this fight, altough i believe Oscar can take a punch to the stomach he will lose stamina (he already gasses out late). Floyd also has better (great) footwork and ring intelligence. Oscar will land, maybe even put Floyd on queer street but Floyd will go to the body often and by round 8 or 9 Oscar will be a sitting duck. peace

Oscar will be made to very slow on May 5th... though he is not. Nobody realizes how fast floyd is until they fight. Floyd will pivot grab and sidetep with great footwork and accuracy all the way to a 12 round Unam decision.. maybe split if they wanna make it interesting. "They told me he was fast, But not that fast!" - Gatti

This question is irrelevant. Sure, Oscar may have the heavier punch. And sure, maybe Oscar can take more punishment being the bigger of the two. That seems to be the logic behind the argument. But does it matter when he can't land a punch? Floyd's outstanding defense and speed overshadows Oscar's heavy punching offensive advantage. Whether Floyd can truly hurt Oscar is irrelevant. Can he beat him? Definately. To hit and not be hit is the key to winning on the scorecards. Need I remind you, this was the same argument pre-Gatti-Mayweather, and we all know how that turned out.

NO FUCKIN WAY floyd can hurt oscar! and oscar can & will hit and hurt floyd!

floyd can hurt oscar and he will hurt oscar. .................But you don't want to elaborate? Tough statement.. Based on the way I've seen De La Hoya eat shots - I doubt it.

I know for a fact dlh can hurt floyd,only way i see floyd hurting dlh is if he catches him with an unexpected shot

Instead of making a thread about whether or not Oscar MUST get a KO to win (which has already been done 8 different ways I'm sure) - I'll have to bump this one in saying that I believe that is the case. I think Oscar has very little chance of winning unless he catches Floyd. Very, very little.

This is an answer I can vibe with!i'm sure you can vibe with it. but, while you're vibing i'll be proving you wrong come may 5th, so vibe all you want because it won't mean a thing come may 5th, i guarantee you.

Please elaborate. i don't have to elaborate. it's pretty clear cut, just watch the fight may 5th, and when oscar loses badly i am going to rub in your face, trust me.

hahaha, i LOVE pbf fans :D Floyd Can And will hit Oscar but wont hurt him. Oscar will just walk through his punches and cut off the ring. Oscar Can AND will hit and hurt Floyd. Floyd is faster than Oscar but that isn't saying Oscar aint fast himself. Floyd will get caught and when he does he will be in shock cos in all of his 37 fights he will have never felt anything like Oscars left hook. This is an answer I can vibe with!
