Im Sure Roach Has Got Oscar Trained To Keep Wussy Boy In Check. Hes Going To Be Cutting Off The Ring Every Chance He Gets. Floyds Gonna Have To Man Up And Fight, To Bad His Ass Will Be On The Canvas...........
Well that's something we'll have to wait and see on May 5th.
And I'm pretty positive I'm going to be right (I usually am).
If you think Oscars jab cannot be effective than this is one of the times you are wrong. I'm sorry Oscar's jab is too good when used for it to not be effective.
If Oscar gets his jab going and sticks with it, it will most certainly be a factor and effect Floyd. You say a jab has never bothered Floyd, well he has never faced anyone with the type of jab Oscar has. Oscar has always had one of the best jabs in boxing. It is a stiff jab that is more like a power shot and snaps your head back. If he can get it oging and stick with it, this is one of the things that can offset Mayweathers speed. We still don't kknow how mayweathers speed will be affected at 154. It seems that he already lost some of it moving to 147 and we already know that he doesn't have the power. A good jab can neutralize speed and if Oscar gets it going it can be very affective.

You guys are insane if you think there is no size difference. You can easily see it when there face to face. Floyd has probally never been a 150 pounds his whole life while Oscar is a big guy. On fight night Floyd could easily weigh 150 while Oscar weighs 170. Ofcourse we wont know because Oscar is too much of a bitch to get on the scales again because he doesnt want everyone to know how big he is compared to Floyd.
Floyd is a little guy. He's probally the smallest guy in boxing P4P. Definatly the smallest of all the elite fighters. Even at 147 Floyd has came into the ring at 145 but yet your going to say that Oscar doesnt have a huge size advantage? Its a joke. It was just a few fights ago that Floyd fought Gatti at 140 and came into the ring at 145 pounds. He hasnt put on much weight since then. Oscar is the much bigger man. Much bigger
I have never seen Mayweather bothered by a jab, ever.
And I somehow doubt Oscar's jab will be anything more than non-existent in this fight.
Floyd's too fast on his feet to be bothered by jabs. He has great reflexes and leaps back before you can even land your jab, at least with regularity.
Oscar's only chance is to eat a few shots coming in, and hope to rough Mayweather up enough, that he lands his own shots on the inside.

No weight problem....
I have known that for a while.. FLoyd has no experience at 154 and is moving up by alot, but the Oscar's advantage in being the bigger man isn't as big as many people are making it to be.. Floyd has a better lower body by a bit and Oscar has a better upper body by a bit..
I think Floyd coming in with 7 extra pounds won't make too much of a difference. Heck, he might just come into the ring at 151.5 or 152 as active as he is.
I'm sure he's been working on making the required weight limit without sacrificing speed and stamina.
Shoot, he's got Team Mayweather strategizing for peak performance.
A huge factor would certainly be Oscar's jab if he can tag Floyd with it often. :boxing:
I have to post this every once in a while:
De La Hoya is nautrally bigger than Mayweather.
If you compare their respective careers you will see that Mayweather is a Lightweight and De La Hoya a Welterweight. Please go check yourselves instead of having me listing at what weigh classes they fought, for how many years and how old they were.
Also Oscar never weighed in at 130 24 hours before the fight.

Thanks for the stats...
Nice job there, Tio
As has been mentioned already, the major advantages to me are:
Oscar's age (may or may not be a big factor), big fight experience, knock out power, and chin.
Floyd's speed, stamina, defense, chin, and ring generalship.
Other than that, if they can knock each other down a few times, it would make for fight of the decade. :boxing:
