Obviously, that is if he doesnt decide to disgrace the sport and its fans by retiring in his prime. With all the smack about being an ALL TIME GREAT, he can't walk away now and expect to be remembered as one.
But after DLH, if he gets pulled out of a brief retirement, he'd probably get in the Ring with MOSLEY. Why is that not a SUPER FIGHT?
If the hype is still around mayweather after the stoppage of DLH, that would draw like 700,000 PPV buys, right?
Not to mention the fact that a fight with Mosley is a lot more promising entertainment wise if you ask me. DLH-MAYWEATHER could be better though, u never know in boxing
I hope we have seen the last of Mayweather, cant stand his bullshit talk about his greatness and how good he is. As you self this would Robinson have fought Hatton, Margarito, Mosley etc ? Of course he would, perhaps Mayweather is afraid of the pressure Hatton would have put on him, he sure didnt like the pressure Castillo put on him. Yes is a great fighter and his win against Oscar confirme that.But, he is not as great as he seams to think.
answer
NO!!!!!!
told ya
it was all gonna come down to how and if he wins
course he won
but the way he "won" no sir
i was at a restuaunt watchin the fight
even people that were goin for him
more so by default cuz of DLH hatred were even say wtf was that
he didnt do nothin
i wouldnt pay to see this guy fight
so in my opinion no
I agree the chances aren't all the great.
But certainly stranger things have happened in boxing than would be the case here. I could see a potiental stoppage if an already outclassed De La Hoya, is just getting beat up on with blistering combination by Mayweather in the late rounds. (Of course his hands have to hold up)
Would I be surprised if that happened?
Sure, a little.
Would I be absolutely shocked?
Definitely not.
I really really have a strong feelings you're going to see Floyd put on the performance of his career on May 5th. I really do.
If i can make a bold prediction, i think Mayweather stops DLH in the 11th or 12, after a pretty sustained beating.
I did some hardcore studying of the numbers, which isnt always the best way to go, but i tried it out cause i never had punchstat numbers this easily available to me.
But if Vargas really opened up with powershots and couldnt budge DLH, then Mayweather has absolutely no chance of rocking oscar. i dont think floyd will ever really hurt or drop oscar, more of oscar getting stopped on his feet
But the stats also show that nobody lands more then 10 power shots a round on floyd, even the quick fisted zab judah, and zab also used a very good jab to no avail after mayweather figured it out
So i think Mayweather will avoid DLH shots, and counter effectively and use his great straight right hand for the first 4 or 5 rounds. Really soften DLH up for the stoppage.
Then in the 8th or 9th, DLH will start retreating more often. And then by the 11th or 12th, Mayweather will have DLH very tired and softened up, and he'll get DLH on the ropes and open up on him and stop the fight.
Thats what i see happening
Not unless he completely dominates De La Hoya in an offensive fashion. If the public perceives he ran the whole fight and then he finally landed a shot that DLH felt was good enough to quit on he wont become the next PPV star.
Or if it becomes another swimming lesson. You gotta remember B-Hop already stopped Oscar and he still didnt become a PPV star.
Nooo!!!! Raesaad you can't leave! If you do, I would grow a mustage in your honor! If DLH wins I'm gonna come back.. stir some shit up and leave, I would have left a while ago but I just can't help but participate in the hype.
:lol1: :lol1: we'll see.......
If PBF stops DLH as in TKO/KO I will never post here again......It simply can't happen.I don't mean a bullshit stoppage either I mean a true beating.

Im watching NBA on TV, we get it Live in the UK, i dont really know anything about basketball, i do know the big names though.
Why do people think Steve Nash is better than Kobe Bryant?
It really pisses me off,
I think Bryant is the most gifted player ive ever seen, i including Jordan
No?
Or is Nash Better?
different styles of playing......Nash is more efficient overall as far as a team player/MVP would go.Kobe is no doubt the best single force in the league....followed closely IMo by Arenas,Wade and Iverson to name a few.
we will see how it goes....I am quite confident Osacr will not only survivie but win.

Ok, perhaps sat night will be your last day here then.
Im refusing to give my prediction for the fight, dont wanna Jinx it,
Deliveryman was spot on in what he said though.

If it is a legit stoppage or KO yes.....and it will break my fucking heart x10.

OK, then, so if Pbf does TKO DLH you will quit posting here?
Just to make this official.

If PBF stops DLH, he could become the main draw in boxing, May 5th if he boxes well he could become mainstream.

depends if and how he wins
Precisely. If he "stinks" out the joint and wins a boring decision by playing a saftey first game it won't help make him into a PPV star. I'm not saying which way he should approach the fight, a win is a win, but what fans want in a PPV superstar is not defensive brilliance.
If he throws a lots of punches and goes on the offensive at times busting up Oscar, it will certainly gain him some new fans. No matter what happens he won't be a star over night, but it will be a huge leap forward.
I really hope he doesn't retire either way.
If Mayweather puts on another virtuoso performance, and stops Oscar.
Mayweather would probably do at least 500K buys against anyone he decided to fight. I agree a fight against Mosely would do like 700K-800K buys.
I think you're right, not quite at de la hoya's level and drawing power but he'll be the biggest star in the sport as long as De La hoya doesn't come back.
