Does Oscar have a better shot at winning this time around? Vote
Will his ineffective aggression work again and give him a win?

They said the same thing about Hatton. "Why would I knock him out for 30 when I could beat him for 30 and knock him out for 60"
also i dont think many people imagined Joe Calzaghe on the seat if his pants after a couple of rounds with Hopkins
Oscar won't get stopped by Floyd, his chin is good and Floyd doesn't punch hard enough to hurt him, but he will win a UD again
anybody can get stopped when they are taking flush shots ,especially when they get into the latter part of thier career like what Oscar is
plenty of very durable fighters have been stopped late in thier careers
Oscar legs buckled in the 1st fight from a left hook and Floyd hardly threw any body into the punch

In terms of age and prime he's at a slightly bigger disadvantage than last time.
However in terms of staying busy (with the forbes tune-up fight) and apparently working out his stamina issues he has a better shot than last time.
Before the last floyd fight oscar was inactive for about a year (i think off the top of my head) and still managed to fall JUST short of getting the win.
His stamina seemed to show his age in the last floyd fight making him look his age or even older.
However in the recent forbes tune-up fight oscar looked to be 5 years younger than he actually is and didnt show much (if any) sign of fading. He looked sharp, on his toes; etc. something we havent seen from oscar in quite awhile.
I believe with staying active, working out the stamina issues, and having floyd sr in his corner it could put him over the hump and earn him a win with the cards being REALLY similar to last time but just in his favor instead of against him.
I dont think any reasonable person who follows the sport can count oscar out and pass him off as an "EASY" payday and a walk in the park. Oscar's career is deep into the home stretch and believe he will put every piece of fight in him in that ring come september. I for one wont count him out and you shouldnt either.
I think people may be a little more impressed by Mayweather in a re-match. Once Floyd beats someone I think his talent as a fighter and with this ring smarts he has you mapped out. In a re-match he really has a chance to show just how great he is, or could be. I hope!
I dont think Floyd can stop Oscar, This is coming from one of the biggest Mayweather fans on this website...People didn't think that about Hatton because they look too much into the "Undefeated" crap. I think Floyd CAN stop Miguel Cotto if he wants too and is willing too, but not Oscar. Oscar was taking Hopkins shot well until the bodyshot...which seemed like a dive, he was competitive with Hopkins too. I do however think it will be a wide decision this time, I can see Oscar winning 2 or 3 rounds.
118-110 or 117-111 for Floyd
Well last time they gave him a split decision even though he cleary won 116-112
Floyd should throw more punches this time, he can tag Oscar easy

I hope Floyd stops but i just can't see that happening

Bold statement but i feel u could be right Oscar was hit flush to much against Forbes ,his reflexes are clearly not what they were allthough i understand he has never had a great defence
Mayweather could deffo force a stoppage not sure if he will but i would not be suprised if did TBH
