I have a feeling we will see a completely different Floyd in this fight. I think we will see a Floyd that we havent seen since the Chico fight because I think this fight is very similar. Now no doubt Oscar is much more skilled then Chico but Floyd hasnt been so outmached weight wise since the Chico fight.
Lately Floyd has fought much slower fights, not in terms of hand speed but just in turn of his overall body movment. Until the Baldy fight he was slowly walking guys down and stalking them. Against Baldy he boxed but didnt throw many punches and just stayed on the outside.
Now there is no doubt Floyd will never be as fast as he was at 130. Its just not possible as you add more weight and your older but he can still be very fast if he wants to. I really believe that Floyd will fight Oscar like he did Chico. He will fight with alot of speed, not just hand speed but overall body movement. I think he will be constantly moving but not running at all. He will be darting in & out and landing multiple combinations, ala Surgar Ray Leaonard and ala Floyd at the lower weights and against Gatti.
I think this will bother Oscar alot because him and alot of others will be caught off guard by how much speed he fights with and again, Im talking more of his body movment. When the later rounds come and Oscar tires then thats when Floyd will really start sitting down and going toe to toe with Oscar in which he will suprisingly outduel him.
It should be a great fight but I really believe that because of the weight advantage for Oscar, that they will try to fight with alot of speed just like in the Chico fight. Also, despite what alot of people will think, this fight will be super exciting and very action packed. There will be no boring moments and the crowd will be very into it for start to finish, which could make Floyd a big star and I think even the haters will have him P4P#1 after that fight and those who dont will be called haters by alot of other writers because it will be so obvious
