    Whats this Oscar De La Hoya Hype all about?

    Hey guys Im just wondering how in the hell do you guys think De La Hoya has a chance against Floyd? De La Hoya has been inactive for a while and isn't in his prime anymore while Floyd is. This is going to be another win for Floyd. This fight isnt going to make or break Floyds legacy. I read some of you posting that if Floyd wins hell be going down in history as blablabla. De La Hoya is just fighting for the money now as we all know and isn't going to be properly trained for this fight.

    Note: I am neither a huge De La Hoya fan nor a Mayweather fan. Although I would prefer De La Hoya to win, I will be putting all my money on Mayweather.

    If Floyd wants to go down in history as one of the best p4p, he should beat Hatton, Margarito, and Cotto, and then beat a middleweight champ. Until then he will not be in the ranks of Sugar Ray Leonard, etc.

      What's the difference?

      Seriously, I have mentioned this before, who else is there that Floyd can fight that is better than Oscar from 154 down?

      Oscar vs Margarito...who wins?

      Oscar vs Cotto...who wins?

      Oscar vs Hatton...who wins?

      It's not like Oscar's lost his power and accuracy...if anything, he might be stronger now then ever before...it is his lack of fighting and decline of speed that concerns me.


      If he can knock Mayorga down with one big left hook, if that lands on Mayweather, what do you think will happen to Mayweather?

        Hey buddy,

        Oscars days have long passed him. He is not the same Oscar he used to be.

            First of all what he lacks is the will and determination. After that is his speed. Also take into consideration that he has fought once against a mediocre fighter in the last 2 years. He is still dusty.

                De La Hoya has a great chance at winning. Floyd will not be as strong at 154. Mayweather power shouldn't be nothing to DLH. DLH by far has fought and has been hit by bigger punchers. This is a very hard fight for Floyd.

                  Every Floyd opponent gets hyped before a fight, Zab had his back against the wall, he was as dangerous as a cornered dog, Baldomir was too big, and now Oscar is too big but has a decent amount of skills with Floyds dad in his corner, oh no, etc etc.

                    Wow, something is wrong with you, no offense.

                    Cotto gets stunned more than Bush does when asked a question

                    Hatton would look like Gatti vs. Oscar

                    Margarito, his slow ass would be beaten to death

                    Just my thoughts, lets see what others say.
