Whats this Oscar De La Hoya Hype all about?

[Googler]

Dont forget that Oscar is good at promoting, so Im not surprised at all about this hype. Hes just getting people to look forward to the fight, but when the day comes Floyd will win.

[Abe Attell]

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.

I don't think anybody really thought Zab could win if he didn't do it within 6...the guy has been mentally broke since Tszyu....but you can't deny the guy's incredible speed and power.

Baldy, now that was a guy that was hyped...Zab was beating his ass for most of the fight until he got caught, then things went down hill...but it still proved that Baldy was to slow to try to box a slick fighter.

And how about you answer my questions,

Could Hatton beat Oscar?
Cotto?
Margarito?

Is Oscar in his "Prime"...NO

[kayjay]

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.

I'm with Abe on this, and that's not to say much against those three guys. Oscar i older now but I think he put on one of the top six or seven performances of the year in his one fight. How many people can you honestly say looked better?

Floyd will loose and when the day comes you will probably make up an excuse like....He went to far up in weight and thats why he lost...which will probably be somewhat true because size does matter! But I will point my finger and say I thought you said he was gonna win and laugh histarically till I pass out.

Why everyone used the word hype? DLH got his respect. His resume stands out. Why people disrepect fighters with good resumes? If anyone is hyped it's Mayweather. He's a great fighter and all but i think he moving up too fast.

hes only had 3 fight in the welterweight devision...now hes moving on up again?? I doubt he will pull it off...Oscar knows how to cut off that ring, hes not gonna be able to box from a safe distance and step in and out when he feals like it to pop shot.

DLH better try to corner Floyd a lot and work the body. Oscar isn't as fast on his feet as Floyd. If Floyd's speed advantage is still far superior I don't think Oscar can win. Floyd must have been at 154 pounds at some point walking around to not worry about taking this fight. He was walking around at 150 before the Baldomir fight.

Hey buddy Im not saying Floyd is unbeatable. Im saying Oscars not going to be the one that is going to do it. Although I like Oscar more than Floyd, he is going to lose this fight.

Hey Abe Attell, are you going to put your money where your mouth is? I will most likely be at the fight and will put money on Floyd.

Yeah, I would if Oscar was fighting Hatton, Cotto, and Margarito, I would put my money on Oscar.

But, this is against Floyd, so I really don't know what is going to happen. Floyd can move around, and Oscar isn't fast like he used to be, so the edge would go to Floyd in this case.

What I am saying, if Oscar can land his punches, Floyd will have trouble...Floyd doesn't have Shane's chin, that's what I am saying.
