The GREATER challenge for MAYWEATHER: MOSLEY or DE LA HOYA???

[El Jesus]

De La Hoya and Mosley both have KO wins that have put them at sensational status at the moment. but DLH is the bigger guy, and the more powerful guy, and in my opinion...i think DLH is a more accomplished fighter, and even at this point, i think the bigger challange.

Mayweather wanted Mosely and Oscar way back i think he knows what to do if he fough them.

the biggest challege for Mayweather is the his uncle Roger isnt on his corner.

what will happen after the Mayweather jr-DHL with all the Mayweathers in the ring?
proabably BBQ party or sometihng

oscar has had three fights in the last 2 1/2 years. huffing and puffing. barely getting by someone like sturm. laying down giving up against hopkins. it worrys me that oscar won't be able to ever be in top shape. saying all that i still see oscar out smarting and using his size to squeeze by boyfloyd imo.

i would be hoping that floyd would bring the best out of the always in shape mosley that can take anything floyd hits him with. mosley more than others can catch up to floyd and hurt him .

mosley would be a tougher fight for floyd imo.

yes i have too many questions about oscars stamina. if pbf gets on his bicycle
and potshots from a distance oscar will have a hell of a time winning rounds.

mosley can stay up with him.figure he wont be afraid of getting tagged by mayweather while fckg his gut up to slow him down.

both guys bring a different game to the table for Floyd and either way the difference in "difficulty" is probably very small to say the least. Its really all about who can get thru that Mayweather defense. Both guys would be the hardest punchers PBF will face. Mayweather probably the quickest outside of Zab but with a better ability to punch in combinations and a far wider range of skills. The big difference with these two opponents for Floyd I think will be the skill and experience they can draw on and the willingness and ability to engage him and get him into exchange situations. Floyd will not be able to sit on the ropes and duck and dodge shots as he did to slo mo baldo without taking shots that steal his wheels, so at some point hes gonna have to go back to throwin effective comination punching to hold these guys off and dictate the match. He needs to operate in-between smart boxing with lots of movement and effective stinging punches, without breaking his hands.

I think a lot of people are way off the mark if they think PBf can win either of these fights in any other fashion than making them track meets while generating just enough offense to win rounds. Now if he can pull this off he could do some real damage in the later rounds but he'll have to be willing to take the type of risks he wouldnt take against Baldomir. At the end of their fight Baldomir looked like you could push him over but still floyd decided not to sit down and exchange. Ok somebody mention the hand now,,,Im waiting...

Anyone seriously think PBF can go toe to toe with either of these guys and get the better of it? tell me how, not just opinionated rhetoric. Im not sayin he cant/ wont win this fight just not in the same fashion he beat up smaller but very good opponents. This will be the Floyd that wins on speed and defense and accumulation of points from smart offense.

mosley is actually faster the mayweather del ahoya might be too.. floyd is has good defense tho
