Anyways I would rather watch Oscar vs Floyd than Oscar vs Tito 2, Because both Oscar and Tito are out of their primes, but Oscar is'nt as finished as Tito is, and Mayweather Jr is in his Prime years, and to the road of Greatness!Comment

It is very interesting because although Oscar is out of his prime, the weight will be a big factor in this fight and the advantage goes to Oscar, and even hes out of his prime he has a lot of skills and Experience. Also he has the reach advantage. Last year floyd was a Light welterweight, and now hes going to fight at Light Middleweight. If he wins floyd better move down to Welterweight, he is too small to fight at light middleweight, even if he does it should be in a few years. And yeah Floyd wont retire.Comment

Boxing will experience a somewhat over-hyped event this coming May in the form of a fight between a prime Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather and a gracefully aging yet far from his peak Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya. This bout is not in the same class as matches between, say, a prime Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran near his apex, nor is it the equivalent of the battle between a peak Marvin Hagler and a prime Thomas Hearns, or any number of other past bouts.
However, De La Hoya-Mayweather is a good attraction, and certainly worthy of being offered on pay-per-view. It is possible this match may be among the most lucrative of all time, but this is because of the drawing power of De La Hoya rather than the talent of Mayweather. The reason this is such a creditable match is that it should prove to be competitive on paper at least, and it will give us a real clue as to just how great Floyd Mayweather really is.
Unlike De La Hoya, after this battle Pretty Boy will still need to show us much more than a victory over an aging Oscar before we can place him alongside such fistic immortals as Willie Pep, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Benny Leonard, Harry Greb, Mickey Walker, Ray Leonard, Bernard Hopkins, Roberto Duran, Eder Jofre, Manuel Ortiz, Marvin Hagler and so many other top-flight, all-time greats.
