    I think the question will be can DLH set up his left by a nice right. Roach is going to be sitting up traps all over can not wait to see if PBF falls for them.

Mayweather has not looked very good since he has moved up from 140 (minus baldomir fighting naturally smaller fighters) and 154 may be too big for him. Whitaker is a much better fighter then Floyd and even he had to really choose his opponents wisely. I think DLH may be the wrong opponent for Floyd given the huge size advantange.

      Can we at least agree on one thing, however? Floyd is not going to win this fight in convincing and dominating fashion. If he wins it will be similiar to Baldomir - DLH. It will for sure not be the 'in-pocket' Floyd (I cringe when people say that because we have only seen that side of Floyd when his opponent has been hopelessly overmatched), either.
      I absolutely agree. Let's hope it isn't too ugly..

      It could easily happen they way you say it.

      My gut is in a weird place, though. Something strange may happen.

        I agree. I have a huge feeling in my gut that this fight will be fixed. DLH not talking, Floyd acting more disrespectful then usual (albeit his hardest opponent too)....the facts aren't just adding up. I hope Floyd gets knocked out and big time.

        Anyway, I'm going out.

          Since people are bringing sweet pea into this, ill share my opinion 2.
          Oscar won that fight.
          People keep saying pea was old, yeah but he was still ontop of his division.
          Oscar had a hard time againts pea because his movement (whitch floyd has) and the fact that he is a southpaw (pbf aint). Pea being a south paw made it hard for oscar to land his jab witch is his stronger hand and he didn't set up his power left hook.
          Any ways like I stated in my post in page 3, I think oscar needs to fight like he faught mosely in the second fight. Even tho the schoulder roll is perfect for stopping the rights oscar should not be heading into this fight thinking he can hurt him with the right, it is simply to set the hook up.

              YES to both questions

              If floyd does not hurt his hands, he could hurt oscar by accumulation of many fast accurate punches (I can remember oscar being hit by hard punches, but not by A LOT of punches).

              Oscar is going to hit floyd at some point (12 rounds for chrissake), maybe not right on the kisser but I guess enough to tell us something more about floyd's chin.

                ........I smell a boring UD win for Floyd. He will run and Oscar won't chase as much as we want him to. Oscar may land a couple of shots that put Mayweather right next to ***** street but in the end it will be a clear cut victory. I sure hope I'm wrong and PBF ends up in a heap on the canvas.

                  Oscar should try to get Floyd out of there early, we all know that Oscar runs out of gas late in the fights, and Floyd stamina is superb. He could make Oscar look like a fool...

                  I have a feeling that this will be a very booring fight.

                    Indeed, they are. Oscar is no Baldomir. Floyd is no Mayorga.

                      I know your wishing and praying Oscar beats him. BTW most of Zab's punches in the first 4 rounds were hitting Floyd's gloves. I give Castillo credit though.
