Mayweather's Weight Issue

Also Roger will be back in his corner, and Floyd Sr is out of oscars corner, so this will take the emotional part away from the fight and mentally floyd will be 100%, also the fact that floyd is very confident.

id oscar comes in at 164 he has no chance...he won't be able to keep up. If he comes in at around 159/158 he has a chance small as that may be. at 164 he bcomes a punching bag like baldomir was. I hope ocar stands straightup like he did against mayorga so floyd can jab his body to death.

Oscar better work on defending the jab to the body since this punch will likely be his downfall moreso then floyds leaping left hook and straight right.

You sound like you are trying to convince yourself.

Baldomir was 164 pounds fight night against Floyd, now thats a weight of a super middleweight, but again Oscar is no Baldomir, all im saying the weight issue wont affect floyd much as he will burn those pounds in his body and train hard for the biggest fight of his life, if Whitaker can beat a Prime oscar (Oscar won on paper) then Mayweather who is more slicker sure can, and this is not the same Oscar as before, beating Mayorga does'nt do anything, Floyd will probably come at weight in 153 pounds and at fight night he would be 155/ 156 pounds, while Oscar would probably be 165/166 pounds, 1 or 2 more than Baldomir. and Mayweather will block most shots do the shoulder roll all night the speed/youth advantage is definately with Floyd and we still have yet to see his power at 154

Oscar was moving up in weight and still young and had some inexperience when he faught Whitaker. Oscars natural weight is around 155 or something so he should have no problem with the weight and Oscar is not Baldomir, hes quicker and smarter and knows how to cut of the ring. How are you gonna compare Oscar to Baldomir?? This will be a close fight and I see Floyd getting hurt from the accumulated power shots.. Going down around the 8th round.
If he wins he will win by UD though.

That was a better version of Oscar than this version of him...and Whitaker was already clearly on the decline.

Still though, Mayweather isn't as awkward or as slick as Whitaker was, Oscar will probably find him easier than he found Whitaker. Mayweather is much more of a straight up and down fighter, textbook fighter. I think he'll most likely beat Oscar, but it won't be easy because of the size and strength issues.

I agree with this post 100%.

Talking about Whitaker,i herd the most BS in my magazine 2day from Robert Guerrero,he said his favorite fight was Whitaker vs Chavez,he said 'Chavez wouldent stop hitting Whitaker to the body nonstop,and Whitaker was using great counters,IMO a draw was a good decision'

Is he crazy?

in a word...yes.

that fight wasn't a COMPLETE wash, but it was close. whitaker outclassed him in every sense of the word. i didn't think it'd get worse than the first ramirez robbery, but sure enough...

it was competitive for the first few rounds, but whitaker tactically took over and outboxed chavez.

whitaker should have won, he won like 8 rounds...but the nelson-fenech and holyfield-lewis draws were worse.
