    Oscar is going to make it a war....he has enough will & heart added to his skills to do it....if he knows he's losing, he'll turn it up a notch......as for Floyd, he's just going to find pot shots like he always does...

      But the fact of the matter is, Mayweather doesnt know how to fight toe-to-toe. It not his style.

      BUT, i do think this will be a great fight. A really good fight. Nothing FOTY like...

      ...but a Leonard-Hagler type fight. Maybe even a bit better
      Mayweather doesn't know how to fight toe to toe?

      Mayweather vs Augustus
      Mayweather vs N'dou
      Mayweather vs Carlos Hernandez
      Mayweather vs Genero Hernandez
      Mayweather vs Jesus Chavez
      Mayweather vs Corley
      and some rounds of Mayweather vs Judah

          Mayweather makes an entertaining fight when he has his way=Gatti. Gatti didn't try to mount any attack so Mayweather wasn't scared to pick him apart. A fighter shows little resistance(Baldy), and he prefers to hit and run. This is what's going to happen against Oscar, no doubt.

              A fight doesn't have to be competitive for it to be entertaining. Gatti- Mayweather was one of the most interesting and exciting fights I've seen. It was like watching Michaelangelo paint on a canvas. DLH chances are being overrated in this upcoming fight. Floyd by wide UD.

                It'll be disappointing if after a few rounds DLH can't figure out PBF's defense and offense as in: PBF vs Corrales.

                Then, alot of people will start to walk out of the MGM Grand in the middle rounds as in: PBF vs Baldomir.

                But, who's to say what the heck'll happen?

                I'ts all just speculation until fight night. Right?

                  I wouldn't be suprised if it was a chess match. If its a chess match Floyd will win.

                    Watched DLH vs Whitaker again the other day to see how DLH dealt with a speedy defensively slick style and was pretty impressed by how Oscar dealt with whitaker. DLH is quite a bit stronger now, fights standing straight up instead of bending so much and has developed his right into a much better weapon plus removing the southpaw variable out of the comparison will really make this fight interesting. Neither guy works much on the inside so whoever takes the initiative there could reap some benefits. I think this fight will have a lot more action than most think.
