it's a ****** question, it's simple i don't say that oscar will win but he's much more skilled than corrales and gatti, he's got a great chin, he's bigger than pretty boy...

DLH has much more skills, throws better combinations, very experienced, better defense than Gatti, better chin that Corrales

DLH is just the overall better fighter than those two...

With that said, I pick Mayweather

Oscar's victory over Gatti was far more impressive. Gatti was Oscar's Pinata.

What Elite fighter doesn't beat Gatti?

This is an opportunity for PBF to show me how good he is. I am on the fence at the moment with him. Obviously he has done well up to now, but this will show me things about Mayweather the opponents he has faced up to now havent been able to question.
Of course PBF has a great chance of winning but DLH has a great chance as well.

Can anyone tell me why DLH vs PBF is going to be different from those fights again?

Oscar has a jab, size advantage, strengh, defence, combinations, reach, power, chin, heart, foot work and handspeed even though they have slowed greatly.

Ridiculous statement.

For a start, Oscar's much bigger than those two. Second, he is a better boxer than those two, and about a thousand leagues above Gatti who only ever got to where he was because he was exciting, not because he was really any good. Also, Oscar is focussed on this whereas Corrales wasn't - he had huge problems at the time and went into the ring knowing he was probably going to jail. As Sugar Ray Leonard said, boxing is 80% mental, 20% physical.

Floyd may or may not win but it will NOT be a repeat of those two fights.

the difference is, floyd wont knock him down, or take his soul like he did to gatti......

De La Hoya has been in with some big punchers and big guys and never been KO'd apart from the body shot by Hopkins (a man who started his career at light heavy). There is absolutely no prayer of a Floyd knockout. I can't see Mayweather even hurting Oscar.

Oscar knocked out Gatti and quicker than Floyd did. Why compare those 2? Not to mention Gatti is Gatti. He's never been an elite fighter or anywhere near one. Corrales's mind was never on the fight. He had prison issues. So now think about it, Oscar is completely devoted to this fight, is so annoyed by Floyd's childlike insults and comments, and has Freddy Roach in his corner. Not to mention Oscar himself is 5 division champion, quick, strong, and smart. Now tell me how it's similar to the other 2.
