    If Floyd is "unstoppable" he should have no problem playing Oscar at his own rules. If Floyd is all high and mighty then the size of the ring shouldn't matter.
    I am glad its a smaller ring. Its gonna force them to duke it out.. No running around in circles.. Should be fun to watch. As for the Reyes gloves.. ya Floyd is ****ed on that one.

        yeah, too bad floyd has no problem doing all this huh? he has a lot of confidence in himself, and that's all that matters. plus, add to this, he is a smarter fighter than de la hoya and floyd will dictate the fight and oscar will lose to him. oscar can take any road to victory he wants to, but at the end of it, waits floyd mayweather to block that road, so oscar in other words is ****ed. floyd punishes oscar in a boxing clinic.

          Good move or bad move?

          Floyd has said Oscar had been difficult to get in the ring with for a long time.

          Once Floyd decided to give up trying and call it quits, Oscar agrees to make the match. With certain conditions, of course.

          That's, most likely, the reason it took so long to put this fight together.
          Niether PBF or DLH could agree on all the conditions. Or rather, Oscar's conditions.

          In the end, I believe Floyd just agreed to whatever Oscar wanted just to, finally, get him in there.

          Good move or bad move?

          We'll have to wait until May 5th to find out.

            Come to think of it...

            Many enthusiasts speculate on Oscar's best strategy for defeating Floyd.

            I think Oscar's stipulations are his best chance at doing it.

            Hmmm....Could that have been Floyd Sr.'s advice to Oscar for defeating his own son while Oscar and Sr. were working together?

            Come May 5th, we'll see how that plays out.

              Delahoya is trying to buy himself into being puerto rican....and the puerto ricans are accepting him like one of their own ...which is the funniest thing ever,,,,and just like puerto ricans who rig fights in puerto rico ..delahoya is doing the same thing ...i guess he is learning from the best ....the close the fight gets the more I'm thinking on rooting for gayweather...maybe he will knock some sense into delahoya...
