They didn't nail him enough though. They need to make the pretty-boy bleed out his face like Oscar can do. Let the pretty boy taste his own blood. And when floyd does get hit in the face, he backs off because he knows his weakness. Like UNCLE like nephew, blood is thicker then water. Genetically linked to have a weak chin like his uncle. And Castillo and Judah landed leaps more on Mayweathers body then they did to his chin. They hit him flush on the chin, but anyone can take a couple of punches to the chin. It's when you have to take constant attack on the chin. Look at my joe calzaghe/jeff lacy gif image. If Oscar could just land a punch like calzaghe did to lacy. Floyd would go down, but its harder to do then be said because floyd is protective of his face. Once he gets hit in the face, he hits and runs. He's smart, and he holds then tried to dodge the punches coming after him. Floyds smart thats why he has alot of wins. But Oscars no dumby.

Castillo hurt him, Corley hurt him, Im sure other people have hurt him too. Floyd does not have a granite chin, wich is why Oscar basing his fight around trying to get in 2 or 3 left hooks is a very valid strategy.Comment

this point you made was completely ******. who would want to get hit in the face constantly? nobody who has a brain. floyd can take punishment well and dish it right back out. when he fought emanuel burton, floyd bled, and emauel was a tough opponent who dished out punishment to floyd. floyd took it well and whopped on his ass. but, the point i'm making is, that floyd always said, the less you get hit, the longer you last in th esport of boxing. it's no secret, it's smart. it's not a slugfest, it's a competitive contact sport, you have to fight smart, and floyd fights smart. he doesn't run, he paces himself, and choosed his punches wisely. oscar isn't dumb, but he's no floyd. and, floyd doesn't have a weak chin, and has taken some hard shots, and bounced back well. floyd's always been a defensive fighter, so it's in his nature to fight defensively.Comment

castillo hurt him, yet, floyd still won. corley hurt floyd, yet, floyd knocked him down and beat him easily. oscar basing his fight around getting 2 or 3 left hooks in is very dumb on his part, and if you think that is vaild, then you are obviously not that bright either. floyd is a craftsman in the ring. he knows oscar's looking to land his left hook and floyd will counter him all night with straight rights and body shots also.Comment

sure he willComment

key words, "when oscar was in his prime." im a fan of boxing not of just fighters. lets be honest for a sec. oscar look good for his return fight against the human punching bag mayorga, any other fighter would have given oscar a run for his money on that night. his timing was off and he got hit by a much slower guy. floyd is the most gifted fighter that oscar has faced. in order to win this fight ocsar will have to hand the left hook he couldnt land against mosley,hopkins, or sturm. floyds defense and footwork is much better than these guys.
unlike oscar, floyd is in his prime and is always in the best condition.
also when u put on weight and train like these guys do, you dont get weaker you only get stronger. i do agree with floyd his power and speed will leave oscar dazed. by rd 4 look for floyd to really open up and turn it into any of his lopsided fights.Comment

you need to really watch his fights before you post. you have no idea what you're talking about. did he not finish corrales, gatti, manfredy? i think he did? what are you talking about?
no, people don't underestimate how vicious oscar is inside those ropes, they underestimate floyd's punching power, and they will be in for a huge surprise may 5th as will you.Comment

Gatti was in wars, and Gatti doesn't have any defense what so ever. He's just a crazy brawler type fighter. While, corrales was weight-drained and thats why floyd had no problems taking him apart. Corrales dropped like 15-20 pounds, and that wasn't the best version of corrales at all. Not trying to take anything away from floyd, but his comp isn't exactly impressive. I think one of the hardest opponents he has faced is Castillo. Would have been Corrales if he fought Corrales in a different weight class.Comment

all this sounds like is excuses. he destroyed all of them easily exceptfor castillo. corrales should have never taken the fight if he having legal issues and weight issues. same with gatti. gatti looked very strong during his training camp, and he's no pushover, but floyd made buddy throw in the towel. i'm tire of seeing and hearing the same excuses about gatti, zab(who has faster hands than oscar), coralles, and castillo. floyd's competition is just fine. he fought hernandez, castillo, corrales, gatti, zab, baldomir. all these guys are always threats to any opponents. didn't gatti stun oscar several times when they fought? yes he did. isn't zab tough when he is focused, yes he is, to anybody. he may even beat cotto. didn't carlos beat zab and gatti? yes he did. wasn't corrales a bigger puncher than floyd when they fought? yes he was, no excuses. floyd fought castillo in their 1st fight with an injured shoulder, he made no excuses, he fought him again, and castillo lost again. you heard no excuses. didn't gatti have the puncher's chance against floyd? yes he did, no excuses. didn't castillo push floyd to the limit in their 1st fight, yes he did, and still lost, but no excuses, even though the scores were terrible imo. didn't zab give floyd some problems when they fought? yes he did, he was focused, but mayweather's body shots broke him down, no excuses from zab either.Comment

I'm sure Mayweathers going to have plenty of excuses when he loses to Oscar.
Some of Mayweathers excuses after he loses to oscar.
1) I went up in weight and I lost, sue me
2) I broke my handComment
