    No, I'm going with Oscar because of his power and the fact that his speed is also under-rated. Because Oscar by no means is a slow fighter.

      The version of DLH that fought Mayorga will get schooled. He can't match Mayweather's hand speed, boxing skills, ring smarts, and stamina. A lucky shot is his only shot...

        Oscar was outboxed by Mosley and outboxed by Quartey (Ike got bent over that night) while in his prime, there is no reason to believe Floyd won't easily do it now that Oscar is older. I don't understand why people think Oscar will eventually catch Floyd later in the fight. He lands his hook when fighters stand and trade with him. After Floyd builds up a lead, he won't be hanging around to get caught with a big shot.

          The majority of boxing fans don't like floyd. He has a moronic type behavior in and out of the ring.

              But somehow PBF has got some people here who really stand up for him. All they need to do is say they think PBF is great once, but once is not enough. Starting threads about how great he is, is over the top. I have my fave boxers and i havnt started even one thread to try kissing ass.

                Oscar's popularity can't save him next week.

                  Why do you even like floyd? He acts like a dumb ass, I don't understand why anyone can like him. I would think any sane person would be rooting against a dumb ass like floyd. Yeah, he's a defensive fighter, but he's a complete **** head and he looked like a loser hanging out with 50.

                    DLH to be competitive but run out of steam in the championship rounds. Mayweather by 3-4 rounds.

                    But fingers crossed for an Oscar KO!

                      What does personality have to do with picking who you think will win the fight? Look, I don't know Floyd, I don't hang out with him, and I don't give a **** if he's being an ******* to everyone. In the end, none of that effects me one bit. All I care about is watching great boxing and no one can deny that Mayweather is the most talented fighter in boxing today. That's all it comes down to.

                      And frankly, Oscar's image is fake anyway. Every little thing he does and says is planned in order to gain him fans. Sugar Ray Leonard gave him tips when he first signed with Top Rank in order to gain popularity. Obviously it's worked. But Oscar could be the nicest guy in the world but if I don't know him how does that effect me at all? It doesn't...
