Who's Your Pick: De la Hoya-Mayweather

[Technical_Skill]

But people wont and dont judge DLH by how he performed agaisnt mayorga to compare how he will fare against PBF. People judge DLH's whole career to see how he may do against PBF. DLH did ok with Mayorga and you are judged by your last fight.
We know PBF is better than Mayorga, but is he better than Mosely and Trinidad and Witaker etc? PBF will do in this fight what he has always done. Until we see how he reacts to being hit....if DLH can hit him that is, we wont know how PBF will be capable of performing on the biggest stage.

The difference in speed is a killer, its no coincidence that Trindad Murdered Mayorga and then got smacked about by winky. How does Fighting a guy like Mayorga prepare you for a guy like Mayweather, anyhow Mayweather carries his speed up to 154, De La Hoya wont know what hit him, people may see on may 5th, that there is a difference between one punch knockout power, and power of someone hitting you in the same place repeatedly, its a different kind of power, but the results can be the same.

Havent seen Trindad so cant say, Mosely aint a better fight than Pbf, not now, not then, not ever, probably the reason his tooth starts hurting when mayweather calls him out.

Another thing people havent talked about is the risk assesment, in my eyes Floyd knows he gonna win this fight, he's not ******, he knows De La Hoya has few ways he can win this fight, Floyd's doing this for Publicity, if he stops De La Hoya, he becomes the biggest name in boxing, i really believe that,

People get way too Sentimental talking **** like 'Dont make Oscar Mad, look what he did to Mayorga'. What kind of ****-talk is that, Grown men should be ashamed for talking like that. lol.

These same people were claiming Gatti would KO Floyd, and plenty of people said that, then when pbf schooled him they claimed they knew he was gonna win,

Take Sentimentality, preference and bull**** out the equasion, and judge this fight skill for skill, who has the better tactical options? whos the better fighter? who is more skilled? who is fitter? how are they adjusting to the weight?

Once you have taken these things into consideration, i believe it gives you a clue as too the direction of the fight.

Thats my take on it.

OFF TOPIC: AUSTRALIA ARE CRICKET WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!

[wmute]

I am completely undecided. Many scenarios in my mind, but I dont know how its gonna play out.

There is so many things going on in this fight, just think of what goes on outside the ring:

Maywether loves money.
If he is impressive against Oscar he can make more money in whatever he does next.
Is Mayweather going to take too many risks?

or...

The judges. Oscar has been on both ends of ridiculous decisions.

The Pressure. Cameras on each fighter in their gyms and homes, Mayweather's biggest fight so far.

The Family Drama

Oscar has a new trainer

[EliteSoldier]

Oscar doesn't just have a new trainer. He has someone I consider one of the best. Freddie Roach, and Mayweather snr would have done little to help oscar beat his son. It was a great choice for Oscar to drop Mayweather snr.

Yeah, Mayweather Sr. doesn't know anything about how his son fights...

oscar by ko. The left hook is gonna **** mayweather up.

[EliteSoldier]

Yeah, Mayweather Sr. doesn't know anything about how his son fights...

Do you honestly think Mayweather snr would train Oscar to destroy his son? They've had their differences, but thats his son.

For $2 million, I think he would have...

Roach is definitely an elite trainer. But when Oscar sits down in his corner after round 1, it will be the first time Roach tells him what to do and how it is going.

Is the Chemistry going to work? Trainers dont tell the exact truth to fighters, they adjust it because they know their fighters and have looked them in the eyes many times before.

To me it's all a big f-n' question mark

Mayweather sr. seems lowlife enought to do that

I'm picking Floyd by late TKO!! I don't care what anybody says i truly believe he can stop oscar late by a accumlation of punches or possibly make him quit on his school! i think Floyd is going to "shock" a lot of people & rise to the occasion!! The fight could go either way though as Oscar is the bigger & more experienced fighter. I actually wouldn't be suprised if Oscar won by dec or ko... but i'm sticking with PBF (let's just hope for a good fight)
