    Here's why....

    We all know what Oscar's done and how he fights.

    Based on his training with Freddie, we may see a, slightly, new and improved Oscar.

    Problem is, Floyd is a non-stop training machine whom (except for his hands) I have never seen hurt in a fight.

    He beat an undefeated G. Hernandez and an undefeated D. Corrales for the belts.

    He made some critical adjustments against Judah, that very few other fighters could have made in that fight, to pull out a win.

    And... Floyd's been training against bigger sparring partners for much of his career.

    To quote Floyd: "He knows he's gonna get beat. It's how he's gonna get beat. That's what he's worried about."

    With that said...

    LET'S GET READY TO RRRUUUMMMBLLLLLLLE!!!!!

      Gatti to beat PBF lol that is going a bit too far. I have to say i fancy DLH in this fight because DLH has the better resume. If PBF wins well then PBF will have my respect. I just hope he gives Hatton and Mosely a shot but i have my doubts. He is talking retirement again.

          I pick Delahoya by KO. That is my FINAL PICK.

          I think Roach did fabulous with DLH and worked on a strategy to knock PBF out.

            fights like these when you think something is going to happen, usually ends up shocking everybody when it doesnt go that way. so i'd look at either oscar by decision, or PBF by KO or late TKO. i know they sound crazy but crazy **** has happened more times then not. with all that said i still pick mayweather by UD, but it won't be a cakewalk.

                Hatton and Mosley should have stepped up when they had their chance...

                  Mayweather by SD in a very entertaining fight setting up a rematch and more $$$

                  even tho i'd rather see him TKO DLH's ass........

                    They still have a chance if PBF dont talk retirement. They would have accepted if they knew PBF wud retire. PBF has only just been talking recently about pipe and slippers.
                    So dont write anything off. He is only a boy PBF at 30. He has acheived a lot but there is still business to be doing.

                      Are you kidding? How was I sounding like a hater? I gave Floyd credit for his immense skill and said that if he beats Oscar it will be a huge win! Do you even read other peoples' posts or do you make assumptions on the content based on whether or not they agree with you?
