"Most people cannot see past a convincing Mayweather win, but I've been in the ring with him recently and I'm giving Hatton a tremendous chance to win," said De la Hoya. "Mayweather didn't like me jabbing at him for the first five rounds in our fight. He didn't know what to do," he said. "Hatton is younger, faster and stronger. He's going to have his hands full, but if he adds the jab much more to his armoury, Mayweather's going to be in for a surprise."

1) Oscar, if you were so convinced that the jab was beating Floyd, why didn't you just coast to an easy victory?

2) Hatton is "younger, faster, and stronger" than WHO??

3) Oscar, are you suggesting that Hatton -with his 9 inch long arms - start jabbing Floyd?

Hatton will have success with the jab and lead left hook against Floyd.

Should we be worried about the judging in this fight? Considering Oscar is the promoter, and badly wants an important fight with Hatton to cement his legacy.

Dios, do you ever tire of this garbage? Oscar's picking Hatton to win...get over it. lol

Let me clear up this jab fiasco with some people. Alright, Oscar's jab undoubtedly had success against Floyd. However, not many people have a jab as fast and as strong as Oscars. DLH is LEFT HANDED and fights orthodox so he uses his dominant hand (why do you think his left hook is so good) to jab. Using his dominant hand to jab makes it supremly fast and strong, I can count the people with better jabs than him on my hand, because there aren't to many.

Did he pick hatton to win?

And aren't you in the same thread as I am? Are YOU tired of it?

Don't act like you are on some moral high ground. Please. Stop yourself.

Oscar seems to be on a tirade of sorts. I do hope that whatever the outcome, the fight is judged accurately and in earnesty, without bias. I would hate to see Mayweather lose due to Oscar's vendetta. (Or win because Oscar has something to gain.)
