Oscar could beat Floyd if...

[darkvladimir]

He worked on his conditioning, utilized his jab for the duration of the fight, and attacked at a steady but consistent pace. You cant wait for Floyd and let him set himself up. You do that and he just picks you apart. But honestly, the strategy to beat Floyd is nothing new. Problem is, no one has been able to consistently go through with the strategy. You saw Oscar do it for 4 rounds, Zab Judah do it for 5. Bare in mind the last prime fighter Floyd has fought is Ricky Hatton, a natural junior welterweight. Before that, Phillip N'dou is 2003. I think he beats Cotto due to speed, beats Cintron due to speed/intelligence, beats Mosley due to speed/intelligence, but will have fits with Margarito and Williams, big guys who have the height/reach advantage, big punch outputs, and good speed. Thats my 2 cents. I know boxing.

Oscar is flat footed. The way he fights zaps his energy. He was well conditioned for his bout with Floyd but still gassed because he can't handle that pace.

He fights flat fooded to conserve energy. What he doesnt realize is that by doin that, u give more of a stationary target to your opponent. If he works in his conditioning, he'd be able to fight on his toes, coupled with a consistent jab, and he has a really good chance.

That was a slow ass pace. I'd hate to see what happens in a fast tempo fight.

meh...Its more a question of "Floyd could lose to Oscar if..". This rematch is simply Floyd's to lose, not De La Hoya's to win.

In the first place, I don't see any compelling argument for this fight's existence; Oscar will be older, Mayweather will be just as good or better. Unless he takes his opponent lightly, makes ****** mistakes, or fails to train sufficiently, Floyd is almost guaranteed a win. And Mayweather doesn't make these kind of mistakes.

Which is exactly why he is taking this fight. Why we would pay to watch Oscar lose predictably, again, is unfathomable.

Maybe if "Golden Boy" loses again we can finally be rid of the illusion that he is still a world class, competitive fighter

the only way oscar can win is if floyd somehow breakes both of his hands and his legs in the fight....
