    Floyd never even came out of second or third gear. Maybe that's what he meant by his "C game." He stood in the pocket with De La Hoya about 85% of the time and allowed Oscar to bull him. If Mayweather wanted to win all 12 rounds he could have easily.

      I never count Oscar out.. Maybe if it's a thing where we would have to dress up as men, then I'd count him out.

      But against Floyd, Floyds coming off a big knockout victory over the Big Show! haha!! .. But seriously though, it's the year of the upsets.

        He can win it. If I was him I would not chase Floyd down Id stand there, let him come in or let the boos roar from the crowd if he doesnt.

          Now that is a damn good idea. ^

            So let me get this straight... your advice to Oscar is to stand in the middle or the ring and try to fend for himself? You don't think it would be advantageous for Oscar to put Floyd on the ropes?

            Bad advice IMO.

              You don't think Floyd would just pick him apart though?

                He probably has more of a chance than Cotto...

                  I agree, but the boos might make Floyd do something ******. When they started picking up at the end of the first fight Floyd got a little careless.

                    That's the another thing that becomes crystal clear watching De La Hoya vs. Mayweather. Cotto would get KTFO. 1000%.

                      Floyd has never done anything ****** in the ring in his career to my knowledge. I doubt the fans booing would do anything.

                      ^^^^^
                      That is not a fanboy statement either. He fights every fight with his brain for every second of every round. I have never seen him take an unnecessary risk, except for when he lost his ****ing mind against DeMarcus Corley and fought the whole fight like he wanted to lose. I think he learned his lesson from that though.
