De La Hoya: "Confident I'll Beat Mayweather"

[MakeDamnSure]

Oscar is now hyping the fight with Floyd... After he collects 30 million dollars dancing with Floyd dancing in the ring, he can relaxed because the money is in his pocket.. Forget what he said yesterday!

[Shem]

That MF only saying that to try and make Floyd look bad and create further controversy or possibly try and get a negotiation edge. If he beats floyd then he has to rematch him. Never believe what comes out of his mouth, he is all about business. He cares less what any fan thinks. If he did we wouldn't be talking about the rematch.

Exactly! He's not a welterweight! Fight Winky Wright! More and more I'm beginning to think he's a big bull ****ter.

although I DONT want to see Floyd fight Oscar again, the PLOT LINE FOR THE FIGHT IS GETTING THICKER!!!!

not so much Oscar -Floyd, but Floyd and his daddy....that feud is OLD, but trust me, when it comes on 24/7 and Roger gets to talking, it will SELL.....IMO

[~Lucky13~]

oscar was robbed in the first fight
when they meet again, oscar will make floyd his *****

[perfect perez]

this is some old luke skywalker vs darth vader type of ****. jeff is going to use his force to make oscar knock his son the **** out.

i doubt this one will do more than the previous because the previous was pretty much a dud. i can see Floyd going easy on Oscar to make the fight seem more competitive though.

Oscar should be confident, the first fight Floyd barley won and Oscar barley lost I see no reason for him not to be as confident. Honestly I think he has a shot, that is if time hasnt caught up with him.
Hell Evander looked pretty good from when he fought Mike Tyson and Moorer in the rematch, but suddenly once he stood in there with Lewis it was a totally different Holyfield age caught up with him, this could be the case here, if it doesnt happen with Forbes first.
I am not saying Oscar is Old, but lets be honest look at all the mega fights he has had recently against bigger guys, and look at the punishment he has took in those fights. Time might be his opponent from here on out we just dont know, but as long as he beleives in his mind he will win he gives himself a better chance of doing so.
in this sport you must have confidence.

he was pretty confident the 1st time...

Oscar trained his ass off the first time, he was full of purported confidence, he had (one of) the best trainers in the world in his corner - he'd had, much quoted, the best camp of his boxing career, and he still got beat quite convincingly. He still faded, he still got picked off with cute counters, he still couldn't seriously trouble Floyd. He won't win, there's nothing he can do.

Sorry but I think knowing the out come of the first fight and knowing how it played out, I think Oscar has a hell of a chance if age dont set in. it seemed like Oscar faded in the fight true, but to me he didnt look tired to be honest with you I think he was bored in that fight, somehow just lost interest in the fight, there was nothing that Floyd was doing in there to keep Oscar on his toes.
You see Oscar is at his very best when there is a real threat in front of him, Vargas, Quartey, Mayorga are perfect examples. Oscar is going to have to realize that this kid is saftey first, and he is going to have to mentally prepair himself for that kind of fight, but I also think he could have done so much more.
Honestly the Jab as everybody knows is the key, if he can Jab Floyd in the left shoulder the way that Peter did to Toney, he will be able to knock Floyd back, that Jab to the shoulder will push Floyd back setting up the right hand and left hook, if he lands enough of them, he injurs Floyds shoulder.
