    same as the first.

    ok floyd clearly won 7-5 the first time. and the second tie it will be more of the same. to be honest that fight was not really boring it was just not as good as it was hyped wich made it look bad. i think this fight is BS it should be cotto de la hoya then the winner will prove who is ready for floyd

      It's good that he wants to fight the best, but he won't beat Mayweather or Cotto. He better not overlook Forbes either.

        I dont think Floyd clearly won 7 you can make a case for either guy to be honest with you, anybody who says that fight was a clear win is blind, that fight was about as dead even as it can get.
        I had Oscar ahead in the fight, but Floyd getting the nod didnt really bother me in the end Oscar fell asleep during the fight, I dont see that happening this time out, I think Oscar presses the issue a bit more this time, I think he makes Floyd fight a fight this time around weather or not it works is another story but I beleive that if there is any fight Oscar will let it all out in its this one, he has no other choice if he losses here there will be no mega fight in december.

          NOW:

          He was quoted by the LA Times as stating that Floyd Sr. was the person responsible for creating Floyd Jr's style, which also makes him one of the few people with the ability to put together a game plan to break the style.

          "Mayweather Sr. has that secret potion to dissect the Mayweather style," De La Hoya said. "Mayweather Sr. created that style, he made it, so working with him on the Forbes fight, I already feel confident I'll beat Mayweather Jr. [We have] a perfect relationship. Like a hand and glove. We're the perfect team."


          THEN:

          De La Hoya said money was never an obstacle, but rather he decided against stepping in the middle of an estranged father-son feud that might affect his focus.

          "Ultimately, my thinking was 'Is Mayweather Sr. going to be passionate about going for that knockout and how's he going to feel in the middle of camp (if) his family members call and say 'don't do it?' " De La Hoya said. "I don't want any distractions. This is the fight of my life; I need someone like Freddie, who is 100% with me."

            Well, Oscar is a year older, and Floyd is a year stronger.

            I think that is why it is a bad rematch for Oscar. Will Oscar have more stamina than before?

                THE MAYWEATHERS ARE PLAYING OSCAR.....

                Why would Floyd Sr. Teach Oscar how to possibly Stop Floyd JR. from continuing the path of becoming the greatest fighter of all time....

                  Nah. I mean a year older/a year stronger than their LAST fight.

                  Floyd became a stronger fighter. Oscar simply became an older fighter.

                    became an older fighter? hes way past his prime, it was quite obvious from his performance against Mayorga how old he is.
