    Can Floyd Mayweather Jr. TKO De la Hoya?

    After I saw the De la Hoya/Forbes fight, I thought that Mayweather, being a much superior fighter than Forbes, who will also cheat if he wants/needs (debatable), could score a TKO by referee stoppage over De la Hoya in their rematch. Do you agree?

    He has the tools, but i doubt he will take the chances in order to do so. Remember, Floyd is a defensive/safety-first fighter. He knows that Oscar still has a dangerous left hook. He will fight as cautious as he did in thier first fight.

        It can happen, but I doubt it will.

          You do have a point. Makes me think about Hopkins/Calzaghe after the knockdown. Hopkins (like Mayweather) is so defensive/con minded that he just won't take the risk.

            Can this idiot stop making silly threads?

            The answer is the same.

            No.

                He can, time will tell if he will though. He said in an interview "Why would I knock him out for thirty when I could beat him for thirty and then knock him out for 60" Don't know how much of that I believe though.

                    Gloves? At 147, Floyd is NOT wearing anything less than 10oz's. He has to protect his brittle hands.
