Truthfully...Is Oscar READY for Mayweather Jr?

[steptwome]

We all saw Saturdays performance against former Super Featherweight Champ Steve Forbes... And after a careful assessment, can we assume that The Golden Boy has no chance againt Mayweather Jr? Judging from the looks of his face...I would have to say no...others may disagree. Give your opinion.

Completely disagree. ODLH fought a solid former champion and controlled the fight from start to finish. He showed good handspeed punching in combination and threw an authoritative jab from start to finish. He sustained an energetic punch rate and he maintained his focus for twelve rounds. Forbes may not be the caliber of fighter that Floyd is but he was a very credible tune-up opponent whose style has many elements similar to Floyd's. Oscar haters want to call Forbes a blown up junior lightweight, but Forbes hasn't fought at that weight in at least five years as far as I am aware. These clowns don't understand what a tune-up fight is. They would only have been satisfied if Oscar fought Floyd himself for the tune-up fight.

I was impressed with Oscar's performance. It's clear to me that he knows where he made mistakes in the first fight. Barring a b.s. decision, I believe that he'll win the rematch.

I agree with nacho

although its much easier to be relaxed against someone whose there to be hit

delahoya got hit with some good shots by forbes, and he swole up pretty good. Floyd is more accurate than forbes and far more superior in conditioning, you cant compare the 2 in achievements or in style
Forbes has some ineffective flash and moves, nothing close to mayweather.

+ dela fighting at 147 , mayweather will win this fight with far more ease than the last one,

Is he serious, on his toes against mayweather? ...what the hell is that for strategy, or take his time vs mayweather? ...

A wide ud in favor of mayweather, or maybe a ko.
His jab and left hook didnt work last time, it wont work in hell this time, does he honestly think mayweather is gonna be exactly the same as may 5th..

if its not even competitive then why are they fighting?

how can u be the best, if you dont fight the best.

[Haterfree]

Do not be fooled by the haters. Oscar is a great fighter who is capable of beating anyone. There is only a 4yr age difference between Oscar & Floyd too. With a 10 month layoff Floyd might show some rust or slippage.

Dust of your copy of the fight if you really think Oscar's jab wasn't effective against Mayweather. Floyd only got into the fight when Oscar stopped throwing it.

[SupremeElectron]

Oscar didn't look horrible against Forbes, but Forbes and Mayweather aren't even close to comparable - outside of the fact that they're African Americans.

Forbes looked like a sparring partner in there with Oscar. I don't think Oscar can handle the elite welters (mayweather, cotto, margarito) anymore.

Oscar is smart though; he said his goal was to be a billionaire. I'm almost positive his next two fights will be Floyd and Cotto.

He'll lose both, but probably earn about 40 million combined... That's not too bad for a year's work (plus the forbes check).

Oscar's last fight will be next year against either JC Chavez Jr. or Tito.

[ИATAS]

I'm sure he's as "ready" as he's going to be, problem is though is he's past his prime. There is no turning back the clock.

Floyd > Oscar 99/100 times

I believe the rematch will NOT be close at all...Money will destroy DLH, sending him into retirement..If DLH decides to keep his jab working, it will be interesting to see how Money adjust to it..
