De La Hoya: "Mayweather Has To Win By Knockout"

[P.WILL]

oscar is right. if floyd can't KO a dude coming up 2 weight divisions, that ****in sad. same thing for cotto. both floyd and cotto need to win by KO or be forever shamed.

well i agree that floyd needs to ko marquez but cotto ko pacquiao no becuase pacquiao already has one fight at welter and one at L.welter

[Hero Complex]

Not only do I think Marquez will win but I also think he gets the KO.

[sweetpea87]

Yeah thats kind of true I think. Even though marquez is a hell of a fighter since he is such an underdog it won't make Floyd look all that great if he decisions him. I think he needs to at least stop him by TKO.

[Pullcounter]

well i agree that floyd needs to ko marquez but cotto ko pacquiao no becuase pacquiao already has one fight at welter and one at L.welter

yeah, but cotto called those wins overrated... hence cotto must win by KO

[FrankieClutch]

I think Oscar got hit way too many times by Manny. It's the other way around. Marquez is the one that needs a knockout. Oscar should know better than anyone that the better known fighter gets the decision in Vegas. Floyd can outbox Juan all night and get the UD. Marquez needs to KO Floyd, otherwise no win for him.

i think ODLH meant the in order to make a staement to pacquiao and the fans, he needs to **** marquez up. no just win a UD.

[lopez36]

of course he should win by ko,,after all he's a lot bigger,fighting the small lightweight,floyd talks big,that he'll knockout guys,but come fight night,all he does is dance around,he should atleast tell us thats what he will do and "warn us".tell us,hey pay 50 bucks,but i will do nothing but run around.lol

it seems that damn near 80% of the people who watch floyd fight dont know a damn thing about boxing, his uncle roger is right only a few know what theyre seeing. floyd doesnt "run" idiots, its called footwork, ring generalship. plus this fight is not a mismatch as many would want you to think, true, floyd is a 147lb boxer but he is not a big, strong welter like cotto for example. and is alot easier to gain weight and put on muscle then it is to lose weight and muscle like oscar had to do in order to make weight vs pacquiao, which is the reason he looked like an ethiopian crackhead that night.

and if the fight is such a mismatch, why so many are begging floyd to fight manny for, wouldnt that be a mismatch as well? marquez is a way better boxer and counter puncher than manny is, so floyd isnt cherrypicking his opponents, he'l be facing one of the best in the world sept.19 . and why make a big fuss about marquez coming up 2 weight classes, but when pacquiao beat oscar,people praised him like he was a god or somethin, knowin damn well oscar was dead meat before it even started.

people just hate floyd no matter what the man does, he will always have haters, because hes flamboyant and talks alot. and they praise manny because hes quiet and doesnt talk, who cares about the personality, its about what they do in the ring.

prediction: MAYWEATHER WINS BY U.D. VS MARQUEZ
prediction: MAYWEATHER WINS BY K.O. VS PACQUIAO

[SOCAL BOXING]

I agree with the fact that Marquez needs the tko or something close to it, the fight cannot go to the judges, it'be a Mayweather win without a doubt (vegas judging). The way ODH is trying to taunt Mayweather is a good strategy, but "money" has rarely been the agressor in a fight i dont see him starting now, atleast not with this caliber of opponent. Now, Mayweather easily outboxing Marquez is an absurd statement, if this fight becomes a "boxing" fight it'll be a chess game by the best technician's in the sport today...

I think they can and should win by KO but marquez and pacquioa have been fighting in the 140's for atleast a half a decade and marquez weighed 144 when he fought juan diaz on fight night and pac was 146 when he fought marquez so the weight issue is being taken out of proportion in the mayweather-marquez fight... in the pacquioa fight you can make a decent case for a weight issue since cotto is a blown up welterweight who often weighs upwards of 155 on fight night but mayweather is a small welterweight who gains 4 lbs. at the most on fight night but he usually just remains around the same weight.

Prediction: Mayweather wins by u.d. Vs marquez
prediction: Mayweather wins by k.o. Vs pacquiao

nicely put... I strongly agree with these point of views. Postfight: Mayweather u.d over marquez even if marquez wins the fight in the eyes of true boxing fans he will still recieve a loss (politics/judges.)
