    On Sept. 14th, Oscar De La Hoya told USA Today that he was 'sure' Marquez would beat Mayweather, 'I've been in the ring with Floyd, I was amazed how easy it was the first seven rounds, he can't hit, he can't hurt me, his punches lack power', etc. etc. etc. He was definitive in his assessment that Mayweather basically is overhyped.

    On Sept. 21st, on FightHype.com, Oscar is quoted now as saying, Pacquiao has no chance against Floyd, Floyd is back, hes too fast, speed and abilities, no rust, etc. etc.

    This is the kind of thing we're used to by now from Oscar. Because he's always so honest.

          I really strongly favour him over every WW now, his size was his only weakness
          He couldnt stop a LW, ,ID say his lack of power/willing to go for a knock out at WW is a weakness too.....

            DLH picked JMM to win.
            Clearly biased.

              "Entering the ring unofficially weighting 160 pounds just as does Shane Mosley"

              7:55


              Floyd is not the same size as these two, 160 is bs.

                Of course he did. No one else did and he was the promotor of the fight. By saying that he probably sold 10,000 ppv's.

                  Maybe after he saw what Floyd did to JMM he is a believer now. Also you have to remember Floyd was fighting a GBP fighter what is he supposed to say about JMM "oh he has no chance. We just threw him in there for a payday. Floyd is too big too fast and too strong for JMM. If you don't believe me buy the PPV please throw us a bone....Come on meng ....Lefty

                    floyd looked big... he could've been anything fron 154-160... that's a MW.

                      Anyone who is honest can just look at him on fight night and assume he was 58-60.

                      JMM got totally jobbed.
