Oscar can't box with Floyd.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Floyd is just way too elusive.

Oscar is a great fighter and I've always praised him, but this is a bad matchup. If people actually thought the Whittaker fight was close, and Oscar didin't deserve that victory:

Wait untill they watch Oscar v.s. Floyd.

I agree.
The whole bullying stuff would've worked if Floyd had no defense toe to toe, but he does.

Floyd's quickness is already slowing up. It was noticeably worse vs Mitchell and Judah at 147. Oscar is way more disciplined than those guys. Sure, it would be a bad idea possibly for Oscar to box with Floyd...but Floyd likes to get cute with his defense and stay in the pocket. If he does that, Oscar will hurt him bad. Floyd is not as awkward or defensive-minded as Pernell was. Floyd is more offensive than ever with Roger is his corner as opposed to Floyd Sr.

This would be a good fight. I think PBF out works DLH for a UD. DLH has a power advantage but PBF will work the outside and limit DLH to fight his fight.

At points in the Mayorga fight, Oscar was caught flat footed.

Of course he dominated the fight, but there were two occasions that I remember Mayorga using a lead tactic to land punches.

Like I've stated.

Floyd will do that all night long. He'll just go back outside, land more lead punches etc.

Oscar will go to Floyds body early and often , this is how he I see it. Good point though on Oscars stamina...he tends to fade in the later rounds.

When Floyd leans on the ropes with his shoulder rolls and counterpunching look for Oscar to viciously attack the body.

Oscar ain't Castillo, but he sure is a hell of a lot stronger as well as bigger. If Oscar can get to Floyd like Jose did, Floyd will not win this fight. As far as Floyd landing goes...his brittle hands will not dent Oscar.

Absolutely not.

Mitchell and Judah are very fast, they're southpaws and In both those fights he was the aggressor. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why he looked a bit slower and got caught with more punches than usual. What you say could be true too, the added weight could've slowed him down a little, but the fact that those are two fast southpaws could also be the reason.

Oscar playing the aggressor like Castillo did is trying something he's never done before. If he goes into the fight with that as his plan (despite having Floyd Mayweather Sr. a guy who claims to know PBF's style like the back of his hand) It'll be an easy night for Floyd. He should use his jab and try to expose Floyd's flaws. Going in wreckless may seem like the most logical way to beat Floyd Mayweather, but what happens when Oscar gets tired?

Like I said...Floyd will have taken too much heat himself to make Oscar pay for being tired. Oscar has played aggressor before, and I'm sure he can adapt when he needs too. He was hella aggressive vs Sturm.
