    The speed and boxing ability make this a real uphill battle for Oscar, because guys like Sweet pea and Shane gave him trouble.

    But Floyd was rung by Corley and Judah got his attention, so I wouldn't completely write Oscar off. He does have good power in both hands.

    I think Floyd will be a big betting favorite as he should be, but Oscar doesn't have a lot to lose in taking this fight. Everyone knows he's in the twilight of his career, and a loss to the best pound for pound fighter on the planet who's in his prime isn't really something that can be held agasinst him in the long run.

    I hope it happens, because it's a fight I'd like to see.

      No, it's a great example. Oscar still won 5 rounds at least off of Sturm, and that was vs a MIDDLEWEIGHT when Oscar was obviously out of shape looking like Mario or Luigi.

      In shape, Oscar can certainly do some great damage to a 5'8'' natural jnr. welter.

        This fight represents everything we love about boxing. The most popular fighter against the best fighter. The Golden Boy vs. the Pretty Boy. Family Feuds!! And the best thing about it is, it doesn't matter who wins (Mayweather will) because either way, this is terrific stuff for the sport. This is a fight I've been dying to see for all those reasons since I heard Mayweather mention fighting Oscar in 2003. Dreams do come true, fellas.

              Floyd is too quick for oscar. He is a better boxer, has better footwork, and can adapt in the ring better then OScar.
              Floyd wins a 116-112 UD in this one.

                The additional 7 pounds will be a major factor for PBF. Don't fail to consider that this guy started four divisions lower.

                If PBF can bring his "A" game at 154 then I don't see him having problem out boxing DLH. PBF may have slowed down going up in weight but he is still faster compared to DLH. If PBF can stay on his toes for the whole 12 rounds with those additional 7 pounds, fine. But if not DLH can hurt him seriously with solid shots. DLH is naturally bigger, therefore carries much more power than PBF.

                  Floyd is so eager for the payday in this fight, he'll fight Oscar at whatever weight Oscar wants.

                    Is the payday worth a defeat? Cause if Floyd goes up to 154, he will lose

                      It's funny, because the same people claiming Floyd is going to lose if they fight at 154, is going to be coming up with all the excuses in the world try and discredit Floyd, when he wins.
