De La Hoya-Mayweather On For May 5

[deliveryman]

Haha.
Baldomir the most dangerous man at 147? Hahaha. How many knockouts does he have again?
And Zab? Zab's a great welterweight.......for 3-5 rounds.

The most dangerous welterweight's are Margarito and Williams. Both of those beat Baldomir EASILY and I believe Antonio knocks Zab out.

And 140, there were better opponents than Chop-Chop and Gatti. period.

I agree, too bad they didn't want to fight Floyd, though.

I agree, too bad they didn't want to fight Floyd, though.

I have to agree as well.
It takes two to make a fight. I thought Hatton would have gaven him a good one, Cotto I wasn't so sure about.

And at 140, I see Floyd as almost unstoppable.
But not at 147, and no way in hell at 154.

[ReadyUp]

Is this based on his wins over great fighters such as Hercules Kyvelos, Sebastian Lujan, and ******* Gomez? Margarito and Williams are nothing but hype right now...

Both Margarito and Williams can do what would make Floyd most uncomfortable.

IMPOSE THEIR SIZE.

And don't tell me Baldomir was supposed to do that because I knew for a fact that Tata would only follow Floyd around.

If you don't think that Margarito and Williams wouldn't attempt to get on Floyds ass and go for broke then your crazy.

And by the way, Floyd wouldn't have the punch to hold Margarito off, Williams...maybe.

Delahoya I believe will just be too big ans strong. Floyd has some fast hands and moves but will not be able to keep Oscar from walking in when he wants to. Floyd will play the stay away game to finish the fight but lose on the cards. Oscars just too big and skilled for him..............Rockin'

[Ringo]

Haha. Sweet fight. Oscar by KO in 6.

That is what plays out in my head also but Dela hasnt faced any good fighters lately so I dont know if all of his reflexes are still there.

Boxingscene is going to crash during the round by round for this fight.

[grayfist]

I too think Oscar will be just too big and, having had five fights at 154 to PBF's none, will be the one who shall be much more comfortable at that weight. He'll have to be very, very fit to go after a very slippery Mayweather, though.

[SoCaL_951]

DeLaHoya's advantages are his height, reach, strength, power, great chin and has fast hand speed but not like Floyd's. Floyd's has the better technique, all around boxing skills (offense and defense), hand and foot speed, and probably the smarter fighter. I see a good chess match for the first half of the fight, in the second half the fighter that imposes his gameplan over the other will take the fight, very similar to the first Oscar/Shane fight. Oscar cannot afford to lose his stamina in the late rounds as has in the past, and Floyd cannot afford to hurt his brittle hands like he does so often. Floyd has never fought at 154 so we dont know how the weight will affect his stamina or speed, my guess is Oscar could match him in speed in the early rounds. If he catches Floyd like Judah did early on Oscar could stop him since he's a better finisher. I like Oscar by late rds. TKO.

His reflexes might not have been there when he entered camp but you must believe that his handlers set up some speed demon sparring partners for him, I think he will be ready for the speed......................Rockin'
