De La Hoya-Mayweather On For May 5

[Rockin']

D 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. TKO.

Floyd will be way faster than Delahoya, he will never match Floyds speed unless Floyd grows tired.

I like your point of the stamina, Floyd will need to move more weight around that ring. But again Im sure thats been long covered in camp........Rockin'

I think this is gonna be a great fight! I see Oscar winning by late round TKO. His strength will be too much for PBF in the late rounds. I would give the nod to PBF IF this were taking place at 147, I think he's biting off a bit too much though. BTW-Floyd claims he is going to retire after this fight unless there is a rematch w/ DLH, DLH claims retirement is nowhere in sight!

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

I'm sure it will, lmao.

As for the fight

If Floyd's speed is still bounds ahead of DLH's Floyd will win. I don't think Oscar is the fighter he once was, and Floyd knows he can't fight the same way with Oscar as he did with Baldomir. He beat Baldomir easily. Just because he potshotted in that fight doesn't mean he won't throw combinations. Everyone's basing everything just from that last fight. If Floyd gets caught with something he's gonna get on the ropes and block and shoulder roll or he will retreat. His balance is great.

NO WAY IN HELL DOES OSCAR KNOCK MAYWEATHER OUT.

Everyone was talking big about Baldomir's strength. Strength won't be a factor. Floyd sparred with super middleweights for Baldomir. Oscar isn't Marvin Hagler.

[AintGottaClue]

Oscar left hook + floyds chin= KO win for oscar to add more to his already HOF career

Some of you are talking about DLH as if he is the hardest hitting junior middleweight in the world.

And who says that left hook is gonna land, Floyd won't be standing right in front of Oscar. He won't brawl like Mayorga did.

OSCAR AIN'T KOING CRAP.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather have come to terms for a pay-per-view mega-bout to take place on May 5, 2007. The agreement was reached late Monday afternoon.

The event will be promoted by De La Hoya's promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions. De La Hoya is rumored to be making over $20 million for the bout, while Mayweather is said to be making over $10 million. The exact split of the fight is unknown.
