Don't be fooled or confused on May 5th!

But DLH is way past his prime, we ALL know that.

Correction. You know that. I and many others certainly do not. Oscar may be a little past his prime, but his size advantage, power advantage, and overall experience can make up for that. We saw vs Mayorga that a past-prime DLH is still pretty damn good. Being past your prime doesn't mean you are over the hill. There is a significant difference between these two things.

Oscar is still good enough to beat Floyd.

DLH-Mayweather will be like DLH-Mosley, but he will lose worse. Knowing they'lll be a fix, expect it to be tentative and slow paced

If you're expecting a competitive fight, prepare to be disappointed. Go watch DLH-Whitaker. This was prime Oscar against faded Whitaker and he struggled. Now Oscar is the older fighter fighting someone who is going to be better than Whitaker was that night. He is going to get schooled...

we'll see, oscar/pea was close... and pea might have been past prime but how faded was he? he still hadnt "really" lost when they fought... and pea was the champ and had been at that weight for a while...this is at 154 and pbf's first fight at the weight

I agree with Guru. This fight is similar to that one in some ways.

That don't really mean nothing and the fighters that they have shared Floyd looked more impressive against, but they were all older when they fought Floyd. With that said though, Oscar in his prime struggled with an old man Whitaker who was very elusive but nowhere near as quick. The speed is definitely going to be problem for him no matter what. Oscar just isn't a better fighter skills wise ever so we shall see if he can impose his will and size on Floyd and he better work on that stamina issue as well or it is going to be long night for him.

Whitaker was a southpaw and oscar moved the wrong way all night againts him.

Please don't bring up Mayorga. That guy ******. He had Forrest and that was it.

DLH has been a great force in boxing for many years. His entertainment value, talent, and ability has made him as popular and as important he is to boxing today. But DLH is way past his prime, we ALL know that. Why should DLH fight a fighter that is in his prime in PBF?

This fight happening will obscure the opinion of many boxing fans especially those who do not realize that DLH is not the fighter that he once was. Although DLH beat a overhyped one dimensional Ricardo Mayorga, he has performed poorly or has lost in 3 of his last 4 fights (lost to Mosely, did very poorly against Sturm, lost to Bhop). This being said, if and when PBF outpoints DLH, the boxing public will view him as if he was greater than DLH. When in all actuality, PBF will be fighting the 34 year old bone aching, back injured version of the once great DLH.

Don't be fooled by Mayweather beating DLH, a fight between them when they were both in their primes would be alot more competitive, and would probably end with DLH as the victor.

DLH is greater than PBF, not only because of his acomplishments, but because of his ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.

24 hours ago there were thoughts the fight might not happen and now 10 minutes later you already discredit the fight? Oscar would beat Margarita, Spinks, Cotto, Hatton and eany other contender for PBS pound-for-pound status.
