Floyd Mayweather Junior is the best fighter whoever walked the Earth. I heard that his next fight is against Nicolay Valuev for the WBA Heavyweight championship. Again, Mayweather will winn that one too.

I think De la Hoya stands a good chance to pull it out. However, if Floyd starts just letting off pop shots and getting out (which will be a really boring fight), I think he will win. De La Hoya may not be as fast as Mayweather, but if Castillo had enough speed to land at will against Mayweather, then so does Oscar. I think Oscar is more natural at that weight and Floyd has never knocked out any elite fighter, so De la Hoya is also stronger. If Mayweather wins this fight, it will be with pure speed.

De La Hoya was a good fighter went He was
Broke & Hungry. But now He is Rich, and the
fire is gone. I am sure Mayweather will watch
the tapes of the Sugar Shane & Oscar D's
fights, and will win the fight by Decision.

over all Floyde is the better fighter...however De La Hoya has the mental advantage in this fight...I think he will train harder..also he is a vicious puncher..something floyde hasnt really faced...DeLaHoya is also fast...not as fast as Mayweather of course..but much faster then Baldamir...at least as fast as Zab Judah...but much much stronger..the other advantage Oscar will have is they are fighting at 154...de la hoya will carry that weight better..it will help his power..his left hook..i dont see it helping mayweathers power enough to make a difference..in fact it might even hurt him to the point of slowing him down... I see Oscar winning this on desicion..with one early knock down...I see vicious body work from oscar...and his jab will be enough to offset Mayweathers speed and supior overall boxing skills.

this isn't some perfect set up fight with a guy (Mayorga) who doesn't box and isn't real fast like Oscar got on a silver platter to get a title back (masterful match up by the way...)...Floyd will not stand in and try to punch with Oscar, that isn't his style anyway...he should beat Oscar easily in a decision but will occasionally get caught with a few good shots...he knows De La Hoya's bread and butter is his left hook so expect him to be right hand up at all times and circling left away from that punch after he hits and gets out...the last time Oscar fought someone who was a naturally lighter fighter with superior hand speed he got clearly beat (Shane, both times)
