Mainweather? I can't stop laughing!
This fight looks like it will turn out like PBF's last fight against Carlos Baldomir. De La Hoya will look to land his left hook for 12 rounds while PBF rolls away from Golden Boy's power shots and throws counter punch combos. I hate to say it but Mayweather is going to win a BORING 12 round decision.
I'd rather see De La Hoya win by a late round KO, but that will only happen if Oscar can land that left.

Pernell Whitaker gave De La Hoya Hell while De La Hoya was young and unbeaten. Many think Whitaker lost due to a bad judges' decision. Whitaker was an old worn out (sorry to say this about him) coke head at the time of the fight. But it was his style that De La Hoya could not handle. But Pernell didn't land as many shots and few hard shots. A guy came along with a similar style, who could hit named Shane Mosley. Shane Mosley as we all know beat De La Hoya. De La Hoya had a chance to adjust and rematch, he lost again. He just can't beat that particular style. Is De La Hoya an all time great? Hell yeah he is. But you have to face facts, Mayweather has a similar style to that of Whitaker and Mosley, the question is, can he throw enough punches to win. I say "Yes he can". I don't think there will be a KO, but I believe Mayweather will take a unanimous decision. And in my opinion, De La Hoya hasn't beaten a big name since 2002 versus Fernando Vargas. 5 years is a long time, especially in boxing. I predict Mayweather in 12, then Golden Boy Promotions will try to sign him into their stable of fighters.

I'm a big De la hoya fan iv been watching boxing all my life. a lot of people are saying De la hoya is past it, i admit hes not as young as he once was but he is far from past it, a big part of De la hoyas game plan is to get in to a fighters head so they are not thinking like they should be on the night, i take nothing away from mainweather there is no denying his skill and speed and his ability to talk a good fight, i don't think mainweather has ever come across a microphone or camera he did not like, De la hoya will talk trash knowing mainweather will get upset about it and lose his cool. for De la hoya this is good because for him he has won half the fight be for they have even got in to the ring. this never happens to De la hoya because he stays away from the media be for anty fight so such things do not happen to him hes a very smart man. i will have to go with De la hoya on this one. the winner will face Ricky hatton and if its De la hoya or mainweather they will get there *** kicked big time Ricky hatton is made of steel

I think Mayweather has too much hand speed for De Le Hoya, who's not as fast as he used to be. So I'm predicting Mayweather by a unanimous decision.

I hope De La Hoya will win, but it will be hard for him if he let the fight to reach the 6th round. Maywather is in his weight, De La Hoya lost weight to reach Maywether, so that may affects his performance.
