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.

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.

Don't know "who's" going to win, but I sure hope it's De La Hoya!
