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.
There are no fights 15 rounds anymore! That stopped in the 80s.

It has got to be De La Hoya. He is going to be about 10 pounds heavier then Mayweather at the time of the bout. All De La Hoya has to do is keep him away with his right jab and when he gets close BAMB...left hook...goodnight Floyd Mayweather.

DelaToya is going to lose to Mayweather.
everyone knows Oscar is a chump. Every1 knows he was beaten by Felix Strum and yet the gave him the fight. And ever1 remembers the beating he took against Bernard Hopkins.
De La Toya needs to retire for good. Can you say Roger Clemens?

this is going to be one great fight! it reminds me of some of the 70s boxing matchs w sugar ray leonard... my heart says de la hoya... but whitaker is also great, he has the youth and stamina, yet de la hoya, has more expierence, more power, so i say 15 rounds either split decision for oscar, or a draw,,, imagine the next amount of $$$ if its a draw!
