The fight went as most boxing experts expected. \n\nThe puncher (Mayorga) landed a few good shots and one or two seemed to stagger De La Hoya. Another couple of those, or one _really_ good one, and the puncher might have won.\n\nThe experienced pro (Oscar) _Boxed_ the other guy. From the start, Oscar showed why he has been a dominant fighter in more than one weight class for more than a decade. He even showed power when he down Majorga in the first round. His defense against Majorga's looping rights was effective. He found the openings that almost always occur with wild punchers and he landed good shots. The short left hook counter was doing just great.\n\nI think the stoppage was a good one. Mayorga was obviously stunned in the middle of the ring when his arms dropped and he staggered back to the ropes. He was trying to counter and he was throwing his arms out to look like he was punching, but it was mostly in desparation. When Oscar landed several consecutive clean shots to the head .. that was enough .. and rightly so. \n\nI enjoyed the fight a lot.

You Know ~\n                    In my opinion, Floyd will stick and move and overwhelm the much slower Baldomir with his speed, this is why he was hand picked, it's not that Carlos is the best in his division, it's because he's slow and really doesn't have a punch, everyone wants to say "He has a chin of granite" maybe so, but wouldn't it look good on Floyd's padded record to be able to stop Baldomir?\n                  Uncle Roger being in Jail for hitting a woman won't faze Floyd, he loves to beat woman and understands that going to jail goes hand in hand with punching, kicking and pulling woman's hair out of their heads. The Mayweathers are indeed class acts.\n                  Floyd has no "Champion Heart" a "Champion" fights the very best of his/her division. A "Champion Heart" doesn't turn down six million dollars more to fight a worthy opponent. A "Champion Heart" A "Champions Heart" doesn't conduct himself/herself in a negative manner outside of the ring.\n                 I asked the Boxing Gods for a favor, that Carlos knocks Floyd on his backside and if they couldn't do this for me then let Carlos give Floyd the beating he so desperately deserves and if none of these two things can be granted then let the best MAN win, if this is the case Baldomir wins.

I'm glad you asked this question, general consensus would say Margarito...but honestly there is no one on Mayweather's level right now..De La Hoya would get embarrassed...I personally would like to see him fight Sugar Shane \n Remember he beat Baldomir with one hand which he hurt early in the fight, I noticed that before the announcers did....and he still did not lose 1 round in the fight. He didn't throw one right hand after the 6th round...y'all can hate on Mayweather but there is no one out there right now that can beat him...Period. You don't have to like him because he is an asshole, but you better respect him. UNDISPUTED..POUND FOR POUND THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD...and if you think different, then you don't know boxing....PERIOD

Mayweather vs DelaHoya without a doubt.  This is the best fight, anticipation wise, in the last 5-10 yrs.  Pac and Barrera will be good, but Barrera like Morales has been in some wars and will suffer a similar fate.  Both are great fights.  But when it comes down to these two, it is impossible to pick a bantamweight fight.

Thats a difficult one! Mayweather is v.good but has not been tested. I suppose greatness comes from when you bounce back after losing a fight.. Based on that, I think the guys like Barrera and such would be ahead of Floyd. When Floyd gets really tested and maybe loses, lets see if he can bounce back like Ali, Duran, Leonard, Hearns etc.

Spar 30 rounds with Manny Pacquiao.\n\nIf you survive, call Bob Arum or Oscar Dela Hoya and ask for a contract sheet.

I'm not sure about mosley, but hopkins is a partner, not an employee. As for the next guy that beats him, it would have to be in Oscar's best interest to be employed by him, and what could he possibly gain by "hiring" Floyd.  I don't think Floyd needs a job, anyway.

I'd love to see De La Hoya knock his az out.

Ive seen both boxers extensively in the ring but before I get to the comparison I have to explain the media circus surrounding this which is basically a classic case of good vs evil. Since this match is also on PPV, the promoters are seeing how lucrative Mayorga's shit talking is becoming, and are going to make it as dramatic as possible.\n \nDe La Hoya:\nOscar does have nearly twice the experience of Mayorga.\nOscar is highly regarded for his techinical excellence in the ring, Mayorga is known for starting wars in the ring. \nOscar is a "slow starter". He starts off very cautious until he finds his niche.\nHis speed is unmatched in the ring, yet his power leaves something to be desired.\nA smart boxer, he usually avoids repeating the same mistakes twice.\n\nMayorga:\nThere are reckless fighters and there is Mayorga, who has wide swings, often leaving himself wide open for damage.\nPlays the mental game with his opponent.\nHas a strong chin and does not go down so easily.\nUsually abandons his own safety at the risk of causing major damage.\n\n\nPredictions:\nIf Mayorga comes out swinging than it may be too much for De La Hoya to chew in the early rounds where he is still feeling out his opponent. \nTheir styles are on two opposite ends of the spectrum.\nIf De La Hoya appears unphased by Mayorgas hard punches in the early rounds than this will be an easy win for De La Hoya. If Mayorga decides to be on the attack 90 percent of this match, this could be either the worst thing to happen to De La Hoya or work out completely in his favor, all depending on how well Oscar can take a punch. If Mayorga's gonna win than he will have to go for the KO. If the fight goes all the way to a desicion, it seems unlikely that Mayorga will win on points alone.\n\nDe La Hoya is techincally a better boxer, but Mayorga is a fierce fighter with plenty of power behind his punches. \nIts a tough call but I have to go with De La Hoya only because of his experience and technical expertise. Whether he can withstand the onslaught of Mayorga's punches still remains to be seen.

Before he gets into the ring Mayweather should not give into De La Hoya's demands for the fight.  De La Hoya will tell him what weight class he wants to fight at, size of gloves he wants to use, and ring size.  In the ring he will have to move around, use angles, and not chase De La Hoya around the ring.  Plus he has to remember that De La Hoya has quick hands and power.  If he comes in good condition he should beat De La Hoya.

I'm personally a Mayweather fan and based on skills alone and not the fact that Judah is a clown but when he's focus he's dangerous, I think the Mayweather chin is better therefore he'll be able to take more shots.  Judah does have a strong punch, probably stronger than anything Mayweather has face include Castillo.  If Mayweather keeps him in the middle of the ring and not chase him around, then Mayweather wins easly.  I think Judah has to take it to Floyd, make him be on the defense more often during the fight.  It's nice to see a female boxing fan especially one who knows her stuff.  :)

Pound-for-pound? This is a tough call. Yes, Mayweather is more technically savvy and a more complete fighter than Pacquiao. He is an excellent fighter and everyone knows that already, especially those who had the misfortune of facing him inside the ring. HIs last fight was a real clinic from start to finish, with the Pretty Boy simply outclassing his strong but slow opponent and as a result, the decision was never in doubt even from round 1. On the other hand, Pacquiao's last fight showed how much he has improved through the years, from a one-dimensional, power-punching lefty to a clever, shifty two-fisted bomber. And the scary thing is that he seems to be continuing to improve some more.  There is no denying Mayweather's skill in the same way that the PacMan's power is already a given. But between the two, I would have to choose Pacquiao because of his ability to IMPROVE his game and complement his power with some slick in-ring moves. I was particularly impressed with the way he defended against a barrage of Morales' punches by leaning on the ropes, sliding quietly to his left and then, BOOM, unleashing a crunching left hook as he moved away from a stunned El Terrible. That was the move that put fear in Morales' eyes, for he just found out how much the PacMan has improved.. and it's a whole painful lot (which also says a lot about the talent and discipline of the Filipino icon). Apart from that, and from a spectator's point of view, which one do I really want to watch: an informative, deliberate boxing documentary or an edge-of-your-seat boxing suspense-thriller? Im gonna go with Pacquiao's suspense thriller, where every second in the ring counts and you absolutely have no idea when, where or how the fight's gonna end.
