It would be a boring fight!\n\nToney is a counterpuncher!  Pretty boy would pull a De la hoya against trinidad and run!

A lot of people agree that it was Emanuel Augustus' fight with Courtney Burton. Aside of the referees calls, the decision by two of the judges for the hometown favorite was way off those of most boxing fans. The judges had it 99-90 and 97-92 for Burton and 98-94 for Augustus (most agreed with that one). The Michigan Commission was disgraced by the results and had an investigation to change things around.

Damn!  You have Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Hector 'Macho' Camacho, Meldrik Taylor...  Vitor Belfor?  Choose one.  :)

This is a fascinating bout. Two guys with arguably the best jabs in boxing today, one orthodox, one southpaw.\nWhoever lands his jab first and keeps the other guy turning, wins the fight.\nMy pick is Winky.

I just think that's De la Hoya's way of saying either you want to fight me or you don't. I don't think Floyd is a stupid man. He has to know that De la Hoya is a drawing power and he knows that Oscar holds the cards in his favor as far as negotiations go, but he has to also try to make the best deal possible for himself in the process. And i certainly agree with Lovely Lady Vette's assessment that Floyd needs De la Hoya more because Oscar's legacy is already intact, we already know that he is a great fighter who fought just about every significant fighter from 130 to 160 in his career. Floyd is trying to get where Oscar already is, but in terms of De la Hoya fighting one more fight as he has stated that he wants to do, he also needs Floyd because that's really the only fight left in his career that the public is hungry for and he knows that. Oscar is not a stupid man either. I'm not saying that a rematch with Felix Trinidad wouldn't sell, but which fight do you think the public would much rather see? I guarantee it would be against Floyd. As far as the fight itself goes, i've said all along on this forum that i think De la Hoya would be Floyd's biggest threat because he's naturally bigger and has the hand speed and ring savvy to give Floyd lots of trouble. Right now it's a pick-em fight in my opinion. And i understand that a lot of people just don't like Floyd and refuse to give him any credit for the good fighters he has already beaten, but i'll stick to my guns and say he's still the best in the sport.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come down to whether Mayweather Sr. will train Oscar or not. From what I heard, De la Hoya was injured in the fight with Ricardo Mayorga (a torn muscle in his left forearm and a slight tear of the rotator cuff) and probably won't be fighting this year at all. Whether or not he's going to go ahead and retire or wait for a final fight should be announced soon.

I think that the best possible matchup that could be put together right now is Nikolay Valuev vs Wladimir Klitschko. I realize that this may not be the most interesting fight for the American boxing fans but the truth of the matter is these two men are dominating heavyweight division at the moment and it would be great to find out  who is the best. \n\nIt may also be interesting to see a rematch between Lamon Brewster and Wladimir Klitschko but given the shape of the both fighters in recent matches I seriously doubt that there's any chance that Lamon could pull another suprise. He would most likely be dominated and completely controlled and in the end get knocked out just like Chris Byrd.\n\nI can think of one more matchup that wouldn't perhaps get so much media attention but it would be really great to see; sort of a match of the future champions and that's Samuel Peter vs Alexander Dimitrenko. Peter is one of the most powerful boxers and hardest hitters in boxing today and Dimitrenko is a very talented young Ukrainian fighter who lives and trains in Hamburg (he's trained by Fritz Sdunek). He's 6' 7 tall, very athletical and has style almost identical to Klitschko brothers. Dimitrenko is undefeated in 21 professional matches while Peter has only one loss (to W. Klitschko) in 27 fights. This would in my opinion be an outstanding matchup.

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.

Man, that is a tough question, as a boxer enthusiast, and amateur boxer myself I am really excited about the Chris Byrd Wladimir Klitschko fight.  \n\nNow, about your question, I do think Klitschko is going to easily defeat Chris Byrd, by even more than he did their first fight, and I believe that James Toney will then be the Ring Magazine number one fighter, however I believe everyone will then consider Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight to beat.  Klitschko looked great in his last fight, and will defeat Chris Byrd by unanimous decision.

Sure, Mayweather is generally accepted to be the best pound-for-pound boxer currently, yet Oscar still has a good shot to beat him, especially if Mayweather's going to move up in weight for the fight. Talk about retiring in style.\n\nThere's nothing personal between Oscar and Floyd Jr. though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem with Floyd Sr. training him. Whoever's best able to help Oscar get in shape for the fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a huge favorite going into the fight. He's not only undefeated, he's the current pound-for pound champion. Mayweather surpasses Judah in speed, skill and power. I'm not sure what Judah could do to win, but if he does it'll be a huge upset in the boxing world.

Mayweather beat Carlos Baldomir. The fight was a bigger shutout than any of the experts had predicted. The scores were 120-108, 120-108 and 118-110. Mayweather captures the WBC welterweight title with the win.\nWatched the fight and it was all Mayweather. He's just so good and can't think of anyone who could beat him right now.

Mr. Kick - I don't. Here's a defining moment for PBF and why I don't consider him great. Mayweather Jr. vs. Jose Luis Castillo I.\nHe lost that fight, showed he could be feinted and slowed down with an effective body attack, and was still given the decision. Although I don't always agree with Harold Lederman, his scoring for the HBO PPV telecast was spot on. He scored it 116-111 for Castillo. Only in Vegas. Why do you think his opponents have been hand picked since his two fights with Castillo? You know the answer.\nAnother defining moment is when he turned down 8 million to fight Margarito. Floyd is vulnerable. Floyd knows he is so badly vulnerable he's willing to turn down that kind of money to fight a hand picked opponent. I know some people are gonna say that Goosen got Floyd 8 mil to fight Baldomir but that was after Floyd and his camp cried about it. Food for thought, Arum was the one who tried to put the Margarito fight together. Guess who doesn't promote fights for Floyd anymore? Arum.\nThe fight he should take? The most realistic one out there for him is Margarito. I think Oscar is permanently retired, and could Mosley make the weight? He'd have to drop down from Jr. Middle, I guess that's possible, but not probable. Floyd would never go up to Jr. Middle to fight Shane, too tough a fight. He hasn't brought his punching power up with him as he has moved up in weight. Mosley would be too dangerous at Jr. Middle because of his hand and foot speed.

I have a P4P favorite in each weight class.  But I have to go with my boy; Miguel Cotto!  Winky Wright is also a strong candidate.  And no doubt in my mind that Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins is on top of the boxing world right now.  Floyd?  He gotta beat Oscar De La Hoya if he wants to be recognized as one of the top P4P at least in my mind.

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.

Mayweather.......it will be lopsided. The only question is if Floyd can hit hard enough or put enough accumulation of punishment on Baldomir to knock him out.
