Boxing: May 2007 Archives

As fights go, it was a great event. Which is to say Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather did less fighting than marketing for their Saturday "showdown." I was a little disappointed - if not surprised - by the lack of action. But from the sound of it, most people were entertained. Some even would pay to watch a rematch.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say Floyd. I just think speed is the most important weapon in just about all sports. Sure, if Oscar catches him with a left hook, it will be over. But I think Floyd's punching power and toughness are underrated.
