Oscar Early or Floyd Late

Early Friday morning two of my esteemed colleagues asked me if I had put up a prediction yet. When I said no they both chided me for not having an opinion, and even though I am usually wrong, I figured I might as well throw you all my thoughts for Oscar vs. Floyd.
 
After having heard and seen everything that everyone has to say and after checking out the fighters and the camps this week I have come to the conclusion that this fight will play out one of 2 ways.
 
It appears that Oscar is going to come out guns blazing in the hopes that he catches Floyd early, if he does it could spell curtains right away for Mayweather who has never faced 154 power. Even if Floyd doesn't get KO'd right away, the devastation of the pain Oscar could inflict will ruin Floyd's gameplan and allow Oscar to move in for the early kill.
 
The chances are real good though, that Oscar will find out his 30 something legs just don't move like they used to, and that his reflexes are now just a tad off the mark. If that is true then Floyd will pick Oscar apart early, hurt him many times to the body, and in what many don't see coming, Floyd will stop Oscar in the late rounds with a left hook of his own.
 
There...I did it.
 
Please don't write to me next week and tell me I was dead wrong.
 
In fact the smart money would be on someone to go pick exactly the opposite of the scenario I just laid out...then again...stranger things have happened.
