yes.
he will not play around and hits much, much harder. even with his 44 years, hes still dangerous.[/QUOTE
That’s true, but you also have to look at what Oscar is. First he hasn’t fought in like ten years. Which means he hasn’t really trained in let’s say at least nine.
Next he’s much larger around 5 11. So since he hasn’t fought in about ten years Conner is going to be able to call the shots so to speak, which against Floyd he was not able to do.
Oscar is also a big into drinking and drugs, which along with age will erode his reflex’s. Also unlike Floyd oscar was taking a lot of damage at the end of his career.
He was talking about coming back at one point to fight at I believe 160 or 168. These are estimations, I did not look them up, because I’m just trying to give reasons for my thinking. If you would like you can check and tell me how wrong I am.
So with this in mind. I would say Conners best bet is to get him to cut as much weight as he can. Being 44-45 it is going to be very hard for him and on him. Having not fought in ten years and living a wild life style, along with the weight cut, his reflex’s are most likely not anything like they used to be.
So this is my objective opinion,for favoring a 28ish active fighter.
In oscars favor is that ‘‘tis isn’t going to be the boxing pace he was used to, so he may not need to have the reflex’s he once did. I think size and power favor Oscar, but again at this stage we don’t know what he is as a fighter.
Would I bet the fight no, but until I see Oscar fight I would think these ar huge factors.
