In terms of big name and carrer definers i dont see much at 154, so can anybody see him going back middleweight? I just cant see who he is going to fight, what do you think?

Probably some guy dressed in drag at a hotel.

The thread is about Oscar De la Hoya, not Saddo....

It has to be Hatton or Cotto.

If Hatton beats Mayweather then its a no brainer for Oscar.

If Mosley beats Cotto convincingly, Oscar won't go near Cotto and will probably still fight Hatton in England even if Mayweather hands Ricky his ass.

So nobody likes my DLH-Quartey II idea?

It'd be a good fight but i dont think Ike has the drawing power that DLH would be after. Any chance DLH fights someone for an alphabet at 168 to try and win another title in another division? Fulgencio Zuniga is the IBO SMW champ. Any chance Oscar goes after him

Or Lansana Diallo for the WBF championship.......

Oscar isn't going to get out of his high heels (ha ha) for anything but marquee HUGE fights. Having said that, I don't think he wants to hurt himself fighting Cotto, so I don't know who he would fight. Perhaps Hatton. Hairdoo hits it right on the head.

Quartey or Forrest would both beat him at this point, and there is no money involved. Oscar will avoid Winky like he was a leper so that isnt an option either.

But because boxing is so unjust, we will probably get Zab-ODLH and Ruiz-Rachman undercard.
