Is ODLH-Forbes a preparation for PAC-ODLH?

[XaduBoxer]

PAC would never be so stupid as to go up to an untested weight against a guy who can make all of the decisions in the negotiations and will balloon up to 160 on fight night.

PAC knows better than that.

If PAC will be successful against David Diaz, his possible next BIG fight will be:

1. Campbell at 135 - for the lightweight undisputed unification fight

2. Hatton at 140 - for PAC's 4th world title in 4 weight division (even if it's only the IBO belt). It is also for "3 titles in 3 weight division in 1 year" achievement.

3. DelaHoya at 147 - purely for the HUGE money

.

Slow down man, what is PAC's walking around weighT?

They say 155 to 160... The highest PAC weight inside the ring is 149 (or is it 145?) in his last fight against JMM...

This will/should not happen.This would be a meaningless "Name" event and have no relevancy what so ever.Credit to the Diva though.....at least he is doing his circus act promoting in the boxing ring with a former, albit stretched out, Former Champion.As opposed to a wrestling ring

I agree ODLH-Forbes has no meaning at all to the boxing world... But for Oscar, why he has to sacrifice going down to 147 for this meaningless fight?

.

High Reward........Low risk.This is like a giant Commercial for The Mayweather/DelaHypa build up.Gets us talking right?Oscar will be sitting at Jr.Middle when the bell rings.I hope the stars aline and hell freezes over and we see the "Afterthought" Forbes out hustle and pull off the upset.Not likely though.

By knocking out Forbes at 147, Dela Hoya showed he can KO PBF at 147 ?

Hope it's ODLH who will be KO'd this weekend... Payback for giving us this meaningless fight...

Oscar Dela Hoya has to make weight at 147 lbs. tomorrow for his fight with Steve Forbes this weekend. Is this a preparation for a possible showdown with Pacquiao at 147 down the road?

Forbes is a former super featherweight champ, PAC is a current super featherweight champ and will be jumping to lightweight in his next fight...

ODLH has PAC as a backup fight in case ODLH-PBF in September can't be made due to PBF's high demands...

ODLH has been fighting at 154 for a long time now and why is he sacrificing to fight at 147 against a relatively unknown boxer? Is Oscar preparing himself for a mega showdown with PAC?

.

This is like believing that the movie Lord Of the ring is real.
This is pure fantasy. THis fights doesn't make sense what so ever

It's like saying. Floyd will be fighting RJJ

[SweetPea]

Since when is DLH-Forbes at 147? I thought it was a 150 catchweight.

Now that i would of loved to see, back in the old days of RJJ fighting at 160, he could of dropped to 154, floyd could of ballooned much quicker than expected.......

oh who am i kidding

For the record if pac ever decides to fight at 147 i like most boxing marks will completely disown the man as it would be for nothing more than to make a few extra mill to his already bulging bank account

Many PAc a 147 is like an elementary school kid picking a fight with the Hight school kids.

PAC and ODLH side by side ...

INthat picture. One of Oscar's legs weights more than manny

Exactly, ODLH vs Forbes has as much meaning as Cotto vs Gomez, I agree. The only difference is that people hate ODLH so whatever he does is just unacceptable.

Pacstraight,
Wouldn't you want to see ODLH vs Pac?

At least Cotto was fighting a bigger guy... ODLH will be fighting a smaller guy...

Both not really being a nightmarish threat AT ALL. Why root for Cotto's desicion to take that fight but not ODLH?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Yes, next he'll be fighting Chris John

latest is freddy roach wants oscar for pacquiao.

Roach to Bob Arum: "We're missing the boat!" Pacquiao wants De La Hoya!

[XaduBoxer]

Dela Hoya weigh in at 150 lbs. in his last 2 fights... Maybe he's ready to make 147 for a December Pacquiao fight.
