Thread: Is ODLH-Forbes a preparation for PAC-ODLH?

    Default Is ODLH-Forbes a preparation for PAC-ODLH?

    Oscar Dela Hoya has to make weight at 150 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 150 against a relatively unknown boxer? Is Oscar preparing himself for a mega showdown with PAC?

    You mean in case PBF doesn't want to make another $20,000,000.00 (847,256,710.25 Phillippine Peso's)
    I seriously doubt it.

    If this is not a preparation for PAC-ODLH, is this a preparation for ODLH-Cotto?

    ODLH needs a KO to boost his standing in boxing back up with the general public, that would be difficult against any of the people at 154.

    What I mean is, Oscar is showing to PBF that he can make 147 and he has a lot of options besides PBF (PAC-ODLH, Cotto-ODLH or maybe Hatton-ODLH). This will prevent PBF from asking too much in their planned September rematch...

    A KO against a small unknown boxer (Forbes) has no meaning at all...

    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.

    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

    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

    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?

    Hmm could it be for PBF's WBC 147 lb. title?
