Thread: Names mentioned for Oscar's first fight of the year:Forbes,Paulie and Salita

Check out the article at boxing scene.

"The selection of De La Hoya's opponent will come down to money. Because the fight will be televised on regular HBO, and not pay-per-view, Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has already made it clear that none of the proposed names should expect to receive the kind of money that is usually given to De La Hoya's pay-per-view opponents. The fighter willing to accept the least amount of money, will probably end up with the fight."

Who should it be?Didnt he spar with Forbes for the first fight?

Wow. Oscar is really just trying to get ANY win.

No he didnt spar forbes for the first fight

It was that in the lead up to the first fight with Mayweather one of his sparring partners was francisco bojado who was training for forbes..

Forbes is long past his best and even at his best was not good enough for DLH even a faded DLH...and what about the size difference...Forbes is no natural 154 or 147lbr...yes he has quite a few fights there but not against anyone elite and he is a small 147lbr......not too mention DLH is now really a 154lbr....

Malignaggi though he looked bad in his last fight if he comes in 100% prepared he will run DLH around the ring ragged...make DLH look like a fool...Paulie is not PBF where he will counter off the ropes and allow Oscar thje chance to at least throw shots....

Salita....He should be ashamed of himself...Salita is a good fighter but not ready for a big bout like that...

I am inclined to agree

I agree it does sound very ridiculous..

I mean .. Fuckk sake.. Three names and three light welterweights...

Thats just strait up...

Pussy.. For lack of a better phrase..LOL Damn Oscar..

Surprised JLC's name didn't come up.

Not impressed. What about Cintron ?

So, he's going to drop down to 147 and fight these guys If not, he's basically saying I'll fight whoever is willing to put on 14 lbs, and accept the least money of anyone to ever fight me. Gee, this should be really interesting. What a bitch.

I'm so so so glad you guys have you eyes opened. Oscar is going to move to 147,most likely because he lost the first fight and Mayweather is more of a name now so he can call the shots. Ho weight drained is Oscar going to be,I mean he must walk around at quite a high weight right?Anyone know?

I would guess, that he wouldn't even dream of making the weight if he wasn't positive he could do it without being weight drained. A guy with his money and lifestyle wouldn't strike me as someone who would go through hell to make weight, I know I'd far sooner retire than kill myself at an old age when I'm sitting on hundreds of millions..

I disagree. We know that Oscar loves challenges and we know he loves attention,combine the 2 and I think he's going to make 147,regardless of what effect it has. A Floyd rematch is too much a big oppertunity of $$$ making to miss out on and now Floyd has more leverage,Oscar's making 147,regardless of how hard it is to make weight.

Exactly! To hype the rematch and say,oh I beat a slick boxer.Calling these guys from 140 to fight at 147! These guys!! I mean he could at least have gotten a Judah or someone legit at 147!

Yeah but if he wasn't sure he'd have the same vitality at 147, he could have easily just planned on the rematch taking place at the same weight as the first time, and got a bigger guy to fight as a tune up.. I think people are overestamating Mayweather's ability to dictate terms in the rematch. It will still be a golden boy promotion, and Oscar will make sure he doesn't give anything away imo. I would honestly be surprised to see Mayweather even make 50% of the purse, though logically he should demand more...Half is still so much more than he'll get fighting anyone else, and Oscar knows that. People are paying to see him more than Floyd, and that matters more than who won the first fight imo. I think that if he is planning to make WW, he must believe that he can actually be better there. For the first fight he trained in Puerto Rico instead of Big bear with altitude as he usually does.. Maybe he's just setting this goal for himself to get in the best condition he can.. Because I doubt we saw that in the first fight.

That's just fucking ludicrous.It sure as shit should not be Steve Forbes,What a consession prize for that s!!! robbery Vs.D.Hopkins.?I Like Forbes but he better bring a stun-gun and some platform shoes.
This is the early stages of a creation for the much in demand Rematch with Mayweather.....cough.Sorry,cant hold back on this,Oscar needs to step the fuck aside and let the men do the fighting,He is a overhyped,overpayed and arrogant Diva that prances around his own stable with guys he's involved with (no pun intended) throwing them scraps.It really smells bad the cross dressing,promoting /fighting.A farking glutinous king living in an Ivory tower.The sad thing is he knows it will bank.
When they fight,and it will be constructed and carfully scripted that they will, I will be rooting for Mayweather ( ) to crumble his ass up like dirty laundry and show him the door.Glamour boy who loves his own reflection way to much these days. Pardon the rant,need coffee
