ODLH vs JC Chavez jr.?...Iiiiiiiiiii dunno

I was reading a blog from Dan Rafael at ESPN.com and it talks quite nice about ODLH. It's a bit refreshing to read a boxing expert finally saying something positive about ODLH after everybody throws all kinds of crap at him. But he mentions a possibility of ODLH facing JC Chavez Jr. before really calling it quits.

If his fight against Pac AT LEAST finished with a questionable desicion then maybe I could imagine seeing him fight one more time but he showed that he just didn’t have it anymore. Even if he fought a total journeyman I can see him going through the same path Tyson went through on his las 2 or 3 fights.
Before, people thought Oscar would totally walk over JC Chavez Jr., how about now? After seeing how he didn't throw punches in his last fight, no lateral movements, no cutting the corners, no speed, no left hook, NO NOTHING then I am not so sure about him facing Chavez Jr. or ANYBODY out there.
Please Oscar, no more fights. Your admirable accomplishments are already HARD TO BEAT. I can't see any boxer out there coming close to accomplishing all you did. Let's leave it like that.

If he fights again it'll be at 154+lbs and he'll say at 147 he was too weak, too drained. A fight with Chavez Jr would thrust him into the spotlight and Golden Boy would either become his promoter or promote his next few fights. I'd much rather see Chavez Jr fight Ronnie Hearns.

Killface,
I always find it interesting to see Jrs facing each other with their fathers at the corner :cool:.

Chavez Jr. beating ODLH would not only be a career builder, regardles of ODLH being passed his prime, but also some sort of redemption for Chavez Sr. And if ODLH beat Chavez Jr., oh man, wouldn't that be painful for not only his father but also lots of Mexican fans hahaha! ODLH beating father and son, just doesn't sound right hahaha!

Aside from going out on a win, what does ODH have to gain from this fight? His legacy is secure (despite what some people might think) - he is, or should be, well respected for always wanting to fight the best. He's a multi-division champ, etc., etc. Losing to Chavez Jr. would only tarnish the end of his great career.

Aside from his name, Chavez Jr. brings nothing to the table.

ODH should retire.

Oscar looked shot against pac. but i think it could be different against JCC jr. i doubt this will happen anyway

i think oscar beats jr. jr will be there to be hit but he will have a good payday as consolation.

it's always nice to go out on a winning note.

I think he should make sure he is shot, and fight JCC Jr. He should let himself get turned into burger meat at the hands of Jr. The reason being he has been accused of taking advantage of an aging legend when he beat Sr. He should do to Jr. what Sr. did for Oscar, and that is be his catapult to stardom. He had a chance against Manny to prove all his naysayers wrong, and prove he was a warrior, but instead he quit on his stool without going to the canvass in the fight. He can win over all the Mexican boxing fans who don't like him for what he did to JCC, and because they don't think he is a Mexican warrior. I think he could change some of their minds with a big loss to JCC where he actually fights through a little blood.

Ky7le,
The story could help a bit to sell the fight. I mean, ODLH beating an old Chavez Sr. and then have a young Chavez Jr. face an old ODLH, eh? Heheheh!

CHF,
That's right. I don't see how fighting Chavez Jr would do him any good.

Kingfrnk,
He did look shot, worned out, drained, past his prime, etc. Not sure how he would look against Chavez Jr. Chavez Sr. has mentioned in past interviews that he would like to have ODLH face Chavez Jr.

Kkisser,
Always good to leave with a victory and maybe ODLH was expecting that vs Pac. Went pretty bad.

If ODLH can't beat JC Jr then god help him is all i'll say.

i dont think anybody really wanna see oscar in with anyone anymore, not after what pac did to him.

jcc jr will get ko'ed by someone unknown sooner or later, oscar doing it to him wont help mexico at all.

I know. People had their doubts with Oscar since the Forbes fight or even before as it was clear that he was past his prime. I am all for ODLH but I just wouldn't want to see him in the ring again after seeing how rusty he looked in his last fight, even against Forbes.

Sure, I can see JCC Jr. loosing anytime. I wish the people around him put him in the amateurs first, have some olympic exposure, etc. And Oscar beating him just won't earn him any fans with Mexico:rolleyes:. Imagine, ODLH beating both father and son, ouch!

I think it's not a bad idea. Chavez Jr. hasn't been in with a big name yet and what better name than the guy that retired his father. I think Oscar can win this one. 154 is a different story, I think 147 did it's damage on Oscar.

Two words . . . .Who cares?

I wouldn't want to see this at all. I don't really know what either would gain from this. . .ok, nineteen words.

Anybody beating an old worned out big name passed his prime is a great way to build their resumes and look like the greatest thing out there so it would be quite good for Chavez Jr:rolleyes:.

I would love to see Jnr beat ODH, as long as it is on free. A farewell fight for all the poor people who cannot view the high prices of PPV. :)
