Re: This is why Delahoya-PBF will never happen

The marketability of Trinidad - ODLH depends on the result of Winky-Taylor.

If Winky schools Jermain, you can honestly say hes just that good and theres still a chance Trinidad can show us some magic against someone like Oscar.

He's a much greater fighter than Tito, but Tito's a much bigger draw.

It's all about timing. Tito no longer has any belts, he was beaten soundly into retirement again by Winky.

Look at Bernard and Roy Jones, p4p at the very top of the tree a year or so ago now because they have lost and are no longer champions nobody cares about them.

Boxing is a fickle world and I can't see in a million years that a DLH Trinidad fight right now would do more PPV's than Oscar PPB.

Floyd is the man right now, so if Oscar is going to fight someone for a massive PPV bout he would have to fight Floyd.

If Oscar beats Mayorga and looks good in the process and Mayweather Del La Hoya bout would be huge. Probably not as big as Oscar Trinidad 1 but certainly bigger than Oscar Trinidad 2 could ever be.

IF Oscar beats Mayorga, evryone is expecting him to fight Floyd, he wants to retire on top then the logical choice is floyd, he gains nothing by fighting Trinidad, if he fights floyd and some how wins(I doubt he beats Floyd)he will have made a huge impact on his legacy going out on top, by beating a #1 p4p undefeated 4 time world champ.

It would be a fantastic end to his career for sure. He would jump straight into the top 10 greatest p4p fighters of all time.

Shame it's never going to happpen!

Did you just say Delahoya would be in the top 10 all time?

We'll just pretend you never said that.

I remember you. Refresh my memeory, though. What was our deal? If Delahoya loses, I must put up a post fully acknowledging that I was wrong, correct?

Oh it was you?

I don't think we had a deal, just post in the new boycott thread that you were wrong and the masterpiece was right nad I'll do the same if the fight is bad.

Re: This is why Delahoya-PBF will never happen

It was me, Masterpiece. And I will keep my word and acknowledge I'm wrong should Mayorga win. . . . . But he won't, so get ready to eat your words.

Will you be joining us in our boycott tonight, or do you have 50 bucks to flush down the toilet?

Its not like he has no chance, naturally now oscar is a borderline natural 147/154 he lies somewhere inbetween. Thats a small tick in the ODLH box. It all depends on his performance against ricardo. It's hard to envisage him being little more than a shadow of his former self.

That's right. Reason why it won't happen is because he is not gonna get past Mayorga!

Too bad Oscar can't beat him. Oscar says he wants to fight the best, but he knows he'll lose to Floyd. I think the only way Oscar fights Floyd is if he can sign him {promoter} for a long contract. Oscar isn't dumb, and won't take a loss without gaining something in return.

And for the record, I don't want to see Floyd lose, just all the haters do. Floyd forever!

I have to say that you were right like I told you in PMs.
