Oscar Dela Hoya angling to get a rematch with Pacquiao

I don't think Pac would take a second fight with Hoya in a million years.. I can't remember the last time someone took such a one sided beating like that for 8 rounds and there was a rematch... It would do nothing for Pac to take on Oscar again... Apart from $$$, but there are plenty of money fights out... And I believe Pac from here on in would rather earn half the pay packet to fight guys who are going to add to his legacy and belt title collection, than to his wallet taking an otherwise empty fight against DLH.

DLH has nothing to offer apart from money at this point... Even a Journeyman should think twice before getting in with Oscar... He doesn't have head movement or footwork these days.. His Jab doesn't snap or have any heat on it. He isn't prepared to take a single punch to throw a combo, he was pushed backwards for most of a fight against a small guy... After all the training he did for Pac, and what he actually brought to the ring, he's much better off using energy for his business ventures... He had an incredible career, and anyone that know anything will remember that..

Oscar said before the fight that he felt dizzy after training from the weight loss. But he didnt read the warning signs. If there is a return it has to be at lightmiddle

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIf he would fight again, I'll say he fights a journeyman or someone that has had some TV exposure (like Forbes) and TOTALLY DESTROY HIM. That is, to go in there like a hungry lion and show speed with those snapping jabs he was known for, those hooks to the body and face, fast uppercuts, ring cutting, etc. And show he's got something......but this is thinking too much because not even with a guy like Forbes did he show he had something left.

So naaaaah, no more ODLH I guess.

I totally agree... he should stay retired. Oscar should consider permanently walking away from the sport while he can, with all faculties still intact. It is a blessing that he is in a position to do so by his own accord, with no undue influence, nor pressure.

Many a "great" succumb to the evils of bravado. They wake up one day to find, that the time has elapsed, when such similar situation was a "probable". And then they are now left without an out, befitting that of a "great one", and the remainder of their days wil now be filled with the feeling of betrayal and bitterness.

Yes its not Oscar's fault that he had no answer for anything Pacquiao was doing nor ability to deal with his speed.

Its his fault that he gets the trainer who trained JMM to have a blueprint to beat Pacquiao and not being able to follow through whatsoever.

A rematch should serve as nothing more then a payday for Oscar as if the first fight wasnt enough of one
