It is what I want him to risk losing. But if he beats Oscar I don't think he will get the recognition that he deserves if he did it. it will be "well Oscar was well spent, and he did beat only Mayorga who has all these openings etc.." No, if Floyd beats Oscar then they will discredit it in everyway and say "Why did he fight an old Oscar instead of Margarito or hatton." He should have beaten those stylistic advantage fights to shut any naysayers up before he fights Delahoya.
Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
Excellent point, Starr. Should PBF win, he'd never be given the credit he deserves. You're right. People would say Oscar was washed up, and that PBF shoulda fought Hatton or Margarito instead.
Have a CC on me.

Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
The problem is us.
No matter what a man does...it's never enough.
I'm guilty of it. Oscar beat the shat outta Mayorga...& I wasn't that thrilled with it...I mean...sure...when I was all liquored up & shat it was great & Oscar was back on top...but the sobering aftermath was my initial thoughts...Mayorga was a chump & Oscar just cracked his head.
That's a shat way to look at it.
Floyd has blown through & ripped apart some of today's top names or second bill names that still draw recognition...but until he either fights or loses to Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, or some other up & comer who does not hold a record over worthy opponents such as the ones that Floyd has defeated...no one will be satisfied...& that is bullshat!
Bullshat!!!
Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
I've been with Floyd his whole career. What I've noticed is that people love to hate the man{or the team}. Floyd is like the NY Yankees. Everyone loves to hate him. And, if you root for him, you are a bandwagoner. No matter what he does, he will always have a target on his back. If Floyd never had any legal problems, or took to the public, like SRL, we probably wouldn't have this conversation. It's just to bad for his naysayers, that he is the best!

If Floyd could keep his A-Rod away from so many ladies he might be the next Sugar Ray Leonard ;D

Sorry, wacko can't repeat a karma action for either of you without waiting 24 hours...but I gotta agree with that on both ends.

If beating Trinidad, who came out of retirement after being brutalized, got Winky Wright the recognition, (as well as an endorsement contract with Reebok and seen as one of the best fighters in the world), trust me, Floyd will be getting the recognition for beating Oscar. sorry, but that's just the truth.
Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
No he won't. because they will use the Hatton and Margarito cards and ask why he didn't fight them. As unfair as that is. they will use comparison.
Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
Um, I think you're missing the point here. Floyd ain't the one who's announced he only has one fight left, Oscar is. Floyd can fight them after. Hatton and Margarito ain't going nowhere. Just like Taylor is available for Winky after Trinidad. What is with this "oh well um people will be mad he's not fighting Hatton or Margarito." Do you honestly believe Floyd will lose any sleep over that? Do you really think Lennox Lewis gave a flying f@ck if someone wanted to see him fight Ruiz or Byrd instead of Tyson? That's right, he didn't. You're view on this subject is completely warped.
Re: I Hate Flloyd Maywweather....
No. I just want Floyd to get full credit no matter what he decides to do.

I understand that but you have to realize, no matter what a fighter does, there will ALWAYS be haters out there. It's impossible to please everybody. If he beats all three, there will be people saying he didn't fight so and so. Marciano goes undefeated and people knock his era (even though I'm one of them :)). Point being there isn't a fighter who live who's gotten full credit from 100% of the people.

And yet heis still, reletavily young in the path he is taking.
Everyone speculates so much about him dodging opponents, but, no doubt his next opponent, is going to be a big name.
To be honest Margarito DOESNT do anything for Flloyd, only for the passionate boxing fans, Flloyds haters, and Margarito fans.
Whereas give it 2 Hatton fights, and thats going to be massive.
All of England and All of America....
Money wise if he takes Oscar, who can blame, the guy.
Take 4-5 Million at most fighting Margarito, or at least 10Mil and thats at the very least fighting one of the biggest names in boxing in Oscar De La Hoya.
Ffloyd is clever, he wants his legacy as much as anyone, but Margarito doesnt go straight to the top. He has to fight the 2nd tiers, Judah, Gatti, Corrales and then when/if he has beat them, then he deserves his chance at Flloyd.
If Castillo is so good as everyone makes him out to be, why didnt Flloyd avoid him.
And I am Flloyds biggest critic, as I dont really like him, but he cant fight everyone at once can he.....
Floyd is one of my favorites, I like his personality and dedication. A few more wins and he will be a lock for the BHOF>
come on, amigo!! floyd is ALREADY a lock for the HOF!!
