Personally I dont want to see Oscar in any more high profile fights but if he were to get a shot at Tony would you be pissed of or would you look forward to it ? It would be a great send off if he won but I think Tony would have too much for him.

It would be a good way for ODLH to finish his career, especially if he won but I think the risks for him are too great so he'll take Pacman, an easier fight for less money
De La Hoya doesn't "get a shot" at anyone, his opponents get the shot at him. And I'd hope anyone who likes to watch boxing would look forward to the fight if it were to happen.
After all , IMO Margaro deserve the Shot , probably doesnt represent the Purse that Oscar would want , but Oscar before commented that would like to face the winner between both , so now is avoiding this shot ....
I'm not an OScar fan but with Oscar Size and smarts he will outbox Margo.Quote:

Oscar just have to do what he did to Tito. in the first half of the rounds.
What world are you from? Oscar getting "a shot at Tony". Tony would give up first born for a shot at the Golden Boy. Because everyone who follows boxing knows that a fight with Oscar will be the biggest pay check in your entire career.Quote:

Marg has earned the right to fight Oscar and it probably will be at light middle where at least it will be more competitive. Marg still wins as Oscar will gas out, he is not seasoned and active anymore.
That's pretty much the way it isQuote:

IMO it's the only real fight DLH can make, all this talk of DLH V Pac is BS, give us a real fight! DLH V Margarito...bring it on Oscar if you dare!
No offence but I think that he means Oscar getting a shot at Margs WW title.Quote:

rjj tszyu you normally talk sense but can you honestly see Oscar kill himself to make 147lb and then take on and beat a seasoned Marg who has just stopped Cintron and Cotto. No chance, 7 years ago yes but not now!
I hope De La Hoya fights Margarito cos at least then he is picking on someone his own size and will get chinned.
Talks of a fight with Pacman are just a cynical joke.
It would be a great fight. Margarito has definitely earned it.
In the end, it's all up to the Golden Boy... And, unfortunately, it looks like an easy decision:
1) fight the top active Welterweight. If he wins, he gets massive respect and glory. If he loses, then he ends on a bad note and will grudgingly pass the torch to Margarito [the torch he earned by beating JCC ;) ].
or
2) fight the #1 p4p fighter in the sport. If he wins and he 99.9% probably will win, then he gets an easy victory, way more money than Marg, lots of media attention, lots of attention from the casual boxing fan. The only question is how will the casual fan react once they see the size difference in the ring on fight night?
I know what your saying master but Oscar weighed in at 150 for his last fight. Ok he didn't look great but he made it and never looked in trouble. He IMO can only look better as he shrinks his body back down slowly. And finally yes I can see him beating Marg as long as he boxes him for the full 12 rounds and doesn't try to go out on some macho hispanic note.Quote:

Agreed...Oscar should have used his last fight as a send off.Quote:

It's not about people being pissed if he took that fight but people would be pissed if he won. Just look at how much people dislike him here and then imagine if he won. This place would be as sour as when Cotto got a beating and people would be looking for excuses on why he won "Tony was having sentimental problems...Tony was not feeling good...".
Plopeater,
Less money with Pac. No, it’s the other way around and same reason why Mayweather didn't fight him. Tony doesn't bring as much money to the table compared to Pac. Pac and ODLH can bring lots of dough.

If Oscar still has the speed he did back then of course it would be a good strategy. I am not saying he is as slow as a slug but he is just not as quick as before.

JCC passing the torch to ODLH is different in this case. I just don't see Margo offering the same as ODLH in all aspects: boxing skills and media attention.
