De La Hoya: "I Want To Fight Twice in 2008"

[Tito BHB]

I'd like to see Oscar fight Vernon Forrest at 154.

as for 147..............

I think Mayweather would win in a more decisive fashion the 2nd time around.

Oscar would knock Cotto out.

Oscar would knock Margarito out real bad.

Paul Williams would earn a decision.

Cintron would lose a unanimous decision.

If Zab Judah had a couple tune ups first, he'd beat Oscar.





That's how I see things for Oscar at 147

Stop fooling yourself and being so over protective just because Floyd beat Oscar and you think want to believe Oscar is still at his best. He's not. End of. He's a part time fighter.If that. His recent record has been poor. Your predictions there look awful.

Oh please. Oscar doesnt deserve anything. The only fighter he has beaten in years is Mayorga.

Exactly.CC old man.

i don't see why not, he gave Mayweather a fight worthy of getting a rematch, and also i think he'd beat Hatton, so both fights seem ok

Oscar don't deserve to fight winner of Mayweather vs Hatton just look at his record in past 4 years 2 wins and 3 losses i would like winner of Hatton vs Mayweather to fight winner of Cotto vs Mosley.

EXACTLY.CC.

We need to see these young lions go at it. The winner of those fights should fight each other. Oscar should have to work to get another chance just like everyone else.

Judah gets beat by Baldomir, and gets a fight with Mayweather right after, looses that fight horribly and then gets suspended, doesn't win his comeback fight (it's a NC), and get a WBA welterweight fight against Cotto which he also looses horribly, and then is suposingly gonna get a fight with Margarito? also B-Hop lost 2 back to back against Taylor (although i thought he won the rematch and the first was a draw) and gets a crack at then lightheavyweight champion Antonio Tarver, so whats the prob about De La Hoya getting a shot at the winner, when none of his losses have been lopsided?

Judah was in the fight nicely in the early stages if you ask me

[Tito BHB]

mayweather fight that is

[The Rookie Fan]

I think Oscar better be careful or he's gonna get his a** really beat for the first time in his career. He can't keep this up forever and we all saw what happend to the great Jones Jr after coming back down in weight.

I don't think he can beat Maywether.

Margarito and Williams work rate will be real hard for Oscar to keep up with as the fight gets to the championship rounds

Cotto and Mosley pressure and hard punching will give him hell.

And even Cintron with Tito-like punching power might put that a** in the canvas. Though he is the weakest link in this division and Oscar should beat him.

[ElTerribleMorales]

Cintron's power is nowhere close to Tito's sorry, and IMO De La Hoya has enough to compete with any of the top welter's, i'd go as far as to say that he has just as much left as Mosley

[LEGION]

Lol, Judah would get holes blown through him by Oscar, what a joke. Judah always looks good at 1st then goes into Disneyland and stands around getting beat up. Oscar would ruin that guy, if Cotto already hasn't. Oscar has a couple good fights left in him. I would like to see Oscar and Cotto myself, though I see a repeat of Oscar/Chavez even though Oscar's getting "old" now. Him and Margarito would be fun, as would Williams. No comment on Cintron

So let me get this straight Cotto would get knocked out by Oscar but Judah would beat Oscar are you kidding me ??

Judah was pimping Cotto real bad until Cotto went on a low blow and elbows frenzy.

Oh please Judah landed few good shots at start but he always does just like Judah hurt Kostya and he started well against Mayweather aswell but typical of Judah he couldn't keep it up nothing to do with low blows its just Cotto was too aggressive and Judah couldn't handle the pressure and Judah took one hell of a beating so just because he started well like he always does this means he can beat Oscar ??

Even Cotto's own mother knows those low blows were intentional and he threw them to save his ass because he was about to get knocked out real bad. Its absurd to say that Cotto was just being aggressive.

As for Delahoya vs. Judah............. I said if Zab gets a couple tune up fights in against a couple journeymen (Margarito would be perfect) then he beats Oscar, but if they fought today, Delahoya by decision.

[NuthaPug]

I really don't think he could hang in the 147 division with his current condition. He's best just collecting paydays while he still can against known walkthroughs and then just retiring.

Collecting paydays ... he's extremely well set financially. He doesn't go through all this to "collect a payday" I don't think.

Not that the paydays he collects are anything to sneeze at!

What I think is that he loves to box. He loves the challenge. He's great and he's fought the very best and never had any hangups about being the greatest ever. How some of you can call yourselves fans of the sport and sit behind your keyboards and whine about someone like Oscar is beyond me.

I'm not whining about oscar. Look how many people he got to order his fight with mayweather. He could probably sell a fight of his against anyone and people would watch. I'm saying i don't think he's at his best anymore and he is best served collecting paydays. I never said that what he's been doing.

Even though you were the one I quoted, I didn't necessarily mean that you were the most egregious example of whining. I'm sure you are right that Oscar isn't at prime anymore. But he's good enough to give most who are something to think about. Did pretty good against Mayweather, the P4P best ... sure wasn't made to look foolish. I think that's saying something for him.

I don't understand what your getting at so your saying without them low blows Cotto wouldn't have won ?? because i didn't see any difference in the fight except that Cotto was able to get closer but that was due to Cotto changing up by throwing a jab here and there and punishing Judah when he got close he didn't give Judah a chance to relax.


Its absurd to say that Cotto was just being aggressive.

I think whats more absurd is you thinking Judah could beat Oscar and saying that Judah was just about to knock Cotto out when he wasn't he hurt him few times but Cotto has been shook up alot worse than that and has comeback to win like i said Kostya was hurt by Judah and so was Mayweather but Judah can't keep it together and thats why he lost and its nothing to do with the low blows.

[VictorCharlie]

I think with Cotto/Hatton/Margaritro its going to be an ODH classic where he starts great and runs out of gas late...I don't see any of these guys KOing him so its a simple question of can Oscar's gas tank hold up long enough to win a decision. I'd give him a decent chance against Hatton/Margaritro but not Cotto. I think he'd KO Cintron...I thought Kermit looked good in his last bout, but I just can't shake the Margarito KO. Stamina issues aside he's never been in the ring with a fighter of Oscar's skill. Judah gets KO'd and KO'd early...Williams is an interesting fighter with his size and speed....A few years ago Oscar is able to turn this in to a brawl and wins via KO, but now I just don't think he has the stamina to impose his will on a fighter with Paul's physical attributes

[THE THIRD MAN]

Oscar don't deserve to fight winner of Mayweather vs Hatton just look at his record in past 4 years 2 wins and 3 losses i would like winner of Hatton vs Mayweather to fight winner of Cotto vs Mosley.

Spot on!

[BoomBoom]

I think a fight with Vernon Forrest could be interesting. I always wanted to see them fight and now would be a good time to make it happen imo.

[the phenom]

i think he mite fight zab, zab has kinda become the new mayorga
