Secondly how does ODLH wanting to fight Cotto prove ODLH is a money hungry bully ?? majority of people think Cotto would beat ODLH making ODLH the underdog. So doesn't that take bottle from ODLH wanting to take on a dangerous opponent like Cotto at this stage in his career ?? Thirdly what fighter would you want ODLH to fight at Light Middleweight that appeals to you, more than a Cotto vs ODLH fight ??
Once again you come up with something I never said.

I never claimed or stated that De la Hoya is equal in size to Bernard Hopkins. I may have alluded that Oscar is of a more similar build to a middleweight than the Welters and Light Welters he is calling out, but I never claimed he was equal in size to Bernard Hopkins.

Oscar claimed last year he was the Junior Middleweight Champion of the world. A title that he won having dropped back down from Middleweight. Do you find it strange that Oscar has not faced an opponent that was previously active at 154 since 2003 when he faced Shane Mosely?
Why not fight a Light Middleweight rather than pick on smaller me.
For me a bully is someone who utilises their natural physical advantage to pick on opponents of a lesser physical size and obtaining an advantage befor training ever begins. Is this not what Oscar is doing?

Any fight at 154 appeals to me more than Cotto/DLH. The Cotto DLH fight has no relevance. If DLH wins is he Welter Champion, despite having not competed against anyone in that weight class this decade? (?)
The only relevance this has is to Oscars pockets.
