I hate Oscar. He doesnt have any belts, he doesnt own a division and yet he parades around looking for fights with smaller guys at every opportunity. He is a fraud and a phoney and just wont go away. Oscar has little relevance beyond the amount of money he can make.

And he is ORANGE. And looks like The Joker. Really want Pac to shock the world and be rid of the menace to boxing that is ODLH.
Oscar resume is as good as ANYONES. As far as him fighting smaller guys....that is complete bs. Aside from Pac...when has he fought "smaller guys"? Forbes was a TUNE UP fight for Floyd (because Forbes was a slick, counter punching opponent to help him get ready for the failed rematch). So don't hate...you don't like him...fair enough. But obviously plenty of people still due...considering he is still the biggest draw in boxing. He never embarrasses himself in the ring AND he not only generates $$$ for himself...he generates the biggest paydays for his OPPONENTS! No one held a gun to Pac's head and said fight Oscar. Pac had plenty of great and lucrative fights at 130 and 135. But he wanted the biggest payday of his life. It takes two to tango. Same goes for Hatton and anyone else who would sign up in a sec to fight Delahoya. It's a business...and fighters know that Oscar is damn good for business. Considering Oscar has never ducked anyone in his career...and is one of the big reasons boxing is so popular...calling him a "fraud and phoney" just comes across as sour grapes.
Even Mayweather was a smaller guy. Then Forbes, the tune up for.....wait for it.....Manny Pacquiao (spelling?). And then once Pac is disposed of...where next....of course, the cash cow that is Ricky Hatton!! Lets say Oscar beats Pac and then makes a fight with Hatton. That will have been the fourth fight in a row Oscar has used careful matchmaking to maximise his earnings potential against smaller men. Hatton should in no way accept a fight outside of 140. If Oscar wants to tango with Ricky its about time he makes the sacrifices and evens the playing field somewhat. Hatton is a huge draw himself.

Oscar might have fought a lot of good names but he hasnt done a damn thing in half a decade.

If Oscar really wants a fight then he should go off and fight Cotto or Margarito. I would be very impressed if he did. But no, Oscar wants to minimise the risks and milk the public for what he can.

He is a good businessman, but a cynical and false fighter these days.

I have little time for the little orange freak.

Come on Manny!!! A completely improbable win, but one that is neccessary for boxing IMO.
