I am basing these comments on a number of things:



His recent form

His age

Being a part time boxer(fighting 3 or 4 times in 3.5 years?) and a promoter

The weight. At his age,having to lose all that weight to get down to WW must be tough.He fought at 160 not too long back.

His stamina as never been that great(bar the Quartey fight12th round) and as he gets older,that is bound to go down too.

ALso the number one reason I think he is coming back is to lure Hatton into a fight. He knows it's his most winnable fight and I think that too. PBF,Cotto,SSM,I'd favour over him. He has no reason to fight PW/Margarito nor do I think he wants to.

I hope this helps

Still not really gett'n it.

Form.--- His recent form wasn't so bad IMO against the p4p king.

Weight.---- ODH had never had a problem hitting weight. He didn't fight @ MW because of weight issues. Business $$$ & tryin to add another weightclass belt brought him there.

Age.--- Not much of an issue IMO. If u put out all the early to mid 30's fighters. Well, u just wouldn't have a whole lot goin on.

Part time promoter/fighter/etc...--- If u can handle the load then go for it.

Stamina.--- Cross that bridge when u get there. One day isn't here yet. He's never been known to throw 100+ punches in the 12th round. But he has never collapsed. His cardio is not as nearly as bad as the wrap he gets.

I do agree with that he may be targeting Hatton. But IMO that wouldn't be so bad. Infact I would like to see it happen (especially if the PBF vs Hatton fight does not get made).

No disrespect but Williams & not even Margarito (especially now) bring enough to the dance to pull there weight (business sense) to come close to being able to help tote the load for this type of fight.

We will never see him & SSM fight again. And him & PBF #2 doesn't work for me either. But u can never have too many good fighters, fighting. ODH is still a good fighter.

I disagree with & don't comprehend, but respect ur right to have ur opinion.
