Zab has gotten chances in the past because he has a big name, and no matter what people say, he is an exciting fighter who many people (including myself) enjoy watching. That's why he got shots against guys like Mayweather and Cotto. In the Cotto fight, it was also because Zab is from Brooklyn, which was a big selling point since the fight was in NY at Madison Square Garden. He had a lot more drawing power in his hometown than someone like Margarito or Clottey would have.

If he fights DLH, then this is basically the same situation as the DLH-Mayorga fight. Oscar wants an opponent who has name recognition, but who should also be an opponent that Oscar can look good against and beat by KO. I don't think people should complain about Zab getting a shot against Oscar, it's not for a title belt and Oscar is the one handpicking the opponent, it's not like Zab getting a shot is robbing someone else of a shot.
