It's like selling to the lowest bidder...


"I'll take the lowball price, thanks and good day."

[THE THIRD MAN]

Not impressed. What about Cintron ?

Cintron would be good , what about Clottey? I couldn't help noticing that DLH makes this announcement after Cotto, Williams, Margarito and Judah all make other commitments? So what he really wants is a fight against anyone that will make him look good at 147lb, this will help sell more PPV for the rematch. A patsy! that's what he wants...now i get it.

What about Kostya Tszyu at 147? Should get him on the phone....

[CutMeMick]

Paulie?

[No Contest]

He wants to fight Paulie at light middle

[Hulk]

I believe Miranda is available...

[boozeboxer]

I would shit if someone like Paulie beat him on points. ha ha ah ah

[SweetPea]

Oscar isn't going to fight someone like Cintron or Clottey, because this is a tuneup fight. You don't fight someone in a tuneup fight who could possibly beat you and ruin your big payday fight. Oscar almost made this huge mistake before with Sturm, you better believe he's going to be extra careful in pikcing his tuneup opponent this time.

Also, it makes some sense for Oscar to fight a small 140 pounder instead of a full-fledged welter or junior middle. Floyd is basically a bulked-up lightweight, and he has the speed of a featherweight.

Oscar should at least fight a fringe contender at welter. And the fucked up thing about this is that he's making these small guys come all the way up to 150. ODLH isn't even dropping down to welter. What a faggot. It's really sad though. I know money is a big issue, but I don't see why he couldn't fight someone like Judah or Collazo. Someone who is a legit welter with a name that he should be able to beat fairly easily. Fighting a tune up with a blown up Forbes or Paulie is no tune up for Floyd Mayweather. The thing that's funny is that he's peddling this as his "thank you fight" to the fans since it will be on free HBO. Thank you? Give me a break loser, we all know that you're just doing this to get more fans to pay for the Floyd rematch.

CC. I don;t think a commission should even sanction this fight.

[BoomBoom]

I think Oscar is trying to get his stock back up. I think that is why he is bringing Floyd Sr. back on. It brings interest in a Mayweather-De La Hoya II fight that couldnt be done without drama. Makes for a more interesting build up to the fight. That ontop of a win against a beatable opponent will help his case for public interest in a rematch. Wouldnt be surprised if the guy he picks to fight comes to his plan though.

[littlebif]

just read on sky sports teletext that De La Hoya may fight Hatton at a catchweight in late may or june.Very bad fight for Hatton if it happens.

I'm getting really fucking sick of Oscar Delahoya's bullshit. I do not wanna see a rematch with Mayweather. Or see him beat up on some overmatched little guy.

I would have no problem watching Oscar beat the shit out of Hatton or Maliganggi. I would even pay for it.

Thats true. Never thought of it that way. IF he fights Malinaggi it would be sort of fun to watch that little punk get his ass beat. BUT he don't deserve the pay day. I'm torn on that issue...
