So,what do you think about Mayweather rematching Oscar and possibly rematching Hatton

[Kev]

I don't have any problems at all with the Oscar fight. He wants to make a lot of money and this potentially could once again be the richest fight in boxing history, I certainly don't begrude either of them taking this fight, and much prefer it to Floyd taking a year off.

They know they can make a pretty buck so why not?

It also needs to be mentioned that Oscar IS a world class operator and still even now one of the 4 or 5 best possible challenges out there for Floyd.
It annoys me when people think this is a gimme fight for Floyd. Oscar is an exceptional fighter

I also don't understand why people keep mentioning "Oh, this is ridiculous." It would be if Oscar was completely destroyed and humiliated (as many proclaim), but the fight was far from that. Who else has challenged Floyd to a questionable SPLIT decision? Only Castillo I, so why say Oscar vs Floyd II is ridiculous?

As to the Hatton fight however, this completely sucks. Hatton was destroyed and embarrased by Floyd Mayweather, If this fight happens again there is no intrigue or possibility of Floyd losing imo, its just another ass whupping for Ricky Hatton.

Ok, now this is a bit different. Sure, the fight was exciting and all but Hatton lost clearly, no questions asked. A rematch against Hatton, Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii dunno, doesn't convince me, just like Cotto (eventhough I wish I am wrong in that one).

Always nice when someone agrees with me 100%, reminds me I'm not the only smart one on the forum

I'm with the general consensus that ODLH 2 fight isn't a complete waste of time, but I'd have liked Oscar to fight a more credible opponent than Forbes to add more credibility to his rematch with Floyd, so that we know he's still operating at the top level rather than just having sparring contests. Perhaps he could fight Forrest, or one of the top welters.

As for Hatton, well form a line cos I reckon the Big show deserves a another shot before him.

I don't have a problem with any of those rematches, however I think there are better fights out there that I would rather see.

ODH was a close fight and only PBF fans think it was a lopsided win.

Hatton was exciting, I think Hatton could make some adjustments and win but it is very unlikely.

Judah, I always like watching Zab catch a beatdown so why not....


Really much rather see PBF fight Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Forrest. All of those are better fights for me.

just fight Cotto and stop milking the fans for money you greedy twat and that goes for ODLH and Hatton.

I exactly agree.....and i think that Hatton dont have nothing more to get with Floyd even 147 pnd........

[LEGION]

I personally would rather see Mayweather/Hatton again than Mayweather/DeLaHoya. Ricky did bring the fight and it was intriguing to see Floyd play nasty. And even though it hurt me to see Ricky get bounced off the post like a pinball, it was funny. I almost fell aslepp watching the DeLaHoya fight.

But seriously, I would rather neither happened again. I can't see how Floyd will get credit for fighting either again. Oscar is an old man and Ricky is a fat man.....both will be beaten easily. Floyd will start where he left off in the 1st fights IMO. Cotto or put on some weight and go play with John Cena for a living.

I really think that Mayweather has nothing left to prove, but get the impression that he's still not done with boxing. If that's the case, he should fight Cotto and nobody else. He's the only one who could beat him, and so he's the only one who would make him perform to the best of his ability. Oscar and Hatton fights would just be taking the piss; he would know how to win, and he would win. Cotto is a different story. I still think Mayweather's legacy is assured, and he is definitely in my top ten best (not most exciting) fighters that I have ever seen.

[THE THIRD MAN]

The DLH fight was close and it's an event fight which someone said earlier, the Hatton fight wasn't close and he was knocked out! (No rematch deserved there)
Get DLH out of the way again then fight Cotto and be done with it!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AGREE COMPLETELY!!

I owe you rep, but first I have to spread the luv around before I can.

I don't have a huge problem with the ODLH fight because it was somewhat close, ODLH was the champion going into the fight and it ended up being the biggest money making fight in history. It's hard to say no to that and I wouldn't mind seeing it again because it will be a better fight and promotion too. But if Floyd fought Hatton again, I'd have a serious problem with it. Boxers shouldn't be rematching guys they've just knocked out when they were the favorite/champion to begin with. I don't think it will happen anyway. I think it's just a lot of posturing between Floyd and Oscar since Floyd hasn't signed the contract yet. Floyd says he wants to fight Hatton again, ODLH says that he wants Pac, Pac says he wants 30-40 Mil :rofl:, and so on...

I'm hoping that this year is just a year Floyd wants a little break since he's probably a little bored and just probably tired from all the years of boxing/training. Boxers are not slaves and Floyd's paid his dues so if he wants to take a break from the sport for a bit then fine. I'm hoping next year he'll get back into the swing of things, fight three times, and even fight Cotto in the summer of 09'. I'm a Mayweather fan first but still a Cotto fan and that's a fight that needs to happen. It has to for boxing's sake. By next year, the money will be there for both of them assuming Cotto keeps building hype by winning and making claim that he's the REAL welterweight champion.

I wouldnt mind a rematch with Hatton. But it is completely illogical for me to think that way. An Oscar fight doesnt interest me really.

Like many others it is a Floyd: Cotto fight that I really want to see.

[Pugilistic]

i would of perferred mayweather to face cotto or some other elites at 147 but i suppose a de la hoya rematch ain't that bad.

[Unknowndonor]

I'm not against an Oscar rematch, but It wasn't my first few choices for Floyd. Obviously we all want to see Floyd fight Cotto. Hatton doesn't deserve a rematch.

[RozzySean]

I don't want to see Hatton fight Mayweather again. I want him to take care of business at 140 with Paulie and Witter.

I'm not excited about the Oscar rematch, but I guess it makes sense to make some $$$$ while hype and demand builds for a Cotto fight. It's true, lots of casual fans saw the fight for Oscar, and I don't mind him cleaning up the SD win by winning the next one more clearly. The only fight I really care about seeing is Floyd vs Cotto. I can wait until 2009, if need be. Floyd is going to play it out with Cotto just like he did with Hatton.
