Oscar is struggling to make 150

[SweetPea]

If Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor could make 160 then Oscar can get down to 147.

Except Pavlik and Taylor are much younger than Oscar. Do you think those guys will be able to make 160 when they're 35 years old (Oscar's current age)?
When Oscar was in his 20s like Taylor and Pavlik, he could make 147 easily. But he's not young anymore. He's 35 and has been fighting at 154 or above for 7 years.

P.S. I know Mosley was able to drop back down from 154 to 147, but he's shorter than Oscar. Also, Shane looked overly muscular at 154 (and looked like he'd be better at 147), whereas Oscar looked natural at 154 and comfortable there.

It doesn't matter, it's within his grasp....he's the fucking promoter so why would he sign onto a fight he couldn't possibly fight


GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS is named that for a reason....why would he sign a fight vs Floyd at 147 if he can't possibly make that weight?


If he did and KNEW he couldn't make the weight then someone is probably betting heavily on Forbes to win only to reap the rewards and use that money to create a superfight between PBF and the Cotto-Margarito winner

As mentioned earlier down if oscar losing meant PBF-cotto then i for one would be rooting for forbes all the way.

Cant see it happening though, brewer/hopkins probably have already taken their toll on forbes!!

late stoppage for oscar
october/november PBF rematch
much wider points loss
De la hoya leaves the ring at the MGM a bruised and battered hero


thats how this is gonna go down right??

Serves DeLa Hoya right. Money hungry dog.I hope Forbes beats him. And if not,I'll be rooting for that prick Floyd to KTFO him out. He's the better of 2 evils.Oscar is an idiot and should just go away. He clearly cannot make 147 anymore.Yet he still presists because he's some how going to become better than he's been in his last few fights and beat Mayweather.
