Oscar is struggling to make 150

[El Kabong]

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??

[El Gamo]

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.

[TitoFan]

he'll make it and rehydrate easily this is just a ploy i suspect to generate more interest in the fight by getting people to think forbes has a chance which he doesnt this is a "cake walk in the park" as the loquacious pbf would say

Agree one million percent.

What is the difference between God and Oscar Dela Hoya.

God does not think he is Oscar!

"I'm struggling and starving myself to make 150. I have to work to make the weight and I've already been on weight for a couple of weeks so we're getting down to hard, tough training. That's what Floyd Sr. does for me. Our relationship is always a good one. We just had that little glitch in that last fight, which is understandable, and now it's just back to business."


with his age and inactivity this could spell serious trouble for oscar

ODLH is pro's pro. He is always in decent shape, has great trainers and people around him and he isn't a party animal. The activity is less than wanted but we are talking about a 35 yr old not a 23 year old. ODLH is going down and Forbes is coming up. This does not bode well for Forbes. And if Cotto knew what was best he would do his best to make the fight at 147.
