Is ODLH-Forbes a preparation for PAC-ODLH?

[Spicoli]

This will/should not happen.This would be a meaningless "Name" event and have no relevancy what so ever.Credit to the Diva though.....at least he is doing his circus act promoting in the boxing ring with a former, albit stretched out, Former Champion.As opposed to a wrestling ring

I agree ODLH-Forbes has no meaning at all to the boxing world... But for Oscar, why he has to sacrifice going down to 147 for this meaningless fight?

Hmm could it be for PBF's WBC 147 lb. title?

[Chino]

Exactly, ODLH vs Forbes has as much meaning as Cotto vs Gomez, I agree. The only difference is that people hate ODLH so whatever he does is just unacceptable.

Pacstraight,
Wouldn't you want to see ODLH vs Pac?

At least Cotto was fighting a bigger guy... ODLH will be fighting a smaller guy...

Both not really being a nightmarish threat AT ALL. Why root for Cotto's desicion to take that fight but not ODLH?

latest is freddy roach wants oscar for pacquiao.

Roach to Bob Arum: "We're missing the boat!" Pacquiao wants De La Hoya!

[XaduBoxer]

Dela Hoya weigh in at 150 lbs. in his last 2 fights... Maybe he's ready to make 147 for a December Pacquiao fight.

[brucelee]

Indeed, fighting Soto is a lose-lose situation for Pac. Thanks to that link KKisser.

if he wins, he has nothing to be proud of. Soto has just been beaten by Guzman. If he loses, it will be a big drop on his ranking.


Let Pac vs ODLH happen if Hatton and Valero are not available!!!

This is going to be a massacre, I know they're gunning for the super mega bucks but this is outrageous. PAC is lucky if he makes it in the 12lth round, I hate PAC's handlers!!!

[XaduBoxer]

I posted this some 2 months ago (May 1, 2008 to be exact):

" If PAC will be successful against David Diaz, his possible next BIG fight will be:

1. Campbell at 135 - for the lightweight undisputed unification fight

2. Hatton at 140 - for PAC's 4th world title in 4 weight division (even if it's only the IBO belt). It is also for "3 titles in 3 weight division in 1 year" achievement.

3. DelaHoya at 147 - purely for the HUGE money"

High Reward........Low risk.This is like a giant Commercial for The Mayweather/DelaHypa build up.Gets us talking right?Oscar will be sitting at Jr.Middle when the bell rings.I hope the stars aline and hell freezes over and we see the "Afterthought" Forbes out hustle and pull off the upset.Not likely though.

By knocking out Forbes at 147, Dela Hoya showed he can KO PBF at 147 ?

Hope it's ODLH who will be KO'd this weekend... Payback for giving us this meaningless fight...
