I agree with many of the points put forward by Pride early in the thread and I feel De la Hoya, is financially milking the game a little too much now.

I also take issue with Oscar's opposition. Granted he fought Mayweather, but from a purely physical point of view he hasn't called out anyone of equal size in years. He's challemged Forbes, Hatton, Cotto and Mayweather to fights, but each and all of those are considerably smaller than Oscar.
If he is such a brave ready fighter, what has prevented him from calling out the likes of Ronald Wright?

Seems like a lot of people have asked the same queation about him and Winky
There is no denying, it should have happened, but whether it materialises or not at this stage, it's irrelevant, it should have happened four years ago and in my opinion would have served both fighters legacies far better than fights versus the likes of Forbes, Hopkins, Mayorga and even Taylor.

To be fair though I will say that Winky is a guy NO ONE has really been in a rush to fight....Not saying guys are afraid to fight him just not looking to do so in a hurry....Fighting Wright is a no win situation....You will never look good against him even if you beat him...and there is a better then average chance you won't beat him......

Hopkins waited until Wright followed him to 175....Taylor was given a gift....

IMO it was really the Trinidada fight that let everyone kknow what a bad idea it is to face him
