Oscar De la Hoya appreciation thread

[leftylee]

Taking what too far ?? i don't see any problem with a rematch the first fight was a good competitive fight was it not ?? i already said there's better fights for Mayweather but that doesn't make Mayweather vs ODLH 2 a bad match up. I don't think you was around here before ODLH vs Mayweather 1. Well let me just tell you everyone was excited about this fight.

Everyone before the fight see this as a big risk because Mayweather was moving up to weight class he nevr fought at before and plus ODLH heavily out weighed him, it was pretty much 50-50 with opinions split. And actually quite a lot of people had this very close fight not that i see it that way but i still see it as a good competitive fight. Now its suddenly a "Joke fight" when all these people before were saying that wouldn't mind a rematch, and all these people were saying Mayweather needed to fight ODLH.

I never said he isn't doing it for money but regardless its still a good fight, as i have said before there are better fights out there but i still see this as a good fight. And to call Mayweather P4P joke is ridiculous, just look at the mans record and what he has achieved its second to none right at this moment, and he is probably one of the most skilled fighters of all time.

Yea I know beforehand the fuss everybody made, I know as I went the bookies and placed a bet on ODLH, but watching the fight it wasn't that close IMO and it is pointless for PBF to fight Oscar again when there's better and bigger fights out there, for me it is just a waste of a fight for Floyd and pretty pointless because if Oscar can't beat him in 2007 whats the difference in 2008?

Im not saying i agree with the fight personally i would rather Mayweather fight winner of Williams vs Quintana 2 or Cotto vs Margarito. But like i said i still don't see it as a joke fight nor do i see it as a bad fight, but yes i would rather see Mayweather take the fights i just mentioned.

Thats your opinion and I respect that. I just want Mayweather to fight Cotto so much, it would be massive, two undefeated welterweight world champions going at it.

How would you feel if Mayweather fought winner of Quintana vs Williams 2 instead of Margarito vs Cotto ??

I'd be happy if he fought Paul Williams as PW would give him problems with his height, reach and how many punches he throws but PW might move up to light-middle, I don't know how much he is draining himself at 147. PW v Forrest would be a great match. If he fought Quinatana I wouldn't be that happy, Cotto blasted him out in 5. The winner of Margarito/Cotto would be much more of a threat and PBF would get a lot of recognition if he beat the winner of that matchup (He would get my probs anyway).

Too much risk for Floyd
