    Fight Manfredo/Gomez/Mora then do a fucking HBO mini-series like Little house on the prairie trying to tell us it is relevant.

    Then that will get us ready for the Mega fight between ODLH against Forbes II.

    Hatton would generate the most money, so probably Hatton.

    Legacy has nothing to do with ODLH's fight choice.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I'd still don't see the Oscar-Hatton fight happening. I think Pacquiao-Hatton is a more realistic possibility.

    If Oscar doesn't want to fight the Cotto-Margarito winner, then I think Vernon Forrest is a possibility.

    I think ODH isn't concerned with money only legacy and only against a fighter he thinks he can beat. I'm a ODH fan but even I can agree that either Cotto or Margarito are a tough fight. Could he win sure would I put money on it..No He will fight someone who is perceived as a big fight but in reality will pose a minimum threat. Somone like Mayorga. Floyd was worth the risk. Hatton since being blasted by PBF doesn't do much for ODH's legacy. I'm not sure who he is going to fight but much like most of Oscar's recent fights it will be to maximize his legend and tilted in his favor.

    De La Hoya fought Mayweather, who I couldn't really cheer for either one. I think this is about the same way if he fights Mora.

    Hopefully, Oscar will retire PERMANENTLY as a boxer and focus more on Golden Boy Promotions. Both NEED to be accomplished for the sake of boxing. As a boxer, Oscar has failed to thrill/impress in a long, long time. As a promoter, his stable has been very unsuccessful recently, with losses by Mosley (to Cotto), Hopkins (to Joe C), de Leon (to Lopez), Barrera (to Manny), and many others. Making money and not thrilling the fans is wearing thin on boxing fans (at least for me).

    Hard to fault GBP for the losses. Those were all fights that the fans wanted to see with competitive matching. I'd say GBP is doing as good if not better than most promotions in putting together the fights fans want. Its on the both fighters to go out and give a good performance much less win.
