Im not saying Oscar De La Hoya doesn't deserve some bashing but come on the man is a legend look at his record and look at all of the opponents he beat........
He even went up to 160 to fight Bernard Hopkins thats 6 weight classes higher than the weight class he started at i think its very disrespectful to say Oscar De La Hoya is scared of Antonio Margarito because that sounds like your calling him a coward........
Oscar De La Hoya has fought good opposition since his 4th pro fight and about 85 percent of his opposition has been top quality i think people need to show some more respect to Oscar De La Hoya considering what he done for the sport and considering what he achieved......
Im not saying i agree with him fighting Manny Pacquiao but it makes good business sense Manny Pacquiao is the biggest name in boxing at the moment and sells out arena's where as Antonio Margarito isn't that well known to the casual boxing fans and hasn't got the star power Manny Pacquiao has and more importantly Antonio Margarito doesn't sell out arena's.......
The fact is whether you like it or not Antonio Margarito vs Oscar De La Hoya isn't as appealing as Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya tickets wise nor is it as appealing to the general public.......
I personally think Oscar De La Hoya should retire he has done enough in his career in my opinion but if he wants Manny Pacquiao to be his last fight i have no problem with it.
