How big of a pussy does this make Oscar look like?

Pussy?

Is this a joke?

How can you call him a pussy with the record this guy has. Look at everyone he has faced.

He wants a massive pay day in his last fight. I don't see the big deal really.

His legacy is already well and truly intact.

So Pacquiao is the way to go Was Jorge Arce busy or something OR maybe Oscar could fight Layla Ali!


De la Hoya-Pacquiao is a FARCE! Manny would have to jump up in weight and then fight someone who's going to be 160 pounds come fight night! Manny wouldn't weigh 160 in a suit of armor!!!


Oscar should be a big boy and fight Margarito it's what the fans want!

Joshua Clottey has just done the same thing and pretty much got away with it.

Manny was around 148 on his last fight night. I think he could get to around 154 for a fight with Oscar. I wouldn't rule out his chances just yet anyway.

I take on board what you are saying about wanting to see him fight Tony, but for everything Oscar has done in his career, i think people should go a little easy on him. He's given so much to the sport. I can't think of too many fighters in their peak now who are going to end up with a resume anywhere near as good os his.

If he can earn triple what he would from a tougher fight, then i say he deserves to go for it.

So Clottey got away with fighting a guy who is already established within his own weight class? Say what you will about how much weight he gained after the weigh in, Joshua Clottey has gone by all the rules he is supposed to go by. The same as Carlos Baldomir who had to sweat down from 170+ pounds. If Oscar could get down to 140 and fight I'd respect him calling out Manny Pacquiao, but he can't even make 147 and he's challenging someone who's fought at a max of 135. Clottey can make 147 and Zab is a welter, albeit on the light side. So long as you can make the weight class of the person you're in against I say more power to you. I don't see anybody calling for Margarito or Andre Berto to bump up to Junior middleweight or Paul Williams to bump up to middleweight, why the exception for Joshua Clottey?

People just hate him no matter what. He can have a fight on tv FOR FREE and people will cry about it. He can support the olympic team and people will cry about it. People don't talk about his achievements and list of guys he faced.
Other guys like Mayweather, Cotto, or Margarito, won't make a nickle compared to ODLH facing Pac.
Pac is no martyr poor little boo boo. He knows what he's getting into and that is a BIG ASS PAYCHECK, the biggest in his career and probably the biggest he will ever get.

[Master]

So that makes everything alright then? Not that his best years are long gone and he is another Elvis in Las Vegas, way way past his best.

[Chino]

Nope, didn't say its right and I don't see it THAT wrong either.
Imagine Cotto doing the same. I can assure you nobody would say a thing.

Why are guys complaining about this fight?? mOnths & years ago.. this is just a Fantasy fight. I have seen a lot of threads(in ESB) of matching Pac vs everybody in the ATG list. This fight is one of them and now it's happening. We guys are lucky we will see it in our lifetime.

Pac is the one Challenging DLH. If DLH say no to a Challenge from a Great Little guy then he will be called a bigger Pussy. DLH a no Good 160 pounder. He can't beat Mosley at 154 & 147. He maybe Great at 130-140 but that was years ago. This is now.. he's fading, getting slower, can't pull the trigger anymore etc.

Pac is in his prime & #1 P4p. Let Pac get a chance of a legendary & Money fight he deserves. Floyd got one and look what he did with it He just took the money & run with it. Pac will be different. He will give us a great fight, He will take DLH's title as the #1 attraction in boxing and defend it against the best.

Exactly, you can never win with anything that has to do with ODLH. If ODLH said "No" to Pac, you would have people crying here saying he's afraid and all the things that are said about ODLH everyday.
People have said that ODLH should face Cotto. If ODLH signs a fight with him I can bet people will start crying "Oh, no he picks Cotto after seeing how bad he was punished against Tony". You just can't win with ODLH.

Manny will fight Oscar hard but the FACT is that Manny Pacquiao is currently fighting at the weight that Oscar started his career at and Manny began his career fighting basically at strawweight...and this is a fair fight now It makes it even more of a joke! If this fight is anywhere near competitive then I guess Oscar had all the right reasons to avoid both Cotto and Margarito.


Antonio Margarito deserves the chance to fight for the torch of the division/fans admiration. He has been fighting since he was 15, he just beat the undefeated Miguel Cotto, and he has taken on all comers AND has been the sparring partner for fighters such as Oscar De la Hoya. If you're Oscar you repay Tony for his help in providing a great service to your career in preparing you for other fights.

Pacquiao is great but I would rather he at least win a title at 140 before jumping to 147 to fight Oscar.


As for Oscar's career, it has been a great one but we haven't seen the fire in him for a long time....he dismantled Mayorga but he didn't really have to do anything special to do that. He hasn't had a big win since Vargas in 2002 and even then he was being outboxed for the majority of the fight....albeit he was just getting used to the Mayweather style of fighting which makes it a BIG BIG win but it's been a looooong time since then
