Fighting Manny while it will be a more competitive fight than most think makes Oscar look like a giant pussy. Hell if he even fought Cotto or Mayweather in a rematch he'd look better but Jesus he looks horrible if this fight is made!
I'd give you rep, but I need to spread some around first. Rather than cherry pick one division below you go 3 down to find an opponent. That's why I say Oscar, in many respects, is bad for the sport. Pac wouldn't consider fighting a junior middleweight under normal circumstances and Oscar doesn't deserve to fight the #1 P4P guy. Hell, Oscar doesn't deserve to fight Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito, either. A win over a blown up junior welter doesn't erase the last few years of inactivity and wins over substandard opponents.
