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

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?
