Furious with Oscar

[Small Amount of Peas]

The title says it all really.


"Hi, my name is Oscar de la Hoya. I've brought you many action packed fights over the years and I never ducked anyone. Until now. I was going to fight Miguel Cotto and you all loved me for it and praised my grit. Since he got thrashed by Antonio Margarito, Im going to fight Manny Pacquaio instead."


Wtf is this? Hopefully Ive missed some threads on the subject as i would expect more to be demanding a fight with Margarito.


Oscar/Pac is a NO WIN fight for Oscar. Oscar wins, it was against a teeny tiny featherweight who made the mistake of jumping up too far, ala Ricky Hatton. Oscar loses, yea... nice exit Oscar.

Here's the thing, though. Oscar CANT beat Manny. Manny will absolutely light Oscar up and force a stoppage or late tko.

Furious. Oscar, if you were gung-ho on fighting Miguel, you need to be just as adamant to fight Antonio. I cannot believe this stupid fight is taking shape. Wake me when its over, im going to pout.

This is the most retarded comment I have ever read on here. Margarito has nothing that oscar needs.

This is by far NOT the most retarded comment I have ever seen on here.


Folks, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers but I feel like alot of you are focusing on the wrong details here.

Margartio has nothing Oscar needs? What? How bout the being the guy that beat the guy you were supposed to retire on? How in the world, after completely breaking Miguel Cotto, is Antonio not EXACTLY what Oscar needs on his sunset fight? This is very confusing to me.

Manny is indeed a p4p king, but a tiny one at that. If you think Oscar will get mucho props for beating Manny, (in my opinion he can't win anyway) I think youre mistaken.

We'll see when either Mayweather comes back and kicks Margarito's ass, or when Paul Williams does it again. Oscar DOES NOT need to beat the champion at WW, because Margarito is a forgetable character, when boxing is barely a whisper in the future people will remember guys like Pacquaio is one of the best southpaws to ever lace up. Pacquiao is just another p4p #1 on Oscar's belt, whether he wins or not this fight means way more to the WORLD then Margarito-De La HOya ever could. ALso Oscar is a really big welterweight, He looked bigger in the shoulders and just bigger in general than Trinidad when they fought, he still moves well which means those legs aren't done, and that means a lot of trouble for Margairto because Oscar can throw that jab just as hard as Cotto's, but with so much less effort, and its a lot faster. Oscar will pepper Margarito from the outside with right hands and that nasty jab, and once and awhile he will land that left hook from hell that hit Mayorga in the first round of their fight. Margarito can have the best chin in the world, but if he is caught off balance after once of his haymakers he will go down.

You seem convinced. So forget Pac. Let Oscar make the fight with Margarito and cement his legacy. Me... I'll be rooting for Margarito, and raking in the money from the bets I'll be sure to make with overzealous DLH fans.

Aside from less money from fighting Tony. Oscar does not want his ego forever crushed when he gets demolished by The Tijuana Tornado or any top welter out there right now.
