At this point, I've lost almost all interest in Oscar De La Hoya...He's like a girl looking in her closet for a date and not being able to decide what dress to put on...

Seriously, I think Oscar just pretending he's interested in a Williams fight to lessen the bashings he got when he avoided a Margarito fight... Williams and Margarito are considered the top welters right now...
.
Personaly,I am anticipating DelaHypas retirement.Just enough already.Seems to have a death-grip on the spotlight though.
This ones a bad Idea For Oscar.Williams is too long,too big,too busy for this late stage Oscar.I still believe Mayweather will "shock" us all and come back into the mix as well.
Hoya been slapping his possible opponents with his antics;
- Hoya slaps Pacquiao with his unfair 70/30 purse split offer and rejecting Pacquiao's 60/40 demand
- Hoya slaps Margarito by considering Paul Williams as his next opponent while rejecting Margarito's challenge
.
This has to be very distracting and annoying for those who just might get a last shot at Oscar, it's obvious Oscar is looking for a win so that he can go out on top but at this point in time his options are not very good not even if he was facing a smaller man in PAC. There is no way in hell he beats the pressure cooker Antonio Margarito. Although he is easy to hit, he is hard to dent and can really take a punch to the head, face, chin and body. Paul Williams is a whole different fighter today and has learned from his loss against Q. Cotto is out of the picture for now. The only safe opponent is Mora but, he has to get past Forrest and this might be a different Forrest this time around. I have a feeling ODLH is going to ride this out until after the Mora fight. ODLH just might retire and not fight anyone. It might be over. Adios CASH COW![]()
Not only that but other boxers have not accepted to fight him already. Not an easy situation for him now.
Then shouldn't all the forum be happy about this fight and see ODLH loose?This ones a bad Idea For Oscar.Williams is too long,too big,too busy for this late stage Oscar.
Unfair? ODLH is still the guy with the bigger name and what he is offering PAC is an amount he is yet to receive in a fight.- Hoya slaps Pacquiao with his unfair 70/30 purse split offer and rejecting Pacquiao's 60/40 demand
Maybe as fast as Cotto saying "I want to fight Margarito again...NOW!"Yeah...let's see if Team Hoya will finally mention the name "Miguel Cotto"...

Waaaay better than a Hatton or Pac fight. Williams got his wish....When asked who he would like to fight next. "You know some De La Hoya, you know some Mayweather". It was like he was ordering off a menu and couldn't decide I'll have a lil De La Hoya and a side of Mayweather....
Exactly.Oscar has always taken the most challenging matches
Didn't see it that way, I agree. Look at what happened after he faced J.C. Chavez. He wants to leave with a good paycheck, victory, and fanbase. It makes sense.I have never liked ODLH but I don't think that he's scared to fight Margarito, I really do think the only reason he's not fighting Margarito is sincerely because he wants to go out beloved and cheered for by all. Fighting Tony (who's establishing a big Mexican fanbase now) just isn't the way to do it. That fight will be split between the mainstream audience/ women rooting for Oscar and most hardcore boxing fans/Mexicans rooting for Tony. ODLH has always been insecure about how he's viewed by the Mexican people and he knows that Mexicans would root against him if he fought Tony. ODLH is a narcissist that can't take being booed or hated and has to be loved by all so there's absolutely no way he's fighting Tony.
Wouldn't sell as much but making it his FAREWELL FIGHT might still make some numbers. He would still leave with a fat paycheck if he fought a bum, no doubt.The only negative for ODLH is that the fight wouldn't sell as much as a Pac or Marg fight but with the right promotion it will still do very well.
That's what Pacquiao felt about the 70/30 offer, it's unfair and a slap in his face... Hoya having 60% of the pie clearly indicates that he's the bigger name... Hoya is just too greedy to up his share to a whooping 70% ...
Pacquiao presently is standing tough on his demand of 60/40 purse split and might not even accept a 65/35 split...
