    That's assuming he wants to continue to abuse his body at 35 years of age, instead of sitting back and letting other people do that for him to earn his money.

    Salty is right, he didn't try anything different at all.

    What was Beristain saying in the corner?

    I said to my friends after the third round "Oscar's not trying".

    He's a professional boxer, he's used to the abuse. There's no way he'd quit on his stool in the humiliating way he did for money. Surely if he's as greedy as people make out he would have tried to beat Pac to get $$$'s fighting Hatton...

    ODLH is a richer man if he beats Pac!

    Past it, yes. Weight drained, yes. Ending your career like that for money? NO WAY!

    True, but that's not as financially rewarding for ODLH as a Mayweather rematch hough is it?

    Oscar showed what other older fighters have shown us....when you're old and you drop weight you're no good. Chris Byrd, Roy Jones Jr., etc etc etc...because of the weight loss you're slower, your reflexes are shot, and your stamina is gone. Oscar can still sell fights and he can still win but yes of course you have to question his motivation.


    Oscar could have some big paydays (which is of course what he likes) vs Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Forrest, and anyone else that will fight at 150 and up.

    Manny is now set to earn HUGE money vs guys like Hatton and Floyd Mayweather (who you have to assume is waiting for Manny).
