De La Hoya to fight Baldomir after defat to Pac ?

[Taeth]

I don't think Oscar is past it yet... I honestly believe fighting Pacquiao for the first time is an experience most people do not enjoy. Marquez was dropped 3 times early, Barrera got the shit beaten out of him. Really only Morrales really looked good early when dealing with Pacquiao.

I've noticed even in the Floyd fight, and I've said it before that if Floyd had thrown more he would have dominated Oscar, he should have fought the same way he did against Corrales, but they were both a little gun shy, and when Floyd would throw combinations Oscar wouldn't counter or do anything but try and block shots, Well Pacquiao being both a southpaw and having a higher work rate, that worked perfectly, because as long as he threw punches Oscar would be too busy focusing on his defense. Speed kills, and Baldomir has no speed. I think Oscar wins this.

The thing is that Marquez, Barrera, and Morales where not old, worned out, out of gas, etc. Pac beat Barrera and Morales fair square. JMM? Well, won't say much because I don't agree with the decisions. But ODLH? Not only was he passed his prime and every other thing Pac and his team admitted, he was also drained to the point of weighting even less than Pac. When Oscar got beat by Mosley and Hopkins, Oscar was throwing fast combinations, power shots, that sharp jab, using his legs, etc. He got beat fair square and brought action to the fight. As for his fight with Pac, he hardly threw punches, hardly moved, etc. I was expecting the fight to be stopped because he was not doing much on round 7. Just blocking and looking all drained.
Does Oscar still has something left? I wish I could say that. After the Forbes fight, I was not convinced about him anymore even though he won.

Of course DLH wins...Could he seek a softer opp?....

He sought out Stevie Forbes in hopes to look good...he got the win but looked terrible in doing so...

He sought out Pac in hopes of his size being the factor with a big name to boot...he was embaressed

Now Baldomir?.....Slow, on the slide big time, no power

People debating who wins this makes it much more interesting. Doesn't seem like a slam dunk for either guy so that might raise the interest level right there.
