WHY OSCAR-FLOYD IS A MUST FIGHT!!

[CrunchTime]

Not only is this fight the biggest megafight in the new millenium so far in terms of $$$...HBO execs are projecting a $35 million purse ($22.5 for Oscar, $12.5 for Floyd)...

But in terms of legacy for either man, De La Hoya has the best chance of anyone at 147-154 of beating Mayweather and vice versa, Floyd has better chance against Oscar than Hatton, Margarito or any of the other lesser names!!

I know it was the limited Mayorga that Oscar beat down, but it was the WAY he broke him down that showed me, when he is highly motivated, De La Hoya is not that far from what he was at the top of his game (and probably hitting harder than EVER) so a matchup with Mayweather is a very winnable fight for Oscar right now...

Now if we can just get Floyd Sr to ease up...

A pretty big chunk & it'd be great for boxing.

I dont think after Felix stunk out the place vs Winky+saw Oscar dispose of Mayorga easier than HE did, that Felix will ever fight Oscar again, even if he does make a comeback, which is unlikely anyway.

THE REASON FMS WONT TRAIN ODH...

cuz he doesnt want PBF to make that money

You are probably right, dogg! A month or 2 ago FMS wasnt talking all this "I cant train a man to knock out my own son"...He was saying "I dont think Oscar can handle PBF without a couple more fights first", then all of a sudden he changes to the family loyalty stance...

Personally, I think this may just be one of many "potential roadblocks" that work against the fight to allow for a long, slow buildup...kind of like Leonard's many "obstacles" and delays to build up the Hagler match that Leonard teased the public with for several years!

Maragarito would more than likely beat them both because there is evidence that PDF and DLH are both afraid of him and battles are very dependent on one's mental state.

However, I would still love to see a DLH/PBF fight.

You underestimate both Oscar & Floyd if you honestly believe either is afraid of Antonio!! Margarito showed alot of promise from 2000-03, but he hit the wall against Daniel Santos & was exposed for his lack of boxing skills. Those wide, looping punches he wings at foes were ineffective vs Santos & would be easily avoided by both Oscar & Floyd. Tono would be tattoed all night by combinations from either. Floyd by clearcut decision...Oscar stops Tono in mid-to-late rounds!!

Plus Floyd-Oscar is $$$$$ huge megafight. Jim Lampley of HBO projects $35 million totalm ($22.5 Oscar, $12.5 Floyd). Oscar-Margarito would do about $20-25 million, Floyd-Antonio earns about $10 million ($8 million Floyd, $2 million Antonio).

Plus Oscar-Floyd is just the megafight boxing needs for a tremendous shot in the arm!!

I would pay to see this fight!!!!! I haven't payed for a PPV in years..I have went and watched it at restaurants and the likes but I would PAY for this one!!!!

In buying out his contract from Arum, Mayweather Jr. nullified his Aug. 12 unification bout against WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, in which he was to be paid $8 million.

Since De la Hoya and Margarito often train in the mountains behind Los Angeles it was very convenient to get them sparring together but just as blatant injustice occurs among boxing’s refs, judges and announcers; it also occurs among trainers. I have seen this personally where the trainer is telling his pet boxer to punch! Punch! but then as soon you punch and hurt the pet back, the trainer gets all pissed off. This is exactly the kind of injustice that went on Oscar’s camp according to Maragarito.
