Oscar DelaHoya Shifts Toward Paul Williams

link: Oscar Shifts Toward Paul Williams

Another contradiction from DelaHoya. DelaHoya rejected a fight against Margarito since he felt that Margarito vs. Williams should take place first. Now DelaHoya is suddenly interested in fighting Williams? Good fight tho...

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...

Oskee is a crossdresser... How about some fishnet body stockings?

Oh no! We crossed the line...

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.

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?

- Hoya slaps Pacquiao with his unfair 70/30 purse split offer and rejecting Pacquiao's 60/40 demand

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.

Yeah...let's see if Team Hoya will finally mention the name "Miguel Cotto"...

Maybe as fast as Cotto saying "I want to fight Margarito again...NOW!"

[No Contest]

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....

Oscar has always taken the most challenging matches

Exactly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Brilliant analogy..... LMFAO!

[rjj tszyu]

Well IMO Oscar beats Pac and Margarito but could well struggle with Williams. Oscar has always taken the most challenging matches so I wouldn't be suprised if he did again here.

If Oscar takes on Paul Williams, then people have to respect that.

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.

So if he can't fight Tony, and if he shouldn't fight Pac, then I'd say Williams is a great option. If ODLH wins, he beat the man (Williams) who beat the man (Tony), he took on a legitimately difficult challenge in Williams, and he'd be the absolute good guy throughout the entire promotion and everyone (but me) would be cheering for him. 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.
