    If ODH came back at 160 (no weight draining + eating healthily) against a faded name, and looked good. Could a match of legends me made?

    Along the lines of RJJ v Felix Trinidad, but obviously lighter probably around 166. RJJ would be more tight at the weight + he is old and well worn. ODH will not be weight drained, but heavier than ever before.

    It would create interest + dollars, and where else have either to go?

    No, crazy idea, not going to happen, shouldn't happen, and won't happen for many reasons.

    For a start, RJJ doesn't like Oscar at all.

    Neither man would be effective at that catchweight (particularly Oscar!), and I seriously doubt either could even make it.

    he owes Felix Sturm a rematch. :lol:
    I think he would be better off at 154.

    I agree, 154lbs or **** off Oscar. (Just embarrassing yourself now!)

    That said, I'd still pick "Golden Boy" to win @ 154 if he chooses right.
    (Vernon Forrest anyone?, I'd be down)

    if oscar wants to go out on his shield at 160...he can go get knocked out by pav...at least oscar has fought a top mw before (w/ bad results) and i would rather see pav send him into retirement for good than watch him fight mora

    No joke, But I'd take Golden Boy over Pavlik.. styles make fight's and Kelly's is as simple as you get. (tho effective)

    I can see Oscar do a "Hopkins" why not?
    (Besides the fact that he is a million in boxing years)

    That Mora fight ain't gonna be as easy as most think, Sergio is not gonna stand in front of Pavlik, AT ALL! Pavlik's Krusty the clown feet are not made for movement.

    That said, Fight AA.

    I'm sure Joe Calzaghe would offer to come out retirement to fight the winner.
