    I was somewhat of a DLH fan for all his accomplishments and his career, but these past few fights have really let me down and now with the news about DEC 6 fight with PAC...I am ashamed. Richard Shafer said he was disgusted that Margarito was calling out Oscar, well I am ashamed Oscar is fighting a 135 punder. Chavez gave Oscar the opportunity to excel not once but twice in the downfall of his career. While Oscar will not fight a fellow Mexican named Margarito? This fight could be huge and could actually mean something besides a marketing scheme. If he takes the fight with PAC I hope he looses and never boxes again. Heres a petition for Oscar to fight Margo if any are interested: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/DLHVSMARGARITO
    Hope none of you actually buy this crap and instead stream it online for free. Dont buy in to Oscars crap hes not the guy that fought TiTo.:nono

    I am all for it if Pacman somehow magically finds the way to KTFO DLH into oblivion.

    I don't like the matchup. I would watch it, I admit it, but there's a lot of other guys I'd rather see DLH fight than Pacquiao, and vice versa.

    Guys their own size.

    I don't really care. I would hope he would fight someone bigger, but if these two grown men want a pay day, more power to them. I wouldn't order the fight.

    I'm totally for it.

    It would be a huge event.
    I personally think Pac would win. Oscar hasn't shown KO power for years and Pac would outspeed him and occasionally stun him.
    It should be a decent action fight as far as Oscar fights go. Pac is always in entertaining fights.
    I understand the point that Margarito deserves the fight and the payday, but, let's be realistic. Oscar hasn't been a serious titleholder for years now. He picks the best opportunities for himself. And does Oscar really "deserve" the opportunity to fight the recognized 147 pound titleholder right now? No, he hasn't fought at 147 for years.

    Just out of curiosity, why does Oscar deserve the opportunity to fight for a title at 147? He hasn't fought at 147 since 2001!!!!

    And to turn your argument around, aren't there way more deserving contenders at 147 that Margarito should be fighting instead of "for a payday" against a guy who hasn't fought in the weight class for 7 years? Don't guys like Clottey and Williams "deserve" the opportunity to fight Margarito to be the best at 147 before Oscar does?

    If Margarito gets the big money fight with de La Hoya, it won't be @ 147.

    It'll be at Oscarweight.

    I kinda see the same scenario unfolding like the Margo/Cotto outcome.....DLH is just to big for him.This is bad matchup.I used to have just a tad bit of respect for DELAHOMO but thats out the window with this one.Good payday for Pacquiao so i dont blame him plus its a great challenge for him.As far as DelaHomo, well what can i say but he is obviously a fkg chump for not giving Margo the opportunity.If he would have fought Margo win or lose it would have sealed his legacy plus it would have been a great fight for all the Mexican fans....I dont agree with DLH vs PAC and i WILL NOT purchase this bull**** fight(i'll wait another week to see it for free)

    This fight is an aberration and should not even be in consideration.

    I won't buy it or pay much attention to it, but I am not as against it as some. It's a big payday for both guys, so I can see why they are doing it. Yeah, I'd rather see Oscar fight Margo and Pac fight one of the 135 pound titlists, but they are the ones lacing them up. I won't be too hard on them for chasing the money. Both guys have fought tough competition over their careers.
