Do you think there is any chance Oscar ends up fighting Margarito?

    After taking into account all of the naysayers regarding a fight with Pacquiao, do you think his pride (and public opinion) will force him to fight Margarito instead of Manny?
    Any chance?

    Yes! I think the Pacquiao fight is a pipe dream that's going to come to an end in the next month. Outside of that, no one else in the sport brings as much buzz to a show down with Oscar as Tony. It's actually a competivie fight given that Oscar's slightly bigger and faster. Importantly, I doubt that anyone else out there would take as small a purse as Tony, at the same time create as much overall public interest.

    Not a chance. I don't question's Oscar's heart, but I think he wants to end his career with a more winnable fight. I have a feeling he's going to bypass a fight with pacquaio and find a way to sell a fight with Cotto or maybe even Hatton. Cotto is still a threat to oscar due to his speed and accuracy, and a win over Malignaggi might propel hatton to a rushed fight with DLH.

    DLH has always been an idiot but you know what if he had any real balls he would give Margo a boxing lesson at 154 and retire. Its there for the takeing I have very little doubt if Oscar prepares he can outpoint and move on margo all night long. He would leave the ring a hero to his and casual fans instead of the bullying greeddy **** he prefers to be

    There's always a chance the fight could happen, but I wouldn't bet my money on the fight happening.

    How old is he right now and when is the last time he fought a guy as relentless as Margarito?
