Why are so many people so quick to throw the golden boy under the bus...by no means am i a Goldie fan, but to my knowledge he's taken all comers...sometimes it takes him a minute to get to them...but it has to do with if it's financially sound for him...he is the draw...he's not going to take a risk if it doesn't pay too...he's earned that. But all those who had grudeges with him, he has fought...People are acting like Margo is going to bust him up, DLH has some pop, especially at WW. He's won every single boxing accalade...plus he is a million times smarter than Margo...I'd give this fight to DLH...he's the same size, been in with better comp, can hit, and move...this is not a good fight for Margo IMO. Dont ever sleep on the Golden Boy cuz once he's signed to fight you, he's coming for you. P.S. I am a Puerto Rican and Die-Hard Tito fan, but I respect talent and I don't think it is fair for everyone to **** on DLH
I'm a Delahoya fan. Have been for years. I don't think Oscar will give Margarito the shot he deserves. This detracts from the way I used to think of Delahoya. As much as I hate to say this, I think Oscar is afraid of Margarito.
At the time Oscar fought TIto, tito was a much bigger force and scare than margo...fighting Bernard had to of been much more intimidating than margo...we can't judge DLH for not fighting margo, when he hasn't yet turned it down...it has to make $en$e for him to take it.
I wouldnt sleep on him, but I doubt Oscar has the desire anymore or the stamina to turn back Margarito. Past prime vets always struggle with prime Swarmer. It wont be the power but the accumilation of punches that would do him in. He has the skills, jab, and power to get Margarito's respect and possibly win, but Im not sure he has the stamina to go 12 rounds and beat a swarmer like Margarito anymore.
Maybe in 1998 Oscar had a chance but the past is past and Oscar is part of it. Margaritos training consists of 30%boxing and 70% endurance and conditioning. I also have to say that Oscar has been known for gassing out in the champ rounds were Margarito is a ****ing animal, sorry bro no chance for Oscar.
I do not put doubt in Hoya as a fighter but now the fighter is a business tycoon and so its the mental aspect that bothers me a bit. I think Hoya 100 percent in form beats Marg and beats him by ko. But Hoya right now is reading the Wall Street journal with his patent leather shoes plopped up on his desk while Marg is probably studying his last fight with his trainers and trying to improve his game. It's just the silk pajamas thing.
