    as a lot of you say he is? What will you say when he moves back to WW next year and knocks somebody's block off? I still say he beats, Cotto, Margarito, and Cintron all by KO. We won't even discuss Hatton.

    I say at this age and stage in his career, he needs Tony Russo or Jose Luis Castillo's old doctor to make 147.

    I think Oscar is going to look good at Welterweight - he beats most of the guys down there.

    Cintron is a pretty good fighter and getting better now that he has Manny in his corner.

    Oscar first fight at Welterweight is Cotto - even after he loses to Mosley.

    Cotto vs. De la Hoya for Cinco de Mayo. Cotto stock doesn't fall for losing to someone of Mosley's talent.

    This faded **** is a joke. You don't perform like you did against Floyd if you are faded. Yes, he is older but he trained hard and performed well. He lost that fight and nothing changes if he is younger. All that changes is the weight but the lower in weight Floyd goes, the better he becomes.

    A weight he hasn't made since 2001. And even before then, he said he had problems making the weight.

    Oscar was as cut as he's ever been when he fought Mayweather, and he weighed 154 on the nose.

    I'll be surprised if he actually makes 147 without compromising his performance.

    He will be old and faded and weight drained not a good thing for Oscar honestly but right now alls Oscar smells is money and not legacy something that he learned from Floyd.

    I'm done with Oscar. Seriously. He needs to stay up at 154lbs and get his belt back. He has said sooo many times that 154lbs is his most natural and comfortable weight at this stage. Why the **** is he going to WW??????

    I know he brings in money from the casual fan but so what. Why does Oscar going down to WW generate all this buzz? Was Oscar ever the MAN at WW even when he was younger? Was he ever involved in a FOTY type of event besides beating on a Tito battered Vargas? Im not even sure he can lose all that weight in the first place. Its not like he can be as disciplined in his diet as Hops.
