    Maybe Forrest. Maybe Mayweather (unless Oscar jabs him silly for the WHOLE fight, not just the first 8 rds). Possibly Cotto, if he moves up. And that's probably it. Could be others, but I'm not sure if I would favor anyone else right now.

    I would argue that Oscar has more left than a lot people think, but I would like to see how he handles Forbes first. May change my mind, especially if he struggles a little.

    Williams couldn't do it. He doesn't keep a distance and he's very sloppy offensively and defensively. Oscar would find the mark with his much harder and more accurate shots.

    Cotto, PBF and Vernon Forrest assuming Vernon doesn't completely fall apart in this fight.

    Corey Stinks would give him a tough fight.

    After watching how Mayorga sliced and diced Forrest its funny to see him on the list. Mosley would be competitive but its 50/50 since Oscar won (world consensus) second fight. I would say Mayweather has best chance followed by Winky. Other than that I think he can outhustle Cotto and hope I never have to watch a Spinks fight vs Anyone.

    Mayorga mind ****ed Forrest...could Oscar take Forrest's best shots, dance through them and threw vicious haymakers?

    Cory Stinks isn't fun to watch (or all that good) but he is a nasty fighter for anyone to try and take on.

    well id favour winky to beat him if he could get down to 154 again.

    mayweather
    cotto, dzinziruk, alcine and simms are 50/50 fights with oscar maybe oscar to win.

    he is naturally bigger than cotto and people are forgetting how good he went with mayweather and what he did to mayorga. he is still better than you think

    PBF
    Forrest
    Spinks
    Cotto maybe because he gets hit a lot and might not be able to take Oscar's power.
    Mosley maybe he's slipped more than OScar has IMO.

    Pimp I don't see how Stinks is a better candidate to beat ODLH than Cotto.

    I mean...could you REALLY see Spinks cherry picking his way to a 12 round DECISION over Oscar?

    Yes I could, Spinks would give Oscar fits with his style. He has great movement a great jab and fast hands not to mention he's a southpaw with long arms and about the same height as Oscar is. Spinks is a smart fighter who is underrated here primarily because people don't like his style. I would tip Spinks to beat Oscar. He would beat Oscar to the punch pick at him with his great jab and fustrate him with his superior footwork.

    I don't see Spinks being active enough to get a decision from Oscar.

    You gotta remember it's one thing to win the fight, it's another thing for the judges to see it that way. Oscar is THE name...if Spinks doesn't convincingly WIN the rounds, he won't get the call.

    I'd figure ODLH would get one of those 116-112 decisions.
