not a DLH fan but...why would you want him to fight a prime fighter that could obviously beat him? Margo wont get the credit he deserves if they did fight. Prime Margo being the same weight as Shot DLH is only beneficial to Margo or any fighter that is equal to DLH's size. If you guys want him to fight Margo just so Margo can collect his biggest paycheck, then that i will understand.
De La Hoya even bringing Williams into the discussion regarding Margarito is extremely gutless. Alot of people would pick Quintana over Williams in a third fight, yeah, the best Welterweight... Uh huh.. Sure. That's way more than disputed. Oscar should read his own magazine, Margarito is the #1 rated in the division.
Against Trinidad, Oscar still ran three rounds to avoid risking getting ko'd and lost by decision. Again, he avoided the risks. But I will acknowledge Oscar did take on those challenges at that time, however, those days are gone and he should admit it. Not to mention, We are talking about two different versions of Oscar here. There is the fighter and the promoter. The OScar that this thread is about and that most are criticizing is the promoter. The fighter has been dormant and tucked away in his closet for a long time. The promoter, on the other hand, is the one that comes out with a new fighter each day as a potential next bout to cause a supposed "buzz" in the boxing world. Remember, he supposedly wanted the winner of Cotto/Margarito. He also promised Margarito a fight if he ever became champion. This is not to mention he also wanted a fight with Ricky Hatton. Then, a possibility against Sergio Mora (against who?), but yet Margarito no, no. Then he had said that he didn't want to fight AM after he defeated Cotto, because he didnt want to end his career fighting another Mexican. That tune was then changed to saying that it was disrespectful to Paul Williams to call Margarito the best welterweight, and that he felt that Margarito still has some unfinished business with Paul Williams. But yet, he just calls out Paul Williams on Telefutura, stating he wants to fight the best welterweight? He doesn't want to disrespect Williams, but its ok to disrespect Margarito? Make up your mind DLH.
The reason he is terrified of Margarito is simple. Can anyone put a photo up of Cotto's bloodied face after the Margarito fight?
i personally dont wanna see margo vs oscar, i mean it would be great for margo, but not for boxing or oscar hahahahahahahahaha.... and **** all this "oscar deserves it ****", it aint like he's a poor kid living on the streets.....the man has so much money that he probably wont be able to spend it all in his lifetime.....so why **** with the sport like that, the very same sport that made you who you are.....that's my real problem here and to top it off, he's not only eating crow by going against margo when he faced cotto, but he himself said he would fight the winner....now he wants to throw in paul williams name......that alone probably gave williams a hard on and will probably now wait for oscar too....****, i wouldn't be surprised if paul williams is slipping on hiw own jizz right now just cause oscar mentioned his name...
Are you a fight fan or somebody working at GBP?? If DLH feels too old to fight then retire, but if he wants to fight, he shouldn't insult boxing fans with this Barnum and Bailey bull****.
Lets face it, Oscar is a pantyhose wearing Panzy. He is a chicken and he will never face Margarito. This from a former Delahoya fan. He should just step out of boxing. Retire Oscar.
It's ****ing pathetic. I'm really disappointed in Oscar, I mean, how many more people is he going to duck? Paez Molina Ruelas Hernandez Leija Chavez 2x Gonzales Whitaker Camacho Rivera Quartey Carr Trinidad Mosley 2x Vargas Hopkins Mayweather
Fighting these guys does NOT mean he isn't scared to face Margarito. No way. The situation and DLH's comments up to the fight and after, are what make him look scared of Margarito. "I'll fight the winner..." "I pick Cotto to win..." "I'll never fight a Rican..." "I don't want to face a Mexican..." "I'll face Mora..." "Margarito isn't the best WW, Williams is..." All bull**** excuses to keep his face clean.
it just shows why the welterweight division is the best DLH has become a smart businessman... he wants to go out with a win... margarito, williams, or even cotto are a big threat to this... something is telling me DLH is already thinking of fighting in the future, even after his propose retirement in December... a devastating loss against any of these guys could hurt his image esp. if he wants to return after his long vacation which I would call instead of retirement...
