    In order for Oscar to get a win he has had to stoop so low as to fight a lightweight to go out with a win. He has lost 4 out of his last 6 fights (yes he lost to Sturm) and his only two wins in his last 6 were against a prelim fighter in Forbes and a way overrated over the hill fighter in Mayorga.
    And now he is fighting a guy who weighed 135 lbs in his last fight, 5 lbs over his normal fighting weight and it showed. Pac was slower due to the extra poundage. And now it's not 5 lbs, heavier, it's 17 lbs heavier. Anda Boxing Commission is letting this farce happen. What the hell is going on. Oscar spouts off how he is going to clean up the sport and then turns around and pulls this **** adding to boxings bad name. Not only is it adding making boxing look like what wrestling has become I think he will find out that in the years to come it will tarnish his legacy. P eople are going to start looking at his resume more closely and realize Oscar has fought smaller guys in most of his career fightys, having fighters step up a weight division or 2 to fight him. And no one wil deserve that more than Oscar himself. A middleweight fighting a lightweight. :lol: :lol: :lol:
    Oscar has done it again!

    Mistake on DLH's part as he should've fought Antonio Margarito or someone like Vernon Forrest (which I would've like to seen), but instead he chooses to fight Pac.. Either for the easy win or for the big payday, but hey.. He can lose this fight IMO, and that would be even more damaging to him..

    Your signature suggest you're a big Pacquiao. I know where you are man, I thought Barrera could beat Pacquiao in the rematch. My fanism blinded me. The same is happening to you. When you see the brutal left hook putting Pacquiao on ***** street, just embrace it.

    It's funny when people try to justify this fight by saying "well Pacquiao and Roach called Oscar out!!". Wow, someone calling out a big name, that's something new. :lol:

    Or bringing up DLH fighting Hopkins. Yeah, going up 4 pounds to fight someone at a catchweight, is really the same as a guy new to lightweight challenging a junior middleweight. :roll:

    I'm glad someone made this thread. I hadn't thought of it this way before. You're right, Oscar is bigger than Manny and it is wrong for him to make this fight. Unethical.

    This is one fight people should boycott, this one stinks worse than the Hopkins fight where the result was never in doubt. Ridiculous in the extreme.

    Oscar did a quick interview on ESPN and he was asked why he would fight Pac when he is the smaller man.

    Hoya's answer was; " because Pac challenged me".

    I think the next statement suggested that other fighters are challenging him too..

    Hoya went on to talk up the fight and how great it will be.

    I thought to myself ' WEAK '

    DLH-Forrest is one fight I'd have liked to see. Sort of a Lewis-Tyson situation of two past-their-prime boxers meeting up at last.

    DLH can lose or lose from this fight: either he beat a lightweight, so it means nothing; or he LOST to a lightweight, in which case it (a) finishes him as a elite boxer and (b) damages his legacy a bit. But, let's face it, this one is ALL about the money!

    Oscar doesn't really care, he knows people will tune in and buy this fight so he's just going to sign for anything as long as he knows it will make money. The fight is a joke to the hardcore boxing fans but the casuals(who are far more) will still tune in and that's what he cares about.

    I think this fight is pretty messed up but i hate when people say its a former 106 pounder vs a light middleweight.

    The statement should actually be more like this
    "Its a former 106 pounder vs a former super featherweight"
    Still ****ed up but hey if you are going to hate do it right.

    That's long in the past for both.

    The proper way to say it should be "a welter/jr. middleweight is fighting a jr. lightweight/lightweight".

    I hope the fight does poorly in the ratings.
