    Ask Juan M. Marquez if Manny Pac hits hard.

    Delahoya is a fighter who came from nothing to win a gold medal, and then go on to win several world championships.
    He came from the bottom and worked his way to the top as a fighter.
    He then turned business man, with more money than many of us could spend in a lifetime.
    He lost his conviction somewhere along the line.
    Or, he changed it from fighter to entrepanuer/business man.
    You can be one or the other, but not both.
    Championship caliber fighters know only one trade to make a living.
    They live , breath, and feed their family based on rankings and their next fight.
    Oscar isn't that guy anymore.
    When you have more money than you can count, "what's next?
    Let me see....."should I take another fight and get beat up and maybe win???? Or should I use my head instead of my fists and make 3 times as much?
    Make no mistake about it, Delahoya is a smart guy which is precisely why, as a fighter he should step down.
    Money makes you soft. Lack of it forces you to fight.
