    His status is secure. He should fight Forrest.

    He should of retired years ago. He's pretty much a freak show now.

    He's just a cash cow for fighters today.

    Oscar had two choices after Mayweather, to stay relevant or to make meaningless fights. His fight with Forbes he excused by it being a tune up for a rematch with Mayweather, after that fell through he told the press constantly that he wanted to be in a real war at 147 and fight the winner of Marg/Cotto. When the wrong guy won he picked Pacquaio!!!!!

    With this type of behaviour he should retire.
    He should of fought Marg straight after Forbes and not one year later which makes a difference on his 35 year old body. The truth is I think he missed the last bus to do something great this late in his career.

    He should continue.

    C'mon, you know you want him to fight on...either you want him get KO'd or you want him to deliver the KO.

    He gives color to the boxing world! Something to talk about when everything's dull...

    He should fight on. He makes non-boxing fans watch boxing, and the sport needs him. So far, no one can replace him.

    Why not?, he can still bring major fights whether he wins or loses. I have a feeling a figt with Margarito could be next.

    Yes, if he wins then why shouldn't he take the massive fight with Hatton? I'm on about from his point of view, not the boxing purists.
