    Are you saying you support him fighting Mayweather? I'll buy his fights as long as he's still fighting, but I don't like him and Floyd rematching one bit. My topic is just a question on whether people will say yes or no on.

    I honestly think Hoya needs to fight Winky Wright at 154lbs. I obviously see why he is fighting Mayweather. But I really don't care to see it that much. I'm sure I'll be hyped for it as it approaches though. I'm still picking Oscar to win this one :patsch :lol:

    I don't think anyone should blame Oscar for this. If, given his recent record, any fighter would jump at the opportunity to fight the P4P champ and make $40-50 mil. The blame lays with Floyd for overlooking Cotto and the rest of "HIS" division and fighting Hoya again.

    he can fight cotto or just gtfo honestly. Theres nothing to prove against mayweather other than the fact that he can get his ass wupped again by Floyd. He should have fought Cotto a stylistic match up that he sayd "he wants to go out with"...well take the fkn fight then! He says he wants cotto for the mere leverage to get Floyd to fight him again. Its RIDICULOUS

    the crazy thing is he said he wouldnt fight pbf again because he said it felt like a sparring match..but yet he fights him again....:huh he said he wanted an all out war before he retires...fighting pbf wouldnt be an all out war..he had an okay year last year because GBP was making some pretty good fights...but now he needs to stop

    he obviously has enough in him to keep it close vs FMJ so yes i'd like to see him fight on. How many other fighters can keep it that close vs PBF? Seriously why would we be calling for him to quit when he is still that good. Shouldn't we be calling for him to retire when he can't compete anymore?

    he shouldnt retire but he needs to leave the WW division the **** alone and fight at 54...go fight some 154lbers...he should stop making WW's come up to fight him..

    Hes keeping good figthers and good fights out of the loop because of his draw right now. And i dont think he will give us meaningfull fight anymore. So for this selfish reason i want him out. Give the opportunity to one of the boxers your promoting instead Oscar.

    If Oscar is gonna fight once every 15 months and try to take away opportunities from more deserving fighters, then he should stay out.

    For the sake of boxing's future.. he needs to stop boxing and stick to promoting. He has a bigger impact in future fights as a promoter than a boxer. He's just screwing up the welterweight picture with his one fight a year bull****. No more par-time boxing. Either go full time and stay active or just promote. I'm done with Oscar fights (ordering, that is... I'll catch the replays, but he's not getting my money anymore). He should have retired after the Mayorga fight.

    I used to want to see Oscar get his last two fights in but after this whole thing with him talking about fighting Hatton, then Cotto, then Floyd it became obvious he was not going to try and go out on legacy but make money. As a promoter he would do a better job by not being in competition with fighters for top fights. He has managed to put a freeze on the whole welterweight organization that seemed to become red hot. Now we can look forward to a bunch of crappy fights rather than the king of the hill fights we thought we were gonna get.

    Oscar needs to train seriously for a change.
