    So what? The whole point is DLH still took a fight like that that is even LESS of interest then DLH vs. Margarito. And since you think DLH vs., Margarito wouldn't sell, and that being a reason it shouldn't happen, I just provided an example. Whether it was a tune up or not is irrelevant to the topic.

    He always got $$$$$. Today is no different then 10 years ago. Howver, this is getting mixed up in what was claimed. DLH said he;d fight the winner of Cotto vs. Margarito right? Before he said he'd neve fight another guy from Puerto Rico, but was obviously banking on Cotto, since he THEN said no fights vs. a Mexican. And we all kjnow he was looking at Mora (a Mexican..) for his fight. And we can add DLH saying maybe he should fight Williams instead since he beat Margarito. We both know he would never fight Williams. It doesn't take 20-20 vision to see DLH wanted no part of margarito at all. He uses fighters to keep his name relevant. And quite obviously ducked Margarito, since he did say THE WINNER of their fight would be next.

    They both sell. But Cotto sells more in New York. Think they would fight in NY? What has more of a selling point, DLH vs. Forbes or DLH vs. Margarito?

    i didnt say that it wouldnt sell at all....

    but cotto would have sold more..... which is obvious pending he won..
    so he took paqman because paqman is more recognized plus hes p4p #1....

    he only said he would fight the winner because he wanted to be politically correct... i said it forever ago that oscar wouldnt fight margarito if he won and i was right... it was purely obvious


    fam you think oscar gives a **** about margarito? he's not scared of him ill tell you that for sure... its just not looking out for the best interest of his pockets... end of story

    margarito may have been a better sell than paqman.... but paqman is more solid (less of a gamble)... what makes the fight stupid is teh size difference between the two but regardless margarito was virtually unknown until beating cotto...and yeah hes buzzing in the boxing community but out side of that nobody knows him

    ive had several of my friends (not big boxing fans) call me to say cotto would beat flyod... plus he has a puerto rican fan base which when added together with the mexican fan base equals war

    if oscar had took margarito directly after the cotto fight... nobody would have given a ****

    No, I am using the logic you dictated.

    DLH should fight Cotto because it sells more then Margarito. That's what you said.

    Well, DLH shouldve fought Margarito because its a better fight then vs. Forbes and would sell more.

    Follow? Consistency is a mutha****a isn't it.

    not bashing but its poor logic because

    floyd fought forbes as a warm up fight...
    not only was it a warm up fight but it was a warmup fight to simulate floyd mayweather..

    not only would marg be a real ROUGH fight but it wouldnt simulate floyd mayweather in any way shape or form.....

    that fight didnt have anything to do with money... it had to do with getting oscar mentally and physically prepared for floyd

    You mean DLH fought Forbes. And again, if it's about selling, which is the deal you made, being a tune up or not is irrelevant.

    And please, fighting Forbes did nothing to prepare DLH for Floyd. C'mon. You didn't buy that ****.:lol:

    Either way, DLH's actions and his excuse after excuse showed how badly he ducked Margarito.

    you obviously have no clue what your talking about because dlh vs forbes was on regular hbo....

    dlh doesnt care about margarito.... i guess if the definition of ducking is

    fighting a lesser fight but becoming richer in the process

    oscar ducked

    They don't,it's business.You take the risk/reward factor and size it in,most times it ain't good,some takeit,some don't.But they are fighters and should take all fights offered.

    I agree but in comparison to fighters 40-50 years ago, about 80% of todays champions are pussies, which merely means that they in many cases avoid the toughest challenges and don't really care to prove that they are the best...Think of a group of fireman that go around only putting out trash can fires instead of dealing with whatever emergency arises.

    Fighters that are a throwback to long ago:

    Paul Williams
    Israel Vazquez
    Rafael Marquez
    Joel Casamayor
    Jose luis Castillo
    Kelly Pavlik

    There are a few others, these are just examples

    if you're afraid then you're afraid, if you duck someone, you duck someone.......you can sugarcoat it with fancy words like "high risk, low reward" or "not enough money involved" but i dont like too

    just because you're a boxer, or even a great one doesn't mean you're not still a man.....and any man is acceptable to fear

    If you don't fight your mandatory challenger, you're a ducker; you let boxing and your fans down. If you're choosing to fight a lesser fighter instead of one who should be on your radar, you're avoiding him, but that doesn't mean you're letting boxing down or your fans down necessarily. You might be planning to fight him later on, for much more money. There's nothing wrong with that. This is how the business of boxing works.
