    yeah, that's pretty much all tffp does, say stupid crap and use the word "yank" like it's a word that people from the modern era actually say.

    i'm pretty sure that if it is necessary to ask that question, then the answer is 'no'.

    Mayorga moved up 6 lbs, he was already fighting at 154, and they are both former welterweight champions.

    what will the weight difference be on the night of the fight. forbes will have to put rocks in his pocket to get up to 150. and dlh will be well over 160 at fight time. this fight is wrong on so many different levels. this fight is a recipe for disaster.

    Instead of Forbes, Why not Sergio Mora, The Contender Champion? Or Antonio Margarito? Now that De La Hoya is old and Feeble, He doesn't want to fight Mexicans anymore??

    Reality check II- He used too, He's not what he used to be. Plus who's the last Mexican he's fought? Vargas? Margarito would end his days in the ring and banish him to his island home, to live out his remaining days with his new countrymen.

    The thing is I think most Oscar haters are actually ex Oscar fans. That is why they are so passionate on their disliking him. Because of the quality of his opposition he has beaten many people's favorite fighter at one point. Be it Trinidad (imo), Quartey, Whitaker, Chavez, Leiga, etc..The rest are young guys that have not watched the old Oscar fights and don't know why he is so hardly regarded (these are the people that say Oscar has lost all his "big" fights. I love DLH but at the moment and think at first it was a great idea for him to enter the WW division but I thought he would have started over in the division, starting with the likes of Cintron or Margarito and fighting next for a championship position. For me, anger towards DLH comes in his completely interrupting the division and going from a guy who fought anyone to his current position as a guy who wants to fight easily beatable opponents. The thing is nothing is official yet. I don't think there would be so much Oscar hating going on if Oscar were to fight Cotto rather than Mayweather. Also, as far as the hating, I think there is a big fear that either a great boxer (DLH) or the pound for pound king will get their legacies damaged in this next fight which has no real value in boxing circles.
