    mosley had fought one time at 154 before, a no contest, after losing his last 2 fights to forrest @ 147. oscar had won 3 fights @ 154.

    Ruelas?

    Oscar had been a 135 lb fighter since the beginning of his career. he went to 130 for 2 fights. he even fought close to 140 in a fight early in his career.

    mago was an 135 lb. champ for mainly the same time as oscar was. he just fought over the limit after he got that gift against murphy because he was probably too lazy to make the limit, but his big fights even after the dlh fight were at 140 for the next couple years.

    guys fight above the limit fairly frequently in non-title bouts.

    now tell me, is the list of oscar fighting smaller guys moving up NOT considerably longer than tito's?

    you left out mosley, and leija. when chavez was actually fight a serious fight for a belt, and not being a fat overwieght alcoholic, he fought at 140.

    that makes it 6, or 7 if u count chavez.

    way longer than the list of tito, is it not?

    STFU you got owned!

    Oscar took on better fighters than anyone in his era. He took on fighters without losing streaks, he took on more P4P champs and only a very small handfull moves up but they were all P4Pers with the exception of Gatti!

    just because an oscarsexual agrees with you, it doesn't make it so.

    now tell me, is oscar's list of guys moving up in weight to fight him, of a half-dozen, not longer than trinidad's?

    hernandez was not a p4p fighter when he moved up to fight dlh.

    neither was molina or leija, or now forbes. neither was mosley the 2nd time around.

    mayweather and mosley (first fight) were.

    I never picked Mayorga to beat DLH. I thought he was going to give him a decent scrap but never did I pick Mayorga to win. He was damaged goods already after the beating Tito gave him. Dont act like you know me. :yep

    Ok If You Must Know Nobodys Hating On Dlha Just Disapointed In His Pick For A Tune Up If You Thought He Beat The Crap Out Of Gatti Just Watch What He's Going To Do To Forbes Simply Put He Could've Picked A Tuffer Opponent Or At Least A True Ww Maybe He Felt Bad After Forbes Got Robbed In The D-hop Fight But Fighting Forbes Just Dont Make Any Sense. The Differance With Tito Vs Mayorga Was Atleast Mayorga Had A Punchers Chance And You Knew They Were Going To War. To Compare A Trini Mayorga To Delahoya Forbes Is Just Dumb If You Ask Me.

    Nobody in their right mind wants to see a rematch that everyone already knows Floyd will win, plus won't be all that exciting to watch, and apparently the only thing standing in the way of that fight happening is Forbes. Those people are hoping for something, anything to stop the rematch from happening, but unfortunately Forbes ain't it. Mayweather should be fighting Cotto, it's the fight everyone truly wants to see.

    First: Everyone doesn't alreday know Floyd will win. A lot of people THINK Floyd will win. In boxing nothing is for sure. If Corley was able to hurt PBF I'm sure DLH has that punchers chance. Not only that, but it is obvious Oscar can change strategy and beat PBF my mixing up his game plan. On the other hand PBF can beat DLH by figuring his game plan, but FLOYD is NOT invincible by ANY means.

    Secondly: I don't understand why ******s want to stop the rematch from happenning. How can people be so pathetic, ignorant and selfish? So let them have their fight, who cares? DLH and PBF deserve each other so they can make more money, they have put in their dues in the ring and on camera. They hurt themselves for a living, we enjoy it, as a true boxing fan I want fighters even if they are filthy rich to get richer. PBF isn't fighting anyone else anyway and that brings up my thrid point.

    Arum and Evangelist will not throw Cotto against PBF, not now. So don't expect Cotto vs PBF because Cotto will be protected from PBF.
