What weight is Oscar Larios going to fight at now?

Oscar's too good to have been a tune up. I think a lot of people wrote him off because of the loss to Vasquez, but people don't seem to remember that was stopped on a cut. From a punch yes, but prior to that fight he was tearing it up.

hehehe! He did take manny's best punches and still left the arena walking, I think he's got some chin! I think manny could use him again as a tune up opponent.. seriously! :boxing:

I think he should try Feather before 130. Granted Manny punches like a truck at any weight, but he's not a big 130lber. I think there are some good fights for him at Feather, and hopefully more people will be tuning in.

I thought he looked very big and strong at 130 last night, and I think it goes without saying that his claim of being weakend from trying to make 122 was true. So what does he do now? I think 130 may be a big big for him (and I mean the opponents being larger and more powerful), but I think he could make some noise at Featherweight. Fights with Marquez, John, Harrison all could be win-able fights for him. Regardless of the loss last night, I think his stock went up and I'm glad to see it. He's always been a good fighter and a classy guy. he should move up to the heavyweight division

He'll need to take a few tune ups to get near another title shot, but I think aiming for John at Feather would be a good move. He's got the strength and reach to give him trouble. Yea ur right with this one, but it sure as hell shouldnt be in Indonesia. If Marquez got robbed there Larios sure as hell will too.

He's got the strength and reach to give him trouble.Chololo shall have a better than fair chance at wresting the title from John, I agree. He can be quite a figure at that weight. But in the event that he opts to fight at Jr. Lightweight, he may want to look in the direction of Baloyi after a couple of tune-ups.

I agree that he should fight at 126 and take on guys like Harrison and JMM, but I also think that if he takes up a few fights against lesser opponents as tuneups at 130 he has the strength and toughness to bang and will probably develop into a solid fighter at that weight. I always thought that Larios was a tough and good fighter, I must admit that though I knew he would be tougher for pacquiao than other people thought, I was surprised that he was able to take the punishment that he did, props to him fasho! :boxing:

Just wanna add that the Featherweight division shall begin to be one of the most exciting in a year or so: many prospects coming up!

holy $hit, I agree with King Bozo....his stock definitely rose with a 12 round performance vs. PacMan, he's a tough MoFo with damn good skills.... one problem though: 2 straight losses vs. world-class opponents, he needs a tune-up or 2 to get back on the winning track, then he should shoot for one of the belt-holders at 126, I'd make him the favorite vs. most of the top cats at 126....but he might be comfy at 130, so we'll have 2 see i agree, he can move around between those dvisions and do very well. but like you said he should regroup a bit and get some wins under his belt before taking on another champ or top 10 contender. one thing that i've noticed about larios is his punches are real long. he throws from outisde and real long shots. if he could shorten up his punches a bit maybe throw from the shoulder instead of cocking up/loading up, he'd get his shots in quicker. that and in this last fight he didn't get off as many shots as he normally does. usually he's a punching machine, this time around he threw very few punches. mostly due to the fact that pac was all over him throwing no less than 4 punch combos, that makes it tough to let your hands go. he should've been trying to move pac back instead of trying to move and evade shots, because it's hard as hell to get out of the way of manny when he's throwing like a machine gun and you can be more effective fighting manny when you're moving him backwards. manny can't fight going back, he rarely throws anything when he's moving back. other than that i think larios is a player and can bang with anyone out there no doubt.........

Larios should fight at 126.There are many good fighters at 126. JMM, Chris John, and Scott Harrison just to name a few.

I thaught he made a clear statement last night.

I have quite a few of his fights on disk, and one of the things I love about him is that even his losses are hell bent exciting fights. His loss to a younger bigger Alexis Arguello was a barn burner. Then there's the trilogy with Bobby Chacon. Helluva fighter! lets trade fights, hook me up with some bobby chancon v. ruben oliveras :boxing: You probably have the fights i have of his.... I have one where a young Chavez is a studio guest and through out the fight Chavez and two boxing experts talk about Oliveras boxing career and its funny cause you hear Chavez say "he had how many knocks!" then Chavez ego will speak and say, "yeah well me too i have a lot of kos" just funny stuff, you can tell Chavez didn't follow Oliveras career as he is just blown away by Oliveras accomplishments in the ring, its kind of funny to hear Chavez be in aw of Oliveras like a boxing fan seeing his favorite fighter, funny stuff.

I aggree. I've learned more about him through web and many people really rank him high if not the best bantamweight ever. They say he was a very feared puncher. I have some of his fights, I'll upload them if i still have them on my computer.

Yessir. One of the all time greats. :boxing: I aggree. I've learned more about him through web and many people really rank him high if not the best bantamweight ever. They say he was a very feared puncher. I have some of his fights, I'll upload them if i still have them on my computer.

Is that Ruben Oliveras in your avatar? Yessir. One of the all time greats. :boxing:

Isreal was getting the best of him early, but a lot of people talk like Oscar got stretched in that fight when in actuality it was a cut. Two losses yes, but nothing to be ashamed of in either case.
