After the Margarito fight, HBO's Larry Merchant reported that Oscar was moving back to 147. I think this is the best thing to happen to him in a long time. He is a killer at 147. The only thing is, who does he fight? With Margarito/Cotto falling through, it looks like Sugar Shane is gonna get Cotto. With all due respect to Cintron and Paul Williams, the only fight that makes sense is Cotto. However, I don't see Shane waiting any longer or stepping aside. So the question is, who makes sense for Oscar to fight at 147, and who would just be entertaining as hell to fight at 147?
I believe Cotto has the best chance to beat Mayweather.
Mosley would be a close second but knowing Mayweather he'll wait till Mosley is old and then fight him.
the real boxing fans want to see Floyd fight someone who's a threat to knock him out. hatton isn't at 147, which is why he's #1 on floyd's list of fighters to fight. cotto or mosely are the next 2 best 147 lb'ers and would each be the toughtest fight of floyd's career.
oh and oscar should and maybe will fight hatton in england for the largest amout of money any boxer has ever seen
yea but floyd dont want any part of those good oppononts. well I can see him taking a fight with cotto.
STFU about Floyd and his retirement already, you say it in damn near every one of your posts. Anyway the real boxing fans want to see Floyd/Hatton not Hatton/Oscar

Oscar doesn't want Mayweather or Shane.
I believe that Oscar is trying to stop the Hatton/Mayweather fight from happening by luring Hatton up to 147 to fight him. And then Mayweather will fight Oscar's business parter Shane Mosley. Which is a way better fight than Mayweather/Hatton.

Exactly, your speaking the truth.
Like many other posters said, Oscar may be targeting Shane.
there is no $$$$ invlove vs quintana, like i said the only ones would be either hatton or cotto, a fight with either one would generate decent $$$....if DLH fights hatton floyd should just stay retired....like he said

Oscar is full of it he wants the rematch vs Mayweather is that he doesnt want it to be that hyped up like last time because why would he make the move to welterweight that is what i think
Oscar will be a year older, He's stupid for taking that sort of time off. He'll only get slower, he needs a tune up or something. Him coming back down to 147 is a great way to get away from Winky Wright, who would make Oscar look stupid. I want Oscar to stop ruining boxing with his shitty fights and fuck off.
Oscar should fight Quintana.
The one Cotto beat up.

If Mayweather is fighting Hatton (i think Oscar wants Hatton too) and Shane is fighting Cotto, Oscar will either have to steal one of these fights or content for not so much money. I'm almost sure he wants Hatton. He can beat Hatton for sure and after PBF beats Hatton, hatton wont be a big draw anymore.
But he should retire after whatever fight he's planning. He has done enough. don't be another gatti having to get beaten by a contender (the show) fighter to realize it. Also Shane Mosley should retire not fight Cotto. And One more to PBF and he too should retire. PBF should realize he wont make nearly as much money if he loses just one time.. And time catches up to everyone.
Can he please just retire. He clearly has seen his best days and even then he never won the big fights so why would he win now? He just messes up good potential fights because everybody wants in on that $ so champs will fight him even if there is a much better fight out there. If you are a fan of DLH I understand you want your guy to continue, but if you are a fan of the sport then he is doing us no good (yes I know his the most recognizable boxer but I have accepted the reality that boxing is a fringe sport right now). Frankly I think that if boxing started actually promoting the best fights more people would be drawn back.
No Oscar is not in his Prime anymore but who 147 do you see dominating the goldenboy. Oscar can beat any of the top contenders at 147 cept for PBP.
