oscar de la hoya can like the proverbial nutsack
fact of the matter is he will be fighting forbes if any of the three actually pan out
he just threw it maliggnaggis name to create the illusion that he is considering fighting a legit guy... salita? lol. probably just a ploy to get his name out there, lord knows oscar doesent want to feel the wrath of the Juras-a-slam
Which is why he is fighting a tune up against someone he can beat, why dont people comprehend that.
For the same reason we can't comprehend why he would put on a wig, fishnets and high heels and straddle a bath tub for some chewed up stripper, like a little bitch.
And then tell the world what a warrior he is by calling out feather fisted jr welter weights half his size.
so, enlighten us boxing sage.....
Malignaggi is a bigger puncher as well. He would probably stop Oscar.
Better to let the world believe you are an idiot and a moron than to open your mouth and remove all doubt...
He chose three light hitting JWWs, two of them extremely feather fisted, and hes making them move up 10 pounds. Forbes and Malignaggi's punches will feel like slaps.
If this is true, Oscar is pathetic. Stevie Forbes?
Malignaggi would have a chance to surpise though, De La Hoya is trash against slick boxers. Any time he faces anybody with a good jab he looks like a robot. The only thing is, Malignaggi is a JRW and DLH is a super middleweight...
BTW, maybe those alleged photos of Oscar are true......seeing he's gonna fight like a girl

Some of you are so hateful people. After the pbf hoya fight you said all floyd was fighting were old people, now he fights hatton and you say fight a real ww but you forget cotto in only an inch taller than hatton and fought most of his career as a junior ww too! fuck you i say it. if i was floyd i'd retire now and never give you a cotto fight (which would be brought down too ever easier cuz cotto has had trouble with 36 year olds and shot fighters oh and him too is a junior ww).
Lets see, Mayweather is smaller and quicker than Delahoya, so why wouldnt he fight a smaller, quicker guy? Which welterweights or bigger fight similar to Mayweather and would serve as a tune-up? I guess Corey Spinks could work, but does anyone really want to see that guy fight on TV again. And someone like Zab is a legitimate contender, not someone you fight to try things out on. A tune-up is a fight that gets you ready for a bigger fight, since that bigger fight is already set, hes going to pick someone with similarities to Mayweather so he can try things out and see how his body feels at the lower weight, i swear some of yall just love to hate with out even analyzing the situation.
Does anyone understand what the phrase 'tune up fight' actually means? These are all fringe world class guys, yeah sure they're smaller than DLH but what do you want, it's to shake the ring rust. I think it's a good idea.
The former junior middleweight champion tuning up against a feather fisted junior welter? To me unless DLH is giving his paycheck to charity, that is chickenshit. Of course the ass kissing media will let him slide.
