Why Oscar WILL Fight Margarito!!!

I don't think so either. Oscar would need huge money to take the gamble and Margarito's name just isn't big enough to bring it in. But Sergio Freakin Mora's name is??? Oscar is just scared to fight Tony. Tony must have put them hands on him during those sparring sessions.

i dont think it will happen... but it would be a great fight while it last.... I don't think so either. Oscar would need huge money to take the gamble and Margarito's name just isn't big enough to bring it in.

I think, at this point in Oscars career he'd eventually fold in the later rounds. He's always been one to fade in the later rounds, but imagine if he had someone pressuring him the entire fight! That being said, I think Oscar being a master boxer with POWER would be able to make Maragrito respect him early and hopefully make Margarito start slow which has been his slight downfall and ride the later rounds. Either way it has the potential of being a tremendous fight... here's to hoping.

im reviving my old thread. i knew the pac deal would fall through. oscars conscience will not allow him to duck anyone. this fight will happen yet!!!

Oscar won't fight him. He'll tell Margarito that they have to do it at 160. And Margarito has to tie his hands behind his back. Ha! Ha! Ha! That's a good one!!!

DLH is going nowhere near margarito. margarito has established himself as the premiere force at 147. DLH couldn't get margarito's respect and he'd tire just like cotto did if not sooner. fukk. Oscar is a millionaire many times over and should not step back in the ring with the likes of Tony. Oscar looked average against Forbes who is nothing. Why put yourself one punch away from a cerebral hemorhage? De La Hoya previously said he would be reluctant to take on another Mexican fighter - particularly one who rearranges faces like Margarito does.

in the post fight conference, arum talked about how the ppv numbers might change the minds of all the guys who were planning on avoiding margarito, including one mr. de la hoya.... the numbers were huge and the majority of buyers were mexican. a mexican war is inevitable. its happening boys and girls. mark my words. than he can lay williams to rest next. i have bought and stamped my ticket on the margarito hype train! all aboard!

All the rumors in the Cali gyms are that Margs worked DLH in sparring and gave him complete hell. pretty much sums it up... dlh already has "fought" margartio... he knows already what cotto is feeling.. there is now way he is gonna want to endure that without the headgear....

There is no way oscar would fight marg. No way in hell. If he did he would get his ass whooped. IMHO. I would love to watch it tho!

I'd pick Oscar. He won't make Cotto's mistakes. I still think Oscar will make beating Marg look easy. I think oscar has more left than people think. I think Flyod was actually scared of what he would look like after Floyd Sr. trained him to fight him.... The Margarito fight could be AMMMMAAAAZZZZZIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!!!!

I know what he is saying now- that he is not interested in fighting any Mexicans, but here is why he will likely change his mind. First of all: anyone who knows oscar knows that there has to be some drama before sealing up a fight deal and date. that is just his style. when he says that the public can not have something, it is usually a business ploy to get mouth's watering, because everyone wants what they can't have! My second point concerns Oscar's competitive spirit... When has DLH NOT wanted to fight the best?!?!?!?!?. just look at his resume.... Sweat Pea, JCC, B-Hop, Sugar Shane, Ike Quartey, Floyd, Tito, Vargas, the all-time great stevie '2 Pound' forbes (j/k). The only reason Pac is even in the picture now is because he is the lb for lb #1 right now, but DLH knows that this fight is ludacris... Also, Oscar has always wanted to be recognized as a true Mexican warrior. In the Tito match, he had his chance to gain favor in the eyes of Mexicans, but he ran, lost the match, and the respect of Mexicans instead. Instead of gaining him popularity with the mexican people, his two demolitions of JCC actually backfired on him and caused him to be hated... this will not be the case though against margarito, because oscar will be the past-his-prime fighter this time around. instead of being viewed as the young stud who picked on an old man and hero of the mexican people, he will be the underdog this time.... if he wins, it is heroic. if he gets destroyed, he becomes a martyr for the mexican people- b/c he will have sacrificed his well-being for them.... by beating Margarito- he can prove that he is a true mexican warrior. he will have the opportunity to go out on top by beating "the most feared man in boxing" - a guy who was ducked by two of oscar's conquerors- shane and floyd. a guy who just defeated one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world in cotto, who had himself beaten his two-time-conqueror shane mosley. Oscar also can stand to make a lot of money and sell a lot of tickets if this fight is in LA. There is a huge Mexican population in LA and Margarito is from Tiajuana which is not that far of a trip. the numbers will be like any other de la hoya fight- astronomical! This is the best fight out there for Oscar right now and if he doesnt realize it now, he will be the end of the next two weeks. Mark my words... Oscar will fight Margarito!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - By the way, I love De La Hoya, but I think I may be leaning towards a Margarito victory at this stage in De La Hoya's career... dlh doesn't have the legs to beat margarito these days.

i never said that marg can beat de la hoya but cmon marg power shots are brutal he would definately leave some bruises in de la hoya and de la hoya aint man enough to fight him even one round

God i hope this fight happens but i doubt DLH will be man enough to take it. and to be honest i wouldnt completely hold it against him because margarito would destroy him. de la hoya sucks against body punchers and he hasnt always had great stamina much less now thats its pretty much crap. margarito by tko in 8. come on though DLH be a man and fight margarito!!!!!!!

If stevie forbes could swell some parts of de la hoya's face then margarito would definately leave that shit cut,dam sure he can win by decision but he's going to have a not so golden boy face after the fight That's a stupid analogy, Forbes is a much better boxer than Marg and is much faster. I just think that DLH would have a better chance than people would give him. He's not 5'7" like Cotto, he's 5'11" just like Margarito. He would be able to use his jab more effectively and follow with the right hand or left hook. The only thing I can see working against DLH would be his conditioning. Marg doesn't stop coming and I don't know if DLH has one more left in him to be able to box for 12 rounds.

And ruin that pretty boy face of his? No way. This is risky fight for Oscar. not the kind of match you want as your last.

Call me crazy, but I think that DLH can beat Marg. He is 5'11" himself and a much better boxer that Cotto is. I'd pick Oscar. He won't make Cotto's mistakes. I still think Oscar will make beating Marg look easy.

Tony did call out De la Hoya yesterday night he told him live that De la Hoya publically said that hell fight cotto,margarito,pacman, or mora

i just cant see de la hoya risking his last fight for his prettyboy face after last night fight...

If stevie forbes could swell some parts of de la hoya's face then margarito would definately leave that shit cut,dam sure he can win by decision but he's going to have a not so golden boy face after the fight well- thats just one more way he endears himself to the people as a true fighter. sacrificing the face that has led him to cheese out and attract criticism. from modeling, to his album, to the ridiculously titled cards he fought one such as "Painfully Handsome." If he comes out with a shattered jaw, busted nose, has to wear an eye patch for the rest of his life- people will give him that respect, lol. ok, so im obviously kidding about that, but bring this fight on!!!! this is the one we all want to see. fuck floyd. let him stay retired and continue making the most awful music I have ever heard.... seriously, macho man randy savage could cut that fool in a freestyle battle...
