What do you think punky boys??
Would you like to see the golden boy lace the gloves up once again?? Who would you like to see him fight???
Thoughts?
I hope Oscar doesn't come back though, both he and Trinidad had their last fights back in 2008, so if they both stay on course, they will both get inducted into the hall of fame together. I think that would Make for a great story.
I might get shot down for this one but I think the only two fights of intrest in my opinion regarding Oscar is either against:
1.Trinidad
2.Chavez Jr
I think a Hoya/Trinidad rematch would blow the roof of the MGM grand with all the Mexican/Puerto Rican/American/ fans in the stand and plus you get to watch two legends go to war for at least one more time.
Chavez Jr. The implications for Chavez jr are as the following:
Revenge for Chavez Sr
Big PPV event for Jr
All in all though I perfer the first possibility since I think it would have an easier time getting made as opposed to Chavez jr/Cotto/Margarito since they are all under Top Rank and so forth.
One of the few honest statements He made to Ortiz was telling him HE WAS DONE, FINISHED. He was done then and ten times more now.
Stay home and take care of your wife and kids instead of cross dressing and getting drunk and hi. That should be his mission.
I hope he comes back and whoops on Chavez Jr.
My brain however is telling me he's either taking a dive against Alvarez or Khan though.
That's why i'm saying he can use the "i'm coming out of retirement for one last fight" story, to sell a fight if he ever comes back from retirement.
Yeah and he can also use the drug thing to get sympathy from the fans to buy the PPV.
It all makes sense.
Didn’t he do that with Pac?
And what was the end-result there?
Pacquiao was not planned to be his last fight, and it was not sold ot be his last fight either. He had been active by fighting Mayweather and Forbes, and wanted Mayweather again. Then that fell through and he "wanted" the winner of Margarito-Cotto, which he probably thought would be Cotto. He promised the winner a fight. Margarito won, DLH got scared and started saying things like Paul Williams is next, to save face for ducking Margarito. He said Williams is a possibility. Then Roach said DLH can't pull the trigger anymore and that Pacquiao can beat him at 147. There was already a bit of bad blood because of business between DLH and Pacquiao in which Pacquiao verbally agreed and shook hands to sign with GBP but then signed to Top Rank. DLH used all of this to set up a fight between him and Pacquiao. But before that he was saying Pacquiao was too small, it was after Roach said DLH can't pull the trigger. Basically Roach got Pacquiao that fight. I thin Larry Merchant either started the talks or he kept throwing fuel to the fire by saying he'd like to see that fight.
Point is, no DLH did not say anything about Pacquiao being his last fight prior to the fight. It was after the fight that he retired. And this situation does not compare to what happened in 2007-2008 with DLH, Forbes, and Pacquiao. In this case DLH has been inacctive/retired for nearly 3 years, which he wasn't retired for 3 years or even 1 years when fought Pacquiao. That's why i'm saying he can use the "i'm coming out of retirement for one last fight" story, to sell a fight if he ever comes back from retirement.
Truth is, it doesn't matter who says no. A DLH comeback PPV against a top 10 154 or 160 guy would sell a million PPV's, close to it, or even more.
I'd like to see him go out with a W. Just come back for one last pro fight and make a big promotion using the "last one" act.
Didn’t he do that with Pac?
And what was the end-result there?
I think delahoya and jermain Taylor at 160? Might be good because they both are big names and delahoya looks reeeeally heavy so he might want to lose weight slowly to see where he's at... Winnable fight for either i think, but if he wants money then a fight at 154 with Marg or Mosley or Cotto. I think Chaves Jr would be too scared to hit his boss lol.
Chavez Jr is with Toprank not Goldenboy
