Forbes, Malignaggi Receive De La Hoya Nods

[dino]

he'll probably take malganaggi because he's a boxer, but with soft hands. I actually have MLAGANAGGI winning a round or few before he gets knocked out

[warp1432]

I realize the word tune up, but why not a 154 tune up?

Maybe someone like Baldomir or Ouma. I'd think Oscar could beat Ouma.

he wants to look spectular and a 154 pound fighter wouldn't make him look like that he doesn't think. Chavez JR would be a good fight.

[brently1979]

Why doesn't Oscar just fight Gatti again. LOL.

[MJ406]

good choice. lol

if it really comes down to who takes less money. I would have to say I see Forbes vs De La Hoya taking place in May

because Paulie if you missed his post fight interview said he's after the big fights .. and he specifically cited wanting Ricky Hatton

so I really doubt for short money Paulie would take a fight, and be a part of De La Hoya's tuning up bout.

[Sweet Pea]

I gotta say the build up to De La Hoya/Malignaggi would be entertaining.

No lie! Ha Ha

No one can beat Paulie in the ****-talking department.

Ah Oscar Please Stop It.......

Now this is getting ridiculous!!! Oscar leave the little guys alone!!!! Neither one of those guys could punch their way out of a paper bag.... If Oscar is truly looking to fight an opponent at the welterweight divison that migt resemble Floyd for a tuneup, then Oscar needs to fight his business partner Shane Mosley...Oh wait he might lose for a third time...This is now bordering on WWE level, just when boxing was starting to make a come back, we get this big fat U-Turn!!!

[jakyah]

Oscar ain't nothing but a business man. Name me 1 top fighter that he beat when they was at the top of their game. I'll tell you Ike Quartey,and in my opinion he lost that fight. Love Mayweather, but they will not get my 50 plus for the next ppv. No Cotto,Cintron, Williams. These guys outta be ashamed. They will never go down as the best without beating them guys. Hell give Spinks and Forrest a shot.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

This is ****** if he takes either of these 2 fighters, 2 JW's who aren't even the best at that weight or near the p4p rankings. I'd rather see him fight Chavez Jr.

I think the point of fighting Malinaggi or Forbes is because they represent close to the same style as Mayweather. Ricky Hatton I think used Forbes as one of his sparring partners before the Mayweather fight, it didn't help him out, but the point was to have somebody in there that was similar to Money May. Chavez Jr. wouldn't be a good simulation of Mayweather and since DLH is pretty gung ho on trying to beat Mayweather. Fighting Chavez Jr. wouldn't make sense. I would like to see him face Malinaggi because the buildup would be pretty cool, but I bet he goes with Forbes. He kind of owes Forbes anyway with him getting robbed on a GBP card.

I hate drag queen. I hope PM doesnt take this fight.
