Now who should De La Hoya fight?

[Shalafi]

He should give Tony a fight, since Tony has been calling his ass out for years.

[Clegg]

I rate Winky higher than Forrest but de la Hoya simply did not look good at 160. If 154 is the weight that he wants to fight at then Forrest is the best opponent at that weight (unless Winky can get back down to 154?).

Oscar won't fight Vernon Forrest, but if Mora beats Forrest he'll make that fight the next day.

and that would be wrong why???........i mean Mora would have beaten the guy most people wanted Oscar to fight........so why the **** not.....

I never said anything about it being wrong, I just predicted that would be Oscar's course of action. If Mora won he would still be undefeated and his profile would be considerably enhanced. That fight would do very well in LA or Las Vegas. Forrest doesn't have an appealing style and isn't worth **** at the gate.

oh, im not saying oscar should fight winky(i also believe winky can make a catchweight between 154 and 160 at most)....im pissed however that people want a fight with Forrest and then dismiss a fight with Winky....that is ******ed, Forrest hasnt beaten anyone in 5 years...Bladomir looked like **** after his fight with Forrest, almost losing to a journeyman...Piccirillo is a runner who went in there to try and survive....Quartey really beat him(which is why Ike got the fight with Wright)...who has Forrest beat that makes him this overhyped...

Hell, I thought Winky beat Hopkins. Its kind of a shame that no one gives Winky credit for the Quartey win too.

but I would like the Vernon Forrest fight much more because
1. Seems like it would be more exciting
2. I wouldnt know the winner, this could be a fight Oscar could actually win.
3. Has an interesting story behind it, because of the whole deal with Mosley
4. Would actually be between the top guys at 154lbs, which would be nice to see for once at that weight
5. It would have a title involved.

Well you can call me a hater but Forrest hasn't beaten anybody good but Mosley.

Winky beat Mosley and Tito like they were some 3rd-tier sparring partners. I mean Tito didn't even win a second in that fight.

How can anyone call you a hater when you are telling the truth? Winky has more star power, it's a question of him agreeing on the weight and of course the money split.

Get outa here with your ****** ass Vernon post, he'll lose to Sergio this weekend, he's history man.

welll those are actually good points...i have no probelm with oscar fighting forrest...i have a problem with o=people saying "who wants to see oscar vs winky??, he should fight forrest!!"


i wouldnt put my hopes on it being exciting though, forrest will want to throw 1-2 and clinch all night.....at least winky stand in your face, your own damn fault if you cant break his defense....

oh cool, im sorry, im just fired up....right now....im seeing everything as an attack.......

No problem. If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that Oscar still fights Floyd in September as planned. The timing of all this seems to me like a ploy by Mayweather.

if mora wins tomorrow (im crossing my fingers for it to happen), its gonna be dlh vs mora
in dodger stadium in front of 60000 people......
