    Maybe he just wants to be Oscar's last fight, hoping Oscar doesnt look bad in the next one, or even if there is not another one, still Oscar's farewell fight will have extra money in it by default.

    How would Oscar say no to that amount of money, will he say “he lost his shot”?

    ...
    Money-hungry bastards (I would probably do the same though)

      delajoto should be banned from fighting anyone that is not in his weight class. fighting PBF, SSM, GATTI, ETC. then challenging HATTON, PACMAN! COME-ON PEOPLE, THIS IS A CRIME, TO LET THIS FIGHTER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LESSER SKILLED, SMALLER NO RISK FIGHTER (FORBES) FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING MONEY, WHILE RISKING THE LIFE OF A HUMAN BEING. "THANK GOD HE LOSES TO MOST OF CHALLENGES"

        Fighting the winner of the monster July showdown between Miguel Cotto and Tony Margarito would be a heck of a way to cap off an extraordinary career. Oscar has fought them all. He fought Tito when he was a wrecking ball unbeaten welterweight in a huge showdown, a Bernard Hopkins who had looked virtually infallible for around a decade, pound-for-pounders like Pernell and Floyd Mayweather, titans like Ike Quartey and Fernando Vargas. If he were to dethrone Cotto, who I favour over Margarito, it would be the perfect ending (I guess beating Floyd would be greater, but this will suffice!)
        Quartey had already been stripped of his Titles for twice failing to defend against Andre Pestraev for health reasons.. Oscar was his first fight in over a year.

        Ike was hardly a "Titan" when Oscar fought him.

        Oscar didn't fight Vernon Forrest after he damn near killed Shane.

        He didn't fight Winky..and the only reason he fought Hopkins was because he thought he was too old

        Floyd Sr convinced Oscar that he could beat that "old man"

          Agreed. Think of it this way. Oscar fightling Pac would look like that tub of Lard James "Lights out because my sugar is low" Toney getting in the ring with Oscar. Just silly talk.

            Oscar just wants to regain his mexican hero-ness by defeating the Mexican assassin.

            I would like him if never beat up an old done for Julio Cesar Chavez

              .
              So, did Oscar TAKE the title from Felix Sturm?
