Vernon Forrest and Winky are both too big for Oscar, especially at his age now.. De La Hoya is a fat welterweight who allowed himself to get out of shape and is the reason why he now fights where he is at..
If he can't make welter IMO he should just retire because he cant at all compete at middleweight vs anybody.
I think it's unrealistic to want him to fight Winky or Forrest though.. too much of a size difference. Y'all just hating on the guy.. I think he should have retired after Mayorga.. but since he still at it.. he should take a competitive fight that he can win, do his thing and just retire. That way he will get the final victory and last huraah hes always wanted and he can leave boxing in peace and alone.
He was trying to protect his investment of course.. if you are making money of a fighter wouldn't you want him to win? Anyway, because Oscar gave him advice doesn't mean it was bad advice or bad sparring partners.. It's that Ricky Hatton is at a lower level then Floyd and it wouldn't of help him anyway.. Someone more suitable could have used the same resources and prob done great!Comment

Wait!!!
The size difference between Oscar and Floyd is MUCH bigger than between Oscar and Winky or Oscar and Vernon.
Oscar is not a fat welterweight. Oscar moved up because he was having tough time making WW in his prime. Do you remember that he had dried out to make the Trinidad fight, and that is why he took his panties off?
This is Forrest at the Mosley rematch:

When people say that Forrest and Winky are "too big" for Oscar, I interpret that as "Oscar isn't good enough to fight skilled guys of his own size".Comment

If De La Hoya Thought Cotto Was Such A Great Fighter, And Big Draw Why Didnt He Been Go After Cotto, Instead Of Floyd From The Jump.Comment

He didnt want to get hurt. He even made the excuse he wouldnt fight another Puerto Rican Fighter because his wife is Puerto Rican.If De La Hoya Thought Cotto Was Such A Great Fighter, And Big Draw Why Didnt He Been Go After Cotto, Instead Of Floyd From The Jump.
Cotto would bring paint to DLH. Mayweather isnt a Strong aggressive fighter like Cotto.
With Mayweather he will make more money and wont get hurt and possibly make a second fight which he was planning to do. Did you see DLH's face after teh first Mayweather fight? it didnt look as bad as what Stevie Forbes did. It was the right move from a business standpoint.
With Cotto he wouldnt make that much money at the time. Have to fight his ass off and Risk getting knocked out or severely body damaged. I dont think he would want a second fight with Cotto after the first one.
People who saw the Forbes fight will definitely know that if DLH fights Cotto it will probably be DLH's last fight.Comment
