Oscar's final opponent?

[The Legacy]

I have a feeling it's going to be Felix Trinidad.

[Silencers]

I had thought Cotto too, but I read something today that made me wonder about that. If Cotto were to beat him, it would be a huge boost for Top Rank boxing. Why would Oscar want to risk making his top competitor's best fighter even bigger?

That's a good point since the 'cold war' has supposedly started again so hopefully they can resolve their differences for this fight because Cotto becoming a big star would help boxing.

But if they can't settle their difference, I expect a third Mosley fight or an outside shot for a Trinidad fight.

Cotto would be the best option. He's arguably the best fighter he can fight and would mean huge dollar signs

A fight with Tito IMO would be a circus show and he simply can't make a weight that'll satisfy both camps. I think its wishful thinking considering we never got to see a rematch between the two, but 9 years later the fight makes no sense financially.

Being Oscar has stated he would announce his next opponent within the week, which he said last month, I truly believe he's waiting for the outcome of Cotto vs Margarito.

I think Cotto if he doesn't lose to Margarito.

Yeah, same here. DLH will fight the best fighter out there, he ducks no one. He may not win them all but he prepares himself and really tries every time, not much more you can ask from a fighter. He will be a huge loss when he goes.

who said chavez jr? i mean i wouldn't mind seeing him get his ass kicked too by an actual fighter, but to waste Oscar's last hurrah on that, no way!

I think JCC Jr is a very strong candidate. He is someone who Oscar looks at as beatable, and with smart promoting it would be a very big seller in Hispanic markets. From Arum's point of view it could make Chavez into a superstar, and if he loses he can always rebuild the kid.

Actually, the fight makes ALOT of sense financially. ANY fight that has DLH makes sense financially.

Tito just can't make the weight, or at least thats what his father is saying. I also don't think that Tito would have a chance against DLH, he's been out of the game for too long.

I think Cotto if he beats Marg or maybe someone else if that doesn't happen. DLH wants to go out on top and I think this last fight has to be a meaningful one.

Everything you just said Scott is the reason why I picked JCC jr. All the cards have to be in Oscar's favor when he chooses fights like this. I don't think JCC jr can beat Oscar and like you said it would be huge in the hispanic markets. It would probably be promoted as a revenge fight for Both JCC sr and Jr.

Wow, I would be very suprised. i don't think that fight has 1/10th the marketability that a Cotto fight would have.

Everyone knows JCCjr isn't ready. He has alot of fights but he's very young. Oscar isn't trying to sell to just the latino community, he's trying to sell to every boxing household in the nation and most people don't know who JCCjr is.

That would be a very ****** choice.
