Margarito's Manager: "De La Hoya is Afraid To Fight"

[tredh]

if they fight my educated guess would be that it would be the highest grossing PPV more than mayweather/DLH even if most people here thinks this fight is a joke. its still 2 huge names in boxing combined with it being DLH last fight. i rather see him fight margarito too but i think this has the potential to be a good fight too

No disrespect but the bold does not seem like the guess from a very educated person. Manny vs. De la Hoya will never do more PPV buys than PBF vs. De la Hoya. 150,000 PPV buys with Manny vs. Diaz proved that.

DLH has sparred with Marg i guess Marg must have gave him the whats for in those sessions.
DLH doesnt want his pretty face to get messed up, but is he underestimating PAC MAN?? Does anyone know if he would have fought Cotto at 147 or higher?

I'll Never Buy That Fight If It Happens. I Don't Like Margarito And I Don't Think He Is Nothing To Fear, But Now He Has Earned His Shot And His Due A Multi Milli Payday. Oscar Should Go Ahead And **** It Out With Him....the Mexicans Wouldn't Get Mad, They Couldn't. It Would Be A Good Fight And Margarito Is No Jcc So Why Would They Get Mad

[Majority_Draw]

The insults will do nothing for his image.

And he still has to rematch Williams.

[lum-chate]

margarito brings more bling now, but dlh still don't wanna get knocked out for it

If DLH ever contemplated fighting Margarito and if last Saturday might have scared him out of it. Lujan is fighting Castillo tonight, Lujan a nice fighter who Tony beat so bad that Lugan's ear was almost detached from his face. Another reminder for DLH to stay clear of the Tornado.

u must be crazy........oscar knows that is the fight the public wants to see. i'm not sure however, margarito is a fighter DLH wants to see.........

maybe in his prime, DLH boxes the sox off margarito, but this version of DLH has beaten who in the last few years??? fact is, i don't see ANYTHING the current version of DLH can do better than what cotto did against margarito. plus, its also a fact DLH gets tired down the stretch. and DLH has only been stopped once in his career, and it was by a body shot. what is magarito? a tremendous body puncher. he beats the **** out of oscar if they fight.

oscar wants his last fight to be against some1 he has a good chance of beating, he doesn't want to be embarrassed, b/c then he won't be able to retire.......

in other words, **** the public, oscar WILL NOT, fight margarito. margarito should be fighting PW anyway, **** oscar............

1. Oscar should fight Margarito for boxings benefit but Oscar WILL NOT fight Margarito because it is too risky(watch bernard hopkins fight)

2. Margarito should fight Paul Williams but he would rather fight Oscar.(sad thing is he is going to leave it up to Arum and that fool is going to waiste the oportunity to force oscar in by going for PAC)

3. bob should preasure oscar into fighting margarito but arum wants to make a big fight moneywise.(notice how quickly arum said after the fight his favorite thing to say"boxing is a buisness" instead of calling out Oscar like he was calling out Floyd to fight Cotto)

4. Many should fight Hatton which would be a better and true matchup but the Roach just threw him under the bus.
-Let Me elaborate: Freddy Roach has one of two things in mind
(A) The big pay day
(B) or Manny Can WIN vs Oscar
the reason I say this is because no trainer would put his guy in a dangerous no win situation and if this is right about Roach, who knows both these fighters well, then he believes PAC can win. he is in the best position to asses Pacs chances.
On the other hand: if Roach is thinking like Arum and is doing this for the big Pay then I feel sorry for Manny because Manny seems to trust Freddy roach very much.

IM ACTUALLY HOPING MANNY's WIFE STEPS IN AND SAYS HELL NO.
OR EVEN BETTER: FOR FLOYD TO COME OUT AND SAY "I WANT TO FIGHT MARGARITO ON DECEMBER 6th ON SHOWTIME" LOL

[gmav24]

obviously there would be a bigger payday if oscar faced manny, but i know oscar vs margarito would be a tough fight. Oscar is a way better boxer with a solid chin of his own plus margarito will probably move up. I do not believe oscar is afraid to might him, but why wouldn't you want to fight a guy for more money who you is 20lbs lighter then you? Both fights would be entertaining.

"Golden Boy" is considered one of the best fighters of all time. He deserves a show against the Top P4P fighter on his last bout and this should be no other than "Pacman" if we refer to BoxingScene's list posted today. "Golden Boy" can fight against any other boxer on any ordinary show, but on his LAST, he should go against the best, in line with his intentions against "Money". Motto: FIGHT THE BEST.

I think it's a little late for DLH to salvage himself as one of the best fighters of all time. Think about it, his career has mostly been built against smaller guys moving up in weight and his career-defining win was against .a Fernando Vargas who was KO'ed by Tito already.

The reason his losses have not been held against him is because everything is spun in the other direction. Hopkins was too big, he was robbed against Mosley, Mayweather was running, all terms directed at spinning what happened in the fight.

DLH doesn't have to fight Margarito in his last fight, though it'd be nice to see that. I would like to see him against someone his size for a change but I doubt we'll see that.

last Weekend's Knockout Of Miguel Cotto Was Not The Outcome That Oscar De La Hoya Was Banking On. Prior To Last Saturday, The Two Candidates In The Running To Face De La Hoya In His Farewell Bout Were Cotto And Manny Pacquiao. After Antonio Margarito Pulled Off The Upset And Knocked Out Cotto In Eleven-rounds, De La Hoya Immediately Set His Sights On Pacquiao, And Ignored Margarito As A Possible Opponent. Hbo Has Reserved The Pay-per-view Date Of December 6 For The Final Fight Of De La Hoya's Career. [details]

Exactly...!!!! Go Out With A Win Over The Lesser Opponent And Get A Huge Check For It. De La Hoya Will Tarnish His Image For Doing This.

Greed, Greed, Greed,.. If Anyone Saw Larry Merchants Interview With Dlh, Larry Asked What Are Your Goals, De La Hoya Said "i Want To Become A Billionaire Before I Retire".
