    Oscar De La Hoya's best option?

    So with all the money hungry talk going on, who is DLH's best option to fight, CAREER wise, as far as maybe saving his reputation? Maybe another clean up (w/ Sergio Mora) before taking on Marg in May? Rematch with Floyd (rumored to be training hard again), or maybe third times a charm with Mosley? There's also the possibility of fighting some great, but very demoralized fighters, such as Cotto or Hatton. What is your take? Pacquiao is far from what I'd want to see as a fan of boxing, and of DLH's but it is an apparent that it could still be a good chance of something happening.

      Even though the fight isn't very important I'd have to go with margarito. Margarito pretty much called oscar a ***** and all he can respond with is "well....paul williams beat you! Don't worry about me!". He needs to handle that ****.

        seeing as how we know he isn't gonna fight Margarito, I wouldn't mind seeing him challenge Cotto. He knows it could still earn big $$$ and maybe, in his mind he thinks Cotto's loss to Margs gives him a better shot at beating him (psychologically or otherwise)... While it wouldn't be fair to Margs, I'd still like to watch it. I'd be hoping that Cotto could shake off the rust and beat him into retirement and a hospital bed (for picking on Manny). Other than that the best we could hope for is a bout with him and Winky (we know how that would go) or a fight with the Mora/Forrest winner. Preferably Vernon (mutual opponents and all that) just from a match up standpoint.

              Tony's the toughest challenge for him right now and he's ridin momentum from a big win. But DLH don't wanna fight, he just wants more $. He should just quit and stick to promotin.

                Why do people still think that Trinidad can make anywhere close to 160? He struggled to make 170 in a fight he trained hard for this year. If Trinidad could make 160, this fight would have already been signed.

                  this is Oscar last fight its not about beating the best or fighting the best anymore this is about one last fight to say goodbye and leave with a WIN so i think he is being criticised for all the wrong reasons just look back at his career and you can't say that he ducked many people if anyone so one last easier fight isn't that big a deal

                    It's a big deal when he's promoting it and charging $55 on PPV. He had his easy fight with Forbes already.
