    Imagine if Joe Louis lived in this era.....

    He would be NSB's joke, at age 27, he took a fight with LHW Billly Conn.....who he outweighed by like 25lb ......and was getting beat through 13.....winning when the overconfident Conn risked a good lead on 2 cards against a huge puncher...

    i mean, the HW champ close to his prime struggles mightily with a lhw......

    if a 36 year old part time boxer-mainly bussinessman with 3 fights in the last 4 years is getting backlashed for fighting a man hell probably outweigh by 10-15 pounds on fight night, imagine what Louis wouldve gotten...

            Wow,

            Conn was a fantastic boxer though, and had the style to trouble Louis. But I can understand where you are coming from.

                  I agree with this sentiment. The Oscar hate on here is disgraceful. It is mostly coming from complete ******s though.

                    True, I think the fact that Manny hasn't became a full-fledged Lightweight yet and is jumping to 147, where Oscar will be coming down is annoying people. I think Manny a chance with it being at 147. I don't see Oscar making that weight easily,

                    Plus they all want him to fight Margarito
