Juanma: "De La Hoya Should Have Fought Trinidad"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez, despite being a Puerto Rican fighter, admits that he grew up idolizing Oscar De La Hoya, a Mexican-American fighter. Lopez will defend his title against Sergio Medina on the undercard to De La Hoya's bout against Manny Pacquiao on December 6 in Las Vegas. [details]

DLH wanted to fight Trinidad but Trinidad wanted no part of it. He said he could never make the weight to fight DLH, so it was never going to happen again.

It was a lose-lose fight for Trinidad.

I mean, really, they are like 5 weight classes apart at this point.

Really and truly though, you can't deny that Trinidad has just let his body go...

He keeps going up weight classes, and DLH keeps moving down.

That just seems to be a fundamental problem in making this match.

I guess... that means... that ODLH shouldn't have been such a greedy **** and priced himself out of a rematch after he lost to Mosley the second time. Trinidad-Mosley would have happened (had Wright not spoiled it by beating Mosley) because both of them were going after the next best thing after Oscar demanded way too much money against guys who had already beaten him.

i know he has.I mentioned it when they took his robe off in the jones fight.he looks like ****.he's got these skinny ass arms,skinny ass legs and a fat torso.
tito wanted more for the rematch.and nothing was going to change his position on that.he felt oscar disrespected him in the negotiations.

I don't blame him.

I was especially shocked by his demands for a third Mosley match.

Who the **** gets beaten twice by one guy and refuses to give him an even split? Absurd...

Oscar is a prick.

[Piper the Great]

yeah DLH couldve made a catch weight but he wanted to fight @ WW knowing TITO wouldnt move that far down. basicly it was a way of ducking & blaming the other fighter.

DLH had a list of fighters @ WW & SWW but he chose a LW.

by now it should be evident what Oscar's motivations are.MONEY.
i don't blame him. his resume though loaded with hall of famers left in right,
is what it is, because those "big names" brought in the most money.
