    he could probably fight at 154 against chavez jr, el perro (hard fight but winnable), um...cotto at 154, mosley trilogy at 154, pac rematch all these fights at 154

    i think he would do alright if he made the weight comfortably but who knows
    i doubt it as pac took his soul
    Pac did not take his soul away ,Oscars a warrior he is not weak minded like a lot of fighters out there ,i dont think he will be a world beater but i definetly could see him beating a Yuri Foreman.

          i forget which site i read it on probably pure speculation ,i would like to see him retire with a win though a warrior like him shouldnt go out that way,maybe beat up Chavez jr and call it a day.

            Yeah he could challenge Jorge Arce on a cinco de mayo in LA or maybe even Ivan Calderon in New York for the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Both would be (to his fans) LEGIT COMEBACKS!! LOL

              Nah, thats meaningless to me. If he comes back then it should only be for the big time. Fight at 154 against a Cotto, then Margarito, then Williams. No one really knows how he'll look. If he still looks like the guy who fought Floyd & Mayorga then I think he gives pretty much anyone at 154 hell and probably beats most of them but most of the times when you start messing around with your weight & fail then its over. That 145 **** probably killed him and even if he tried to go to 154 now, he probably would still look like a zombie in the ring

                At 154 I can see him still beating a few good fighters. Not making excuses, but the weight killed him in the Pac fight. If he is at a healthy fighting weight I am sure he still has something.

                    Despite all the bashing he took following the Pacquiao fight, he still remains a relevant name in the boxing world and if he made a comeback he would not have much trouble getting a fight with a household name opponent. Oscar's problem is psychological than physical. Roach mentioned before the Pacquiao fight that when they worked together, he had serious confidence issues and he would give Oscar referrals for therapists which he laughed off. I don't think he should make a comeback just for the heck of it. He should do it if that drive and hunger is still in him and his body is still strong.

                      Cotto vs Foreman in June for the 154lb title Oscar vs ?? at 154lbs. Then late 2010 Oscar vs Cotto for 154lb title a **** load of $$$ and a nice farewell to both fighters. You heard it here first.
