De la hoya was doing fine against Bernard up until the stoppage but I mean his last hurrah was against Vargas. I dont think we will ever see De la hoya be the same fighter again. The weight and the age will get to him.

    Mayweather might be close in age but he is far superior at this stage then the other fighters....His speed alone defeats anyone in the are of 130-147.

    ya what I dont get is how can a fighter fall of so fast! is it a mental thing? does it have to do with hunger or their heart not being in it any more? cause mosley and oscar still have the speed and skills but I think they lost the hunger.

      sorry if that hurts your feelings but thats the way it is.

      Im not having a pop at Oscar here its ****ing mayweather hopping weights before he has cleaned the division out. AGAIN.

      either way its ove two years since Shane or oscar won a fight against a legit top class foe. Hardly ideal to go in agianst the P4P number one.
      He did it before?

      If he has no big name in the 140lbs. division who wants to fight him right now, why can't he seek a bigger fight, what's so wrong about that?

      Another question. Why can't those fighters at 140 meet him in another division, what would be the problem with that?

        Everyone knows OSCAR would have beat B hop, but oscar threw the fight he had a deal with bernard already! that wasnt a body shot for **** b hops punch hit oscars elbow.

            Guys,

            As much as I hate saying this, Oscars interest as a boxer has reached a dead end.. The begining is Oscar as the promoter... He's in it for the money..
            and all this hype is created to get his name out there

              Honestly speaking, you only hold a point for the 140lb. argument. Had he stayed at 130lbs. he would be the Bernard Hopkins of that division.

              As far as what you said about Cotto and Hatton, they don't want to fight him yet.

              Which leads to my first question. If the big names at 140lbs. don't want to fight him right now. Why can't he keep himself occupied fighting bigger names at different divisions and take care of them later?

              He already said that one way or another he's going to beat up Cotto, because he's not going to leave unfinished business.

                I'm not a mosley fan, but come on...

                He went to a MJ with a much bigger and now P4P#2 Wright!

                Mosley is alright... just out of career luck
