Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Predicts Luis Ortiz Crushes Deontay Wilder

He is pretty bad at predicting. He starts to like his guy and all reason goes out the window.
I think he truly believed Lemiueux would beat Golovkin.

i think he did too i also think he thought all his guys would beat mayweather as well and he thought without a doubt canelo would school mayweather

if his chin holds up... king kong will be a problem for ANYONE in the heavyweight division.

Just too big, too fast and too strong. Throw on top of that his amateur background.

But you won't make the fight Oscar because you said you're willing to work with anyone besides Haymon. So HBO, Oscar, and Bob are openly freezing Haymon out but Haymon is the problem?

This right here. Fight will never happen

[lightsout_finit]

Ortiz style would give Wilder nightmares...

[SalimShady1212]

I think it would end via stoppage but it could go either way

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

You are suing and trying to snitch out his manager lol Oscar shouldn't even be speaking on fighters from the other side. Then he always says this fighter won't fight this fighter like shut up already. Oscar the only promoter that's always in the media talking ****** like a dope fiend. He's obviously desperate right now.

actually Haymon won't work with GBP or Arum either. Only way he works with them is a purse bid. He wants to control the whole promotion and so do they. It works both ways

This sounds like some kid ****. "I won't play with you cuz you won't play with me." HBO, GBP & Duva seem to not wanna work with Haymon. Arum just worked with him to make Manny vs Floyd & there seems to have been some action with a Haymon fighter (Khan) being in the Manny retirement fight sweepstakes discussion so I wouldn't take THAT hard line a stance with Arum right now even with the recently dismissed $100M lawsuit.

But to some extent this is some what came first the chicken or egg type ****. And both sides are just operating inside the reality of the scenario. I know it appears like the first anti-other group shots were fired by HBO towards Haymon. And with GBP & TR working so often & closely with HBO that sorta dictates what they can or can't do right there. Thats obviously without even getting into other issues between those two sides that were ongoing or came later.

That's not true. Oscar is on record saying he won't work with Haymon. Bob's lawsuit prevents him from working with Haymon or else the whole suit would be invalidated.

Gimme a freakin break!! You mean to tell me that the WBA really truly has three heavyweight champions at the same time? I have to admit that just maybe the PBC isn't as bad an idea as I first thought??
