Dont know if this has been posted already but I havent seen it. He said that a win over Hatton or Margarito really wouldnt do anything for him and there is nothing to gain in those fights.
That leaves only 2 fights and thats Winky or Floyd. The problem with those 2 are the Mayweather Sr. situation and Winky could lose to Taylor.
People say that they dont see Oscar fighting Floyd but I see it happening easily. No one will give Oscar much credit for beating Margarito or Hatton. Tito is semi retired, half washed up, and no one wants to see that fight. No one wants to see him fight Vargas or Mosley either for the same reason as Tito.
Winky is a big fight and I think Oscar thinks he can beat him but it wouldnt sell nearly as much as Floyd and its likely to be very boring.
Then you have the Mayweather fight. I remember when Floyd beat Zab and they interviewed Oscar right after that and he said "Floyd doesnt look the same at 147. I told people that its hard to move up and thats what happened to me. He's not as fast or strong at 147".
If Oscar said that then you know he thought he could beat him and that was before the Mayorga fight. Now after the Mayorga fight he definatly thinks he can win. If he thinks Floyd doesnt look that good at 147, then you know he thinks that Floyd will look that much worse at 154 and Oscar looked and felt great there.
Then you add to all the subplots about Sr. training Oscar, its Oscar's last fight, and its against the pound for pound best figher in the world.
To me thats a no brainer. Oscar has made more money then anyone and with all that, this fight could still make more money then any of his previous fights. Thats saying something. How many people get to retire by beating the best fighter in the game? Would you rather fight a guy who can go all the way to 160 and look strong like Winky or a guy who looks weaker at 147 and has to fight you at 154?
PS-On a side note, Im sick of Brian Kenney. Did you hear him play Floyd like he was running from Margarito? Talking about thats the fight that Floyd turned down for 8 million? Duh, I would turn it down also if I knew I could make nearly 3 times as much to fight Oscar. Why would Floyd fight him for 8 when he can get over 20 for Oscar? Ive said it before and Ill say it again. There is no way in hell that Floyd thinks that a Margarito fight is harder then a fight with Oscar at 154. If Margarito sold like Oscar then Floyd would be fighting him. If Oscar had retired then Floyd wouldve took that Margarito fight for 8 mil easily
