    I have read somewhere that Oscar will fight either Pacman or Cotto on december 6th because Tito and Floyd aren't options at the moment.

    Is Oscar vs Pacman a serıous option? Isn't Delahoya too large for Pacman? Would Pacman have a shot at the Golden boy?

    Too bad the timing couldn't be made for Oscar to fight Shane again. The Mayorga fight is a waste of time and this would have been a much better matchup for both guys. But since Oscar's main purpose here is to put on the most finacially lucrative fight he probably never even came close to considering Shane.

    I think everybody would. But he's too damn small for Oscar. I can see Manny beating Hatton, but not DLH.

    Though, if by some miracle he was able to stop Oscar, it'd be the most satisfying event in this sport's history. The Golden Pop Star going out getting his ass kicked by by a former flyweight. Ahh it would be beautiful!

    Manny's limit with being competitve is at 140. At 147 I dont think he could beat Collazo, much less Oscar.

    He should fight Hatton instead. Ricky is ripe for the taking, and I really think its a winnable fight for Manny.

    prolly right but i bet odh seduces him into a fight with high 7 figures.... "make me lokk good - you get paid..."

    incidentally, amazing how little forbes got paid - did he think he was gonna win?

    If Pac was to win, Floyd would come out of retirement so fast, even Cherry couldn´t catch him. Then I´d like to see Pac turn him down.

    Agreed that Floyd would unretire to fight Pac. And what an epic ass whuppin he would lay on Manny.

    People would rightfully regard Manny as the best P4P, if he were to beat Oscar fair and square. Floyd would be on the outside looking in, when Manny cashes big time against Ricky Hatton.

    I can already picture Floyd crying that Manny has three losses, how can he be best, I´m a five division champion, blah blah.

    As a fan of Oscar I think Cotto would be a bridge to far. Cotto is an animal entering his prime where as Dela has been on the way out for some years now.

    I don't think Pac is a good option he is just too small. Plus Pac said after his last fight that he would not go anywhere near welterweight and I would be surprised to see Oscar fight at light welter.

    I also agree that Manny would have a great shot at beating Hatton.

    Oscar Vs Hatton in a packed out wembley stadium that would be a big fight to check out on for both guys.
