    I think Oscar backed away from the retirement talk a while ago...and the prevailing thought even while he was saying "retirement, retirement" seemed to be he'd probably fight on.

    This is just his farewell fight to '08.

    DLH is a con-man. If the guy claims to want to fight the best, why the f*ck is he fighting Pacquaio, a featherweight? When there's Margarito out there who is a true welter?
    I'm just glad I've never put a cent into DLH's pocket. He's spilled his blood for my entertainment and I've watched all his fights....for free!

    I paid for Tito/DLH and it sucked from beginning to end. It was worth 50 to watch him get robbed though.:hammert:

    You should have just rented a heist movie. It would have cost you only about 4 bucks instead of 50. :lol:

    I bought into the hype. It's still the only PPV I've payed for in full.

    obviously, without question, if odh were to face thest opposition in and around his weight division, he'd be facing (and almost deginitely losing to), maragarito or williams.

    the parenthetical phrase should andwer anyone asking the question: "why isn't he fighting one of them?"

    Very simple, because he doesn't have to.

    I think everybody did. That was easily the worst "mega fight" ever.

    That's only because DLH ran for the last 4 rounds. If he stood his ground and fought, it would've been better.

    More like because he doesn't want to. The Golden Cross Dresser has been picking and choosing his opponents since taking a dive against Hopkins.
