Margarito vs. Cotto

[Gangster Of Love]

Lets all get something straight here though.... Oscar is a multi millionaire who hardly needs to lace up the gloves anymore. The fact that he's willling to do so at his age and with his wealth should speak valiancy about his character.

While Floyd may not have 1 punch ko at his current fighting weight he certainly can hurt anyone.... just look at what he did to Ricky Hatton in his last fight. Hatton was undefeated and has never been stopped before Mayweather messed him up.

Oscar felt Floyd's punches in their first fight but he is a tough mofo with a good chin.

Margarito I believe would certainly tank through Oscar, especially at this stage... but I think he'd do it to any 147 pounder outside of perhaps Floyd who is just the sickest boxer I've ever seen.

I have no problem with an Oscar vs Pac match up and I'd find it more intriguing than seeing him fight Margarito

You are sort of making my point. Oscar DelaHoya is not sticking around and fighting because of his valiancy and character. He is fighting for the valiancy of his wallet, his bank account. Nothing wrong with that, as boxing is a business, and no prize fighter should have to apologize for getting paid as much as possible. I have no problem with the fighter making most of the money, as opposed to the promoters, tv networks, and all the leechers.

Why would any successful businessman quit, retire, or close down shop at the time when he is making the most money? That is why he is still fighting. If his only options were to fight Margarito, Hopkins, etc., you know, fighters than can really hurt him, and for equal money as he was making earlier in his carrer, then I would agree that his does it for the integrity and love of the sport.

You have no problem with Oscar vs Pac, that is probably because it is somewhat of a more competitive match, less risky, and more money for Oscar fighting a very well known fighter, than getting stretched by a lesser known, bigger puncher, younger and hungrier fighter. Doesn't make sense business wise, because he has other choices to collect bigger and less riskier paychecks. If he was fighting for proof of valiancy of his character, he would fight the better fighter. I can't say I blame him.
