Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes HBO

[BobbyBrez]

Too much 'ocky talk here, this is NBA playoffs time!

I'll say this now. I'm a Kobe Bryant hater. Hope he breaks a leg during the playoffs.

^ yep...but he's the best player in the game. I'll take him over anyone in the 4th.

Too much hate on Oscar De La Hoya in my opinion. The whole thing about him calling out fighters smaller than him is something that is laughable. Seriously.

First of all, Mayweather was calling him out. For years. "if oscar wants a piece of this i'll touch that ass too" after the fight with Balda-slow-mere is a good example of that and he wanted him earler in his career too.

The Pac-man fight is speculation. It started as what Oscar and Manny thought it was a joke because Golden Boy president (forget his name) brought it up and suddenly talks turned "serious". So serious that Oscar put Manny up against a dangerous JMM to help ruin it.

This whole thing about Oscar calling out smaller guys is being blown out.

No, not so much. EVERY fighter he has talked about recently is smaller than him. You can call it speculation if you want, but thats the truth.

any truth to the rumor that ODLH will in fact fight a puerto rican except instead of the guys last name being Cotto its Calderon?

it would be interesting to see what a golden boy could do to an iron boy.

But iron is tougher and stronger than gold...hmmm.

I dont think anyone is tryin to say Oscar isnt an amazing fighter and a warrior. Its just he has been a tad overrated in my opinion over the years.

It is great for boxing and just all around awesome how he has fought the best but the facts remain he has lost way more of those fights than he has won.

I was arguing with a kid at another forum who was telling me Oscar was the Greatest of his generation and one of the best of all time.

that is just not so.

Yea...vacation next week and then my lumps will be taken at Team Bunkerd. I can MT or Box or Roll for a reasonable price. As I get trucking I'll decide if I want to get into a smoker or something but for now its about getting back to having fun and working hard.
