btw, poor Ricardo. seriously. he can never show his face in public. i'm sure the Nicaraguan gov't has already exiled his ass.

Where did you read that this is officially happening?

i am trying to will this fight into existence.

by constantly affirming that it will happen perhaps we can sway the cosmos and make sure it happens.

seems like kind of a foregone conclusion. it's a huge risk, Oscar will most likely lose, and he certainly doesn't need any more money or renown - not to mention the Sr. factor - but it doesn't make business sense to not do this fight. All the commentators were salivating talking about the possibility. Every fan wants to see it. And we're talking at least ten times this Mayorga purse.

I hope it happens. This would easily be the biggest nonHW fight since delahoya-trinidad, maybe even bigger. Oscar smokes floyd.

What-what-what??? There's two guys i'd like to see Floyd fight, and he probably will down the line. DLH and SSM. i predict he decisions Oscar and draws against Shane.
