Remember what an a$s Ray Leanord made of himself against Camacho? Well Camacho hits like Richard Simmons compared to GGG

By the way, he seems to be a smarter person in the family.

If Oscar gassed the first time, I'm assuming this time he might have trouble with the ring walk.

He can still make 147 though, no problem!

I'm sure he can. It's doubtful he spent all this time bodybuilding. He just needs to do it "the right way".. not by eating ostrich meat and trying to prove a point by 'legit' getting down to the weight.

Looking at him, he weighs 190 or more now, and he is not young. Cutting 40 pounds will not be easy.

Should fight Naseem Hamed at Cruiser and spark some entertainment to the division.

You don't watch a lot of cruiserweight fights, do you?

If he is seriously considering this - then he's out of his frigging mind. He's talking about coming back to face 'the very best' which is tantamount to suicide.

Seriously, he looked past his best against Mayweather years ago, and never had great stamina even in his prime. Even if he is sober and clean now, the years of alcohol and drug abuse won't have helped preserve him.

It's incredible how delusional fighters can be - so hard for even the greatest, in fact hardest for they of all, to turn their back on the ring for good. I can understand it must be impossible to replace the thrill of boxing - but for crying out loud, this is just mental.

I did notice there's talk of GGG training to get down to 154 - surely Oscar couldn't be considering taking that fight. Oscar was never at his best at 154, though he did well - and GGG is a murderer.

Oscar, sit down, and shut up.

This is not what boxing needs. One of its most well known faces and former biggest star getting killed in the ring...

DLH keeps talking:

Maybe that is another reason why GGG started cutting weight ?

GGG vs Oscar will sell well, but it is a joke, if it happens. All of you will come back here complaining about paying for a mismatch, when in reality, should probably slap yourself in the head for watching.

Oscar should forget all about pulling the gloves back on. GGG would send him straight to hospital.

I can see why GGG's people would be all over this.

As horrific a mistmatch as it is, Oscar is a huge name still, and his comeback would be hyped to the hilt. It would catapult GGG to stardom just by dint of facing Oscar.

However, fights like this leave a distinctly sour taste in the mouth, and I think there's a serious risk of Oscar ending up gravely hurt - the one thing that Oscar probably still does possess, is a great chin, he took an absolute shelling from Pacquaio and never came close to being stopped - had he not quit, he might have somehow finished the fight - GGG punches even harder than Pacquaio, - It could end with a death quite literally.

I really do hope this isn't going to happen - someone close to Oscar needs to tell him it's over - I hope he has some close friends who have the balls to tell him to stop being so stupid.

Oscar posted on his twitter page that the only way he would make a comeback would be to fight the winner of Mayweather and GGG next year. I'm sure it was a joke, he'd be 43 next year and out the ring for 8 years, he's not that stupid.

I don't think Oscar is that stupid. Nor is Mayweather. They won't go anywhere near the same ring as GGG.
