Oscar De La Hoya

De La Hoya still considering comeback against “the very best”

by

dela11223317By Dan Ambrose: For the past several weeks, 42-year-old Oscar De La Hoya has been talking about wanting to restart his boxing career after a seven-year layoff. De La Hoya is now at the point where he says he’s 50-50 in his decision to come back or not.

What’s troubling though is he says he only wants to fight the best and specifically names Gennady Golovkin and Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the guys he wants to face. Considering that De La Hoya looked absolutely shot when he retired in 2008 and lost 3 out of his last 4 fights, it seems more like a comeback that would be done for the wrong reasons.

dela567453424By Chris Williams: In response to Floyd Mayweather Jr. saying he’s willing to fight him in September, Oscar De La Hoya replied back on his Instagram account, saying that he won’t be coming back to fight Mayweather, and that he’s happy with his career. De La Hoya says he’s going to continue focusing on his promotional company Golden Boy Promotions to try and keep it growing in the future.

De La Hoya is losing a lot of money by not taking the fight against Mayweather. With the kind of cash that De La Hoya could make in a second fight against Mayweather, he could help pump up his Golden Boy Promotions company, which recently lost a lot of major fighters who have gone elsewhere.

Mayweather interested in fighting De La Hoya in September

by

de la hoya95By Chris Williams: If Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) is serious about wanting to make a comeback at the age of 42, he might just have a dance partner for his first fight of his comeback. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) has taken an interest in fighting De La Hoya, and he’s willing to face him in September if he’s game.

Mayweather previously beat De La Hoya eight years ago in 2007 in a fight that generated 2.2 million pay-per-view buys. That fight set a record at the time that stood until recently when Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao shattered the ring in a fight that is said to have brought in an estimated 5 million PPV buys.

Golovkin would murder De La Hoya, says Mares

by

delahoya789By Dan Ambrose: Former three division world champion Abner Mares doesn’t think it’s a good idea at all for 41-year-old Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) to get in the ring against unbeaten IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) for a fight.

Mares laughed at the suggestion that De La Hoya should fight the hard hitting Golovkin. Mares thinks that De La Hoya would wind up getting murdered by Golovkin if he were to face him in his comeback. For that reason, Mares suggests that De La Hoya should fight the 52-year-old Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Mares thinks that would be a good fight. Chavez Sr. hasn’t fought in 10 years since losing a fight to Grover Wiley in September of 2005.
