By Dan Ambrose: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions isn’t coming right out and tipping his fighter WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) on September 14th, but he sure is dropping a lot of hints about who he’s favoring in this fight.

By Dan Ambrose: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions says that the catch-weight fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez was fair because the two of them agreed to fight at the mid-point between 147 and 154, and De La Hoya sees Canelo being faster at 152 rather than 153 the weight he weighed in at for his fight with Austin Trout last April. 
By Dan Ambrose: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions feels that his #1 fighter WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez won’t meet the same fate as past victims of Floyd Mayweather Jr. like Victor Ortiz and Juan Manuel Marquez.

By Chris Williams: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions believes that WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is getting Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the right time in Mayweather’s career with him showing signs of aging at 36 and with Canelo coming off of a 12 round unanimous decision win over WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout last April in San Antonio, Texas.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unlike most other boxing fans who see WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO’s) as having virtually no chance of beating undefeated challenger Adrien Broner (26-0, 23 KO’s) in their fight on June 22nd, Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions feels that the 32-year-old Malignaggi is a live dog and can win this fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
