Oscar Dela Hoya wants Mayweather in Sept.

I'd like to see this fight, Floyd will be the favorite, and as inactive as Oscar's been, I dont know if he has it in him to hang with Floyd at this point in their respective careers.

i agree, but idk if dlh can go that low

what weight will the fight take place at?

this will truly be a great battle... better than judah vs. mayweather will be because mayweather is a great fighter and so is de la hoya... im not making any bets on it but we will just have to wait and see.

Youre a Republican so you really have no sense of reality anyway. If these two fight Ill bet you your membership here that PBF beats his ass. PBF wins you leave. Oscar wins I leave. Then you can take a hike a dodge these message boards harder than GW Bush and the man in your avatar dodged the draft! republicans have no sense of reality? im quite sure its the other way around

oscar: gotta get that money man! my boxers suck, i have to step up!

I wanna see this fight, if DLH comes in same as the Vargas fight, then this will be a fight.

De La Hoya vs. Mayweather= the true meaning of a super fight.

Wanna bet on that? Wanna bet on that? I'll bet 1 Billion points on each fight. Except......I'm picking PBF by Dec...so Odds on. If I knew what exactly betting on this site really means. Its not like I have a 1,000,000 points or anything. :) I would bet that Mayorga Uds him. And as long as that is true, then Mayweather would KO him in the 10th. I changed my KO round because Hopkins is much bigger than Mayweather.

Did you see some of the shots he took in the second Mosley fight? I understand you may not like him, and I'll agree he's not the ultimate warrior who is dedicated to fighting, but you think Mayweather, who couldn't KO Mitchell with a head shot is going to KO Oscar? I think his chances are better than some think they are. I mean Castillo was able to reach Floyd with the jab all night in the first fight, if Oscar has any intentions of using the jab against Floyd, that will go a long way toward winning him the fight. Oscar is naturally larger than Floyd, some are forgetting this I think. Actually I do like de la hoya. His fight against vargas was awesome. However, I just think that he doesn't have it left in him anymore. We will see when he fights Mayorga. :)

What spells doom for DLH is the fact that he will try to fight Floyd using Floyd's style. That's a fatal mistake. If DLH wants to have a chance, he needs to get back to his old style. He has to fight the way he fought as a jr. welterweight and welterweight. I agree, and that is pretty much as I said, pre-Trinidad.

does oscar still has the speed to match floyd? :thinking: Speed is good, but timing is more the question.

does oscar still has the speed to match floyd? :thinking: No probably not. I bet he will rely on his shoulder rolling techniques.

Yeah no kidding, he really seemed to become aware of pleasing the judges after that Trinidad fight. I personally think that's why he lost the second Mosley fight, he tried to fight it out in the second half of the fight and let Mosley score. If he does that with Floyd it's over IMO. He's a very fast fighter, but to me it seems that with Oscar it's not actual reflexes, he just has a lot of fast-twitch muscle fibers I guess. Floyd however has great reflexes and speed too. Man I'd love to see this fight happen lol Exactly. Like you, I would love to see this fight. I'm afraid that weight will be as much an issue as anything though. When I see DLH at 147 then I'll let myself get excited about the rumors.

The DLH of today really minimizes himself by trying to be the mexican that mexicans say he isn't or something like that. Since he got robbed in the Trinidad fight he has been really afraid of just winning rounds and tries to fight more than box. He's not a fighter, he's a boxer and not any less mexican for it. You would think that public opinion would be beyond a guy who has been able to accomplish all that he has, but ...

Yeah, I'm kind of afraid of that too. It all depends on him using his attributes and fighting the right fight. If he chases Floyd, or lets him get close, fuck it, turn the TV off lol The DLH of today really minimizes himself by trying to be the mexican that mexicans say he isn't or something like that.

I think that DLH could put up a very good fight, if he boxes. No one expects someone to outbox PBF and that's exactly why it will be so effective. If he uses his reach and jabs Floyd all night and hopefully makes him lunge and reach to score past the jab and then gets him with that left hook, he could do very well. But I honestly think that DLH will feel that he is bigger than Floyd and will just chase him trying to get to the body and lose a controversial (to some) decision.
