De La Hoya did not rule out a rematch with Mayweather Jr, saying that fight could happen, but only if Mayweather agreed to fight in a smaller ring. A ring as small as 16 by 16 instead of 20 by 20.
"Mayweather is a very slippery fighter, he's a tricky fighter," De La Hoya added: "So, obviously, we would want a smaller ring and it would be more of an interesting, exciting fight. So that's one thing we have to look at, and that's the only obstacle that's in the way
of making a rematch."
I think I may have to puke...
Why the pics in your sig dude? Do you think they look similiar? I saw you posted them in the other thread. Maybe I'm missing something.
Dont take it the wrong way...no dissrespect intended.
1 SHUT THE FUCK UP
2 i like vasquez
I've heard Oscar say he'd only fight Mayweather again in a phone booth.
No joke...

They could fight inside the hole of a industrial sized tire and it would be the same result. DLH needs to move on. I'm starting to lose respect after years of him building it. I only started liking him after he beat Tito...was I wrong?
Funny shit in the thread..
Anyway, Oscar deserves it. :fing02:
I find it absolutely pathetic the way he has publicly tried to rig the logistics in his favor for recent fights..
I'll be looking to see Oscar demand a bigger ring if he fights a banger next year. I wouldn't put it past him..
oscar cant rely on his skills anymore..so he uses his big name to call the shots and everything has to be his way or there is no fight..fuck oscar maaaaann
fuck! i think everyone would want to see a smaller ring if they faught again! so mayweather wouldnt just run like a bitch the whole fight
Oscar ran from Tito after the 8th round. Does that make Oscar a bitch as well?
so he outweighs him by over 15 lbs, and now wants a smaller ring......
oscar did you want a smaller ring vs tito you fraud?
You forgot to mention that Oscar wanted to use a bike after the 8th round.
..................
Im a big Mayweather fan....but that dosent mean mayweather cant lose...i try to analyse the styles in fights and try to gain an understanding of what will probably happen when 2 boxers square off...mayweather not being the exception even though im a fan....for instance in his upcoming fight mayweather will beat ricky hatton...but back to oscar...it dosent make a diffrence what size ring they fight in....for those that say mayweather ran during his fight with oscar they dont know boxing...they get an idea in their head and run with it... watch the fight again...mayweather layed on the ropes most of the night....even frddie roach after the fight said and i quote " oscar stood in front of mayweather like a statue, he didnt do what we worked on in camp"....Mayweather is way to smart....what oscar does and does well is an old technique called a parry he parries ur punches and than turns his left hook over to knock u out...it would work even better if he could do it with the right hand as well...oscar wants u to open up in order to parry ur punches and than counter with a left hook..mayweather saw this and stopped throwing alot of punches if u fight a counter puncher who starts timing u throw less... so floyd would jab...lean on ropes jab..lean...left right ...lean...oscars plan was supposed to be by what freddie roach said was to counter mayweathers jab with a right... and when mayweather started to concentrate on the right ...try to slip in the left hook...mayweather realized what oscar was doing in the fight and started throwing less...when ur fast like floyd u have a tendency to say i can hit this guy at will...but oscar aint a dumb boxer either..he times u and lets u throw and open up he'll let u whoop his azz for 3 rounds than get ur timing and parry ...a shot with his left ...than counter with a left hook..fights over... now floyd was smart ...it may boo the crowd but he's scoring...jab..lean...jab ..lean...left right...lean... oscar wasnt throwing that counter right over mayweathers jab like roach said they had worked on... maybe the speed worried him that im not sure off..but technically mayweather did not run in that fight....and he outsmarted oscar....now i think oscar would beat hatton or cotto...they'll be at MSG...and ull have the porta reecan fans cheering when cotto is opeing up on oscar...and oscar wil be thinking ok their cheering ok i see ur wife jumpin up and down for u ...than when he times cotto..left hook..fights over.... lets go have a mexican tequilla.... mayweather in a smaller ring would do the same thing against oscar...lean on the ropes.. and i dont think oscar is smart enough to adjust his gamplan to beat mayweather in a rematch...and even if he adjusted just a bit...mayweather is smart and would adjust a bit too to cancel the whole stradegy out......now have a coke and dont worry about a rematch.....
Oscar's next demand will be that Floyd fight on one leg.
If you do that along with tie your hands behind your back and a much smaller ring, then maybe,just maybe i will agree to a rematch
No less unclassy than when he demanded every little fucking thing to his liking in the first fight.
Granted that was a semi-bitch move on Oscar's part, but he was the one making Mayweather the money. Without Oscar, Mayweather would've had to fight 3 times to make that much. And really, did it even matter? Will it ever matter? Oscar could go bare knuckle against Floyd in heavyweight gloves and still lose a decision.
16 x 16 is still good enough for Mayweather, actually he might focus more in countering than running like he did the first match and win a wider UD. This is abnormal though, real unclassy of Oscar to demand a phonebooth fight. He's basically saying that he can't beat Mayweather in a bigger ring. If Oscar was the one who was doing the running, he'd probably demand a bigger ring.

Of course, he's Oscar De La Hoya. The rematch will probably do almost as well as the first outing. Oscar will promote it that Mayweather will fight Oscar's kind of fight, the smaller ring will force exchanges like Oscar wants, and let's not forget Mayweather loves cash. I'm sure Oscar oculd promote the rematch enough to ensure Floyd another 20 million.
Of course Oscar will say that things will be different due to ring size, more action and more exchanges but ultimately it will be a carbon copy of the first fight, maybe even worse if Floyd counters more.
De La Hoya made it pretty clear the fight WOULD happen.
If the ring is 16 x 16, and Mayweather prevails over Hatton - it will happen.
Unless Floyd changes his mind. But PBF is the one who has been asking for the rematch so there's no reason it won't happen.
There's a very good chance it can.
Oscar needs to shut the fuck up and fight someone else this year or retire!
This is old news though anyway.

But I know what you mean about it being an old story. :fing02:
