De La Hoya Says "NO" To Mayweather, Sr.

[psychopath]

I think you have it reversed. Fans like you and I don't care if Sr. is in the fight at all and really don't prefer him to be involved. But when a casual fan hears that story, about a dad training OSCAR DE LA HOYA against his son, who happens to be the BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD, that adds a lot of drama. A LOT. Maybe more than has ever been involved in a boxing fight. This will hurt sales in the long run (as if this isn't gonna be the biggest money grossing boxing PPV ever anyway lol). Think of all the women that would watch it with a tagline like that. My mother was interested for crying out loud! This hurts sales, but it is the right move by Oscar, who doesn't need money anyway.

Well you have a good point, but the casual fans that I'm talking about are the casual fans who simply knows the name De La Hoya and Pbf. The kind of fans who doesn't get into the "behind the scene" stories like we do.

man...let alone the fight....**** I can't wait for the press conference!

[wmute]

What does he do ? run and pot shot all night? hmm great fight

i understand you did not watch many of his fights. Otherwise you would have seen the most complete fighter to enter a ring in recent years.

secondly if he "ran and potshotted all night" as you say it would still take insane skills, speed and discipline to do so. Things which people like you do not seem to understand appreciate.

it is called boxing, not knock downs.

it is a sport, it is about winning.

I have actually seen most of his fight and he was VERY impressive at 135 but he aint the same at 147 or 154

It doesn't matter, Floyd is gonna box circles around De La Hoya.

If anyone wants to bet on this fight let me know.

At least you're not biased.... lmao

tell me in which of his fights at 135 he was VERY impressive

also tell me in which of his fights at 154 (I have not seen any) he was not the same

[Bonafide]

Good for Oscar.
Just dont go out and get Mosley Senior.

[freedom213]

Oscar needs a trainer with an aggressive style, makes him spar mega rounds against fast accurate boxers, who pushes him to get that jab going and force him into better conditioning, against Mayweather he will need it!

[PROUD MEXICAN]

Your right that was the ROUTINE victory agaisnt guys like S. Mitchell and Gatti. BUT this is OSCAR DE LA HOYA not baldomir. Floyd has never been in someone even CLOSE to oscars size, skill and power. However i do see a 12 UD for mayweather b/c he will have his track shoes on. He wont stop the whole 12 for a decent exchange.

DLH has been doing it for all his big fights(haha)
