    Oscar De La Hoya - Everything is Golden

    By TK Stewart - He’s Oscar De La Hoya and everything is golden.

    Wherever he goes he attracts crowds of affectionate followers. They’re anxious to get close to the handsome man with the jet-black hair and the movie star face. Grown-ups nudge little children out of the way just to be near him.

    The autograph hounds force slips of paper in front of his face and then he’ll sign his name hundreds of times. Over and over he’ll sign “Oscar” with a big “O” and then he’ll smile at you. If you’re lucky, he may even shoot you a wink of the eye.

    Before he married the beautifully demure Millie Corretjer and became a father, women of all ages would throw themselves at his feet and mob him at public events. After 15 years in the fight racket, he’ll stroll through the casinos and hotels on the Vegas strip and the ****tail waitresses and blackjack dealers yell out they are hoping he wins, and they tell him they are betting on him, too.

    He is what his nickname implies: “The Golden Boy”. So strikingly handsome that HBO boxing analyst Larry Merchant once called him “George Clooney with fists.” Fight fans love him, women swoon for him and the suits from corporate America chase after him in an attempt to get him to endorse whatever is they are trying to hustle.

        I wonder, will Floyd be able to handle this high profile of a fight - he has never had a fight with this kind of atmosphere, will he get too nervous on Saturday?
