Here is a quote from an article up right now written by Mike Dunn titled "Younger, Faster Mayweather Too Much for an Aging De La Hoya".
"De La Hoya has fought just one time since losing to Hopkins in September of 2004, and that was a year ago against Ricardo Mayorga for the WBC light middleweight title. Granted, De La Hoya looked sharp and displayed little ring rust while knocking Mayorga down twice en route to the decision. But Mayorga isn't in the same class as Mayweather and Mayorga, frankly, may have underrated De La Hoya a bit. There were many who thought before the fight that the Golden Boy was well past his prime."
De La Hoya did not win a decision you idiot, he stopped Mayorga. It really pisses me off when I see unqualified writers commenting on fights that they obviously haven't even seen. Also, why the hell would he think that Mayorga would have underrated De La Hoya? That speculation could not have been more unfounded, especially since De La Hoya was the favourite going into the fight.
