By Rick Reeno - Later tonight, the most anticipated boxing event in years will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya (38-4, 30 KOs) defends his WBC junior middleweight title against unbeaten, four-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (37-0, 24 KOs).
"This is what boxing is all about. Fighting Floyd Mayweather is the type of fight that truly gets me motivated to go through a hard training camp and make the sacrifices I have to make to be the best," said De La Hoya. "We've talked about it, the press and the fans have asked for it, and now we're going to put it all on the line and fight. I can't wait for May 5." [details]
