De La Hoya

[boxingfan4life]

Just made this thread to get away from another floyd discussion. I said what I had to say now its time to move on. I was thinking about De La Hoya and whether or not he should retire. I honestly think that after being a 6 time champion and fighting the best in his divisions, what else does he have to prove? It can't be for the money cause he has plenty of it. He has left his mark and fought all he could fight. Even though majority of the big names he fought beat him he still had the courage to fight them when no one else would. I just feel he should just hang it up before he ends up like one those old fighters who have no business in the ring anymore. What do you guys think.

there isnt a lot of stuff for him to do, but he is still a great fighter so theres no physical reason to.

physically he can go on....he showed that when he embarrassed mayorga...

I thought he should have retired years ago. I don't see him being in another big fight anytime soon so why continue.

You can't off that cause Mayorga was a joke. I was impressed with how he did with Floyd Mayweather. Even though he lost he still better than Judah and Baldomir. I say he should go back down to welterweight and take on the champs in that division. It would be pretty interesting to see him go against Luis Castillo if he beats hatton.

[P4P50]

true but i still didnt expect him to do THAT well against him.....

[boxingfan4life]

I knew he was. Mayorga is nothing but a brawler. When you come across someone with good boxing skills like that your gonna get whooped.

OK, we must stop with that. Oscar may have collected belts in six weight classes, but he was never "six time champion".

Did you (or anyone) ever consider Oscar "the champion" at 160?

[El Termible]

the WBO did

[boxingfan4life]

Oh yeah you right my bad I mean "6 division" champion.
