De La Hoya To Return, But No Floyd Rematch

[cupcrazy01]

I want to see DLH/Winky if Winky beats Bernard or DLH/Cotto if Cotto beats Margarito (assuming he beats Williams of course). Both would be huge fights, especially Cotto.

DLH/Tito II would be interesting, but it won't have the importance those other two fights would, and of course there's the weight issue there.

yeah dat....dlh is done

Man there are some really big haters in this forum. DLH is far from done, I will tell you all why the rematch with PBF will never happen. Not because PBF would "hurt" or "embarass" DLH as some of you might think. It's because DLH knows in his heart of hearts he can't beat PBF STYLE wise. If they fought 100times, the result would be the same as the first. DLH chasing, PBF back peddling and wanting no part of trading with DLH.

I respect PBF as the best pound4pound, I also think if he retires theres NO WAY IN HELL we can call him the greatest ever as some fools have said on here. He has to fight the best of the best in his weight class and there is still Margarito, Cotto, Mosley and a few others he needs to beat for fans to acknowledge him as one of the greatest ever. I don't call what he did against DLH as running but the rematch would be the same and it would be a shame to expect people to pay for a fight that has virtually no action in it.

I love a technical fight as well as the next guy but DLH vs PBF was soooo technical, they hardley connected and PBF hardly threw punches.

I think DLH would beat Cotto even at 34-35 years of age. His skill is on another level for Cotto to handle, plus he can punch and would hurt Cotto. I think a fight with Winky would be great but again, a very technical fight and I don't know how much "excitement" we would see in that fight. I don't think Winky's size would be that big of a factor simply because he's not a ****er so it would come down to boxing and we all know BOTH those guys are great boxers.

That leaves me with a fight with DLH vs Tito Trinidad.......that would be the dream fight but it will never happen IMO. Tito knows he lost the first time and now would get embarassed....easily. DLH was a much better fighter than him then and is a much, much better fighter than him now. It would just be nice for DLH to get his due and revenge against such a BS decision that even Trinidad didn't believe himself (watch his reaction on tape).

PBF is great no doubt but there are still alot of fish to fry out there and if he retires the question "what if" will always loom over his career. And if you think PBF doen't care about his legacy you are fooling yourself. He's to narcissistic not to care..................

Let's look at this logically. Who in their right mind would actually PAY MONEY to see the boredom that was DLH vs PBF all over again? EVERYONE already knows everything that'll happen, to the point where tone could actually call it round by round accurately, without even seeing the fight.


DLH win win untill he stops jabbing. That's when floyd will decide to actually throw some stuff. PBF gets the win, Max kellerman pisses himself with happiness, and the audience boos. Boxing loses even MORE casual fans that decide that only MMA is 'real' fighting.

Please stop this 'DLH is scared' nonsense. I doubt that there's any money in a rematch, especially compared to DLH vs ANYONE ELSE.

i pretty much agree with every letter you typed,

[turkish981]

yep yep yep! this guy talks straight

[-EX-]

Sorry Floyd is still one of the best boxers ever. Not the best ever though.

[Tha_Greatest]

Really?

I had no idea.

that is gay, with a capital G,

[niceguy45]

Sorry Floyd is still one of the best boxers ever. Not the best ever though.

yeah ok in your world....he is not a living legend either

[boxingfan4life]

I say he should fight Miguel Cotto if he gets past the winner of Margarito/Williams. It would be a good fight and payday for cotto.

[pernall whitake]

Scared

Oscar knows he can't beat floyd thats the only reason he won't fight him. No one else will get 2.15 million pay per view. But it was easy work and it would be even easier in the rematch.
