“Fighting Words” – Oscar De La Hoya: The World Awaits… Again

[Amir K Shareef]

Just becasue the judges scored it an SD, doesnt mean it really was an SD.
Everyone knows that fight wasnt nearly that close.

i know it should of been FLOYD by UD

Johnny Tapia is a bad mother****er.

co-signed....

co-signed again. who says the world waits again?

Here is his latest quote referring to a potentail fight with Hatton even after Hatton was just exposed by Mayweather, "The reason why it works with Hatton is because of his style,” De La Hoya told the Agence France-Presse news outlet following Mayweather’s knockout win over Hatton. “It would be a ‘Clash of the Titans.’

anybody, please give me the name of a titan that oscar has a vicyory over?

Oscar is picking on Ricky for the payday and he believes he can get a win, similar to his fight with Gatti and show the world what a "warrior" he is.
This clown is a joke.

oscar got a split decision with floyd just like he got a split decision with sturm. we all know the fight with sturm was razor thin and would have gone either way if sturm would have only failed to show up.

the world awaits

i'm one thats not waiting.the only reason fighters are waiting to fight de la ho is because of the money.i hope somebody knocks his head off.i'm about sick of oscar.in my opinion he is the one thats really making it difficult for boxing to move foward.

de la hoya next opponent will probably decide the fate of the welterweight scene for the following months

Why all the DLH hate?

DLH is good for boxing! He puts asses in arenas/stadiums and also gets millions excited enough to order his fights on PPV while boxings popularity is suffering in the States.

Oscar wants Hatton at 150 which is way too high for Ricky, but how can anyone turn down the amount of money Oscar will bring to the table?

Hatton will give DLH a good fight. He just cant be as reckless as he sometimes gets and keeps alert for the left hook. Ricky will do enough to win a decision over DLH. There is always the chance he gets caught since DLH will have a huge size advantage.

apparently not everyone knows, cause i thought it cold have gone either way, i've seen the fight many times, and i can see how mayweather could have won and how de la hoya could have also. so don't go throwing non-factuals out there. if there was a rematch, (i hope not cause it'll be boreing again imop) de la hoya could pull out a win.

Lol, the fanboy in you is speaking again, be honest with yourself. Oscar won 4 rounds in that fight Maximum, can be argued he won 3 as one of them was a close round. It was'nt a close fight at all, I like how if a judge scores a fight a SD then people talk about like it was. I guess Holyfield-Lewis and Whitaker-Chavez should have both been draw as well since the judges scored it.

Now consider the facts DLH had everything in his favour (Ringsize, Gloves, Weight, etc.) had a 20 pounds advantage on fighnight and still lost to Floyd. 116-112

[pelonxsoldier28]

actually i'm not a real dlh fan, so it's not the fanboy in me, that's just how i called it. i did'nt see mayweather do anything that great that night, and vice versus. i did see mayweather get alot of points from hitting dlh's gloves.
