De La Hoya: "I Want Miguel Cotto in December"

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

I think De la Hoya can beat Cotto...

I agree DLH could beat Cotto but floyd beats oscar anyway!!!

[Zarco]

**** YEA! i was hoping for this, this would be asuch a better fight than mayweather vs de la hoya. I would def order this.

The loss column doesn't even matter as far a beibng remembered as a truly great fighter in this sport ie, Roberto Duran 16 losses, Ali 6 losses Joe Louis had like 50 losses on his record. Give oscar a break, he schooled tito for 8 rounds, the second mosley fight he won(imo) so his record should 2 losses anyway. Mayweather and bernard are the only one who beat him convincingly

[Motofan]

oscar has a suprisingly even fight with steve forbes, but gets the decision anyway because hes in the money and hey..the guys retiring, then if he gets a decision against mayweather it will be because he previously announced an exciting fight with another big hitter like cotto or even a margarito or pacquiao that people want to see (which would be an exciting fight if oscar is in good condition or he will bust out an "alfonso" if hes in bad condition) only to end up fighting some well known b class fighter on the rise and winning with an unsurprising knockout to which people will remember him as the great fighter who finished his career with a 3-0, even though all those fights weren't as entertaining as they could've been

Steve Forbes is his "Alfonso."

[Pullcounter]

Wonder if he will still go forward with this fight when he loses to Mayweather.

I'm pretty sure he will go through with the Cotto fight even if he loses to mayweather.

[Burner]

A 154 pound Oscar would Knock Cotto the **** out.

If PODH loses to Cotto..he took a dive for $$$$$$$$$$$

[Mike06j770]

He wont beat Mayweather, nice thought. Oh wait, he wouldn't beat Cotto either. I can't wait til Oscar retires actually, 5 L's in the red column takes the shine off of his..er...goldenness

alot of greats have 5 plus loses....DLH is trying to break the bank this year...Mayweather then Cotto...

Earlier this year, Oscar De La Hoya said that he would fight three times in 2008 and then retire from the sport to fully focus on his successful company, Golden Boy Promotions. He returns next week in Carson, California to face Steve Forbes, and if successful he will rematch Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September. If he gets by Mayweather, he says that a December fight with WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto is the one he wants to end his career. [details]

If we all knew Cotto was going to beat Margarito like De La Hoya says, it would be a little better than +160 or whatever it is on Marg right now.

Where do you get your facts from?? I can tell you that Joe Louis had not more than 4 losses at most. I can think of only 3, to Marciano, Charles and Schmeling. Mostly he lost to the casinos.

[jowee]

wow. he's pretty sure he can beat forbes.
we'll see.
