Oscar De La Hoya: "Floyd Didn't Want Cotto - I Do!"

[Feint]

Say what you will about De La Hoya, but he has never been afraid to take on a challenge...

He could have fought an easier opponent for his final fight as a “going away” celebration to himself, but instead he is going to give the fans a great fight. Even though he will have a tough road ahead if he is going to pull out an upset over Cotto, this is why he was always one of my favorite boxers.

Oscar always chooses the wrong guy to win.
He is worse than ****ing Teddy Atlas.

LOL, Did anyone hear teddy atlas' "reason" for Floyds Retirement yesturday on friday night fights?

The floyd who toyed and beat him? LOL! Oscar's willing to fight who ever's outthere, and you know why? He's at the end of his career. He's desperate. He never won against an elite fighter.

damn now cotto's gonna lose!!!de la hoya is a curse look what happened to hatton

Vernon Forrest and Winky are both too big for Oscar, especially at his age now.. De La Hoya is a fat welterweight who allowed himself to get out of shape and is the reason why he now fights where he is at..
If he can't make welter IMO he should just retire because he cant at all compete at middleweight vs anybody.
I think it's unrealistic to want him to fight Winky or Forrest though.. too much of a size difference. Y'all just hating on the guy.. I think he should have retired after Mayorga.. but since he still at it.. he should take a competitive fight that he can win, do his thing and just retire. That way he will get the final victory and last huraah hes always wanted and he can leave boxing in peace and alone.



He was trying to protect his investment of course.. if you are making money of a fighter wouldn't you want him to win? Anyway, because Oscar gave him advice doesn't mean it was bad advice or bad sparring partners.. It's that Ricky Hatton is at a lower level then Floyd and it wouldn't of help him anyway.. Someone more suitable could have used the same resources and prob done great!

winky and forrest to big//forrest just went to 1254 and was the welter weight champ. winky and oscar are the same height//wasn't oscar much bigger than floyd? gatti? wasn't he trying to fight pacman hatton?

He also knows Margarito will lose to Cotto.

He also knows that he loves fishnet stockings.
