Oscar De La Hoya Plans To Continue, Win or Lose

[IMDAZED]

for the sake of boxing this ****** should retire. Leave with the little respect you still have from your fans that are either women or people who believe any of the bull**** fed to them by HBO. Although i know the chances are slim I hope Manny Ko's De La Hoya into retirement. Although his fights are big that doesnt necessarily mean they are good for the sports. After his fight with mayweather i had to hear a bunch of people talk about how they won't order boxing anymore and will stick to mma. Although MMA is boring as hell they at least know how to market wisely.

Right on. Solid post.

He wants to continue if he loses?

dlh isn't going to lose... he's just saying that so people believe it's actually a competitive fight.

dlh knows he can't end his career by beating up a midget.

Good for him. He's not over-the-hill yet anyway.

Good for him. He's not over-the-hill yet anyway.

Yeah, you're right.

I mean, he's only 3-3 in the last six years, even though it should be 2-4 (Sturm) and one of those wins was a pretty shabby performance against Steve "Mini-Me" Forbes.

I'm glad that he's going to keep fighting after Manny knocks him out in 7. Love him or hate him, Oscar brings a lot of money to the sport.

Oscar is a business genious! He is known for bringing boxing BACK on the map for drawing MASSIVE crowds and his MASSIVE following. Beating Pac, which he should do rather easily, now apparently, was only a dillusion. LOL, no **** Oscar. NOW, he is going on record, BEFORE the fight with Pac, to pretty much take Hatton as his next opponent, which is the OTHER monster draw he could face. Jesus Christ, why have 1 golden egg when you can buy one and get the other free! Oscar, as I have said SO many times, you are/were a great boxer and have done COUNTLESS things for the sport as a mainstream - but STOP, this is just ****ing sickening.

Not only that, but beating Pac AND Hatton, JUST MIGHT, bring MissingMoneyMayweather out of retirement for a THIRD mega fight. Gotta love Oscar.

funny cuz the fighters who announce their retirement early usually get robbed in a fight so promoters can cash-in on the next champ, smart move...but oscar still suks!
