News Flash: De La Hoya Couldve Been Fighting At 147

All greedy people are. Floyd was a con artist himself

true but atleast floyd had the balls to tango with bigger fighters for the money

He has to kill himself to make the weight, not being the type who maintains weight constantly by training year-round - under such circumstances, moving up is the correct choice. For a one-fight occasion it's doable.

and when he realized it was time to quit he quited instead of having a series of meaningless fights before that. Even in his last fight he was defending his belt.

threads that get off subject and start critisizing boxers for making money are so ****** and pointless..you guys that call them greedy know damn well if you could make 30 million off a fight then you would as many times as you can before calling it quits..mark my words, part of floyd "retiring" this year was just to add more hype to the De La Hoya vs Mayweather 2 next year..after oscar beats pacquiao like he is supposed to then he can say he beat the number 1 p4p best, and makes the fight look like a meaningful fight again..or he may even fight margarito on cinco de mayo weekend next year and when he wins that(because he knows margarito is a technically amatuer fighter) then it will add interest to the rematch that wasnt there this year and be the biggest fight of all time against mayweather in the rematch
