De La Hoya: "Floyd Mayweather Jr. Never Took Risks"

[Benny Leonard]

well when you make cowardly decisions like this you can ruin your whole career which really is your legacy. de la hoya has everything to lose and nothing to gain if he wins this fight. this is a fraud,a waist of time,and not good for boxing.this just takes money from boxing fans. oscar is a ducking coward.

Is it worse than fighting a "Shot" fighter?

people just like to hate. This fight is a waste of time cause Oscar cant win in this fight.

But its not any worse then when Floyd fought Henry Brusseles, or when Hopkins fought Robert for the 3rd time. Or even joe calzaghe fighting Roy Jones.

Kevin Bacon if he rocks up in the same form he was in during "Death Sentence".

Exactly. I'm thinking a lot of these ignorant De la Hoya haters barely tuned into his career. They know nothing about his past. Either that or they're hating on him cause their girlfriend or wife is in love with the fella. When it's all said and done Oscar will go down as the greatest Latino boxer ever and the greatest business man of sports. Can't wait til he knocks out Pacman.

Or, is it that your the one "in love with the fella"....

I agree, but it's not like Manny would fight some legitimate fight if he couldn't get Oscar. Manny, is a full blown opportunist, especially with an emotional trainer like Roach. They didn't let Manny go against Soto or Guzman, who are his age and prime equivalents, and probably lively enough to give Manny more then he's use to.

Basically Manny's people have given him fights that closley resemble the bums he fought in the Phillipine islands, the moments where they tried to step up and saw the problems Manny has had...Well that's probably got them more shook then Shaggy and Scooby Doo after seein a ghost pirate lmao....

Sotto and Guzman? lolsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Guzman can't even handle his **** at 135..... Your man Sotto don't do anything **** about Guzman but to complain... ahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

Like when Oscar took risks against Trinidad? Won the entire fight until he stopped taking risks and coasted his way to the L.

Taking risks by fighting PAC? I like Oscar but he's just calling out a PBF. He's starting to realize he's not going to make BIG recorded breaking numbers/MONEY with Pac.

If DLH says Mayweather never took risk what does that say about himself as a fighter?

[brently1979]

shane mosley is past his prime.he's older than de la hoya and he's fight margarito january 24. do you not think that margarito is a risk. the bottom line is that de la hoya still has no heart nor balls

This is a really good point. Why the **** didn't Oscar fight Margarito? This would have been for the Welterweight belt.

But, DLH is just an Actor looking for a big lead role.
