By Cliff Rold - How old is Oscar De La Hoya?
It’s the question at the heart of this weekend’s major Boxing event. The calendar says he’s 35 but, in Boxing, age is not determined just by the calendar. Bernard Hopkins can at 43 fight like a fan half his age while a Fernando Vargas can be twice his age in ring years by 30. If De La Hoya’s 35 is closer to Carlos Monzon’s than it is Ray Leonard’s, can he lose? [details]

I hope I'm wrong by the way. I hope that Oscar shows up strong, Pac can take the left anyways, and we get a classic which gives us the modern Armstrong Boxing needs.
