De La Hoya is Convinced That Marquez Beats Mayweather

[bojangles1987]

De La Hoya is either,

a) trying to sell the fight
b) always backs fighters against guys who beat him
c) both

Would be great for boxing if Marquez won but I can't see it.

Yep. Everything that comes out of Oscar's mouth in an interview is calculated and thinking about business.

His Convinced???
How Convinced???

The same way he was convinced that he'll beat PBF??
The same way he was convinced that Hatton would bet PBF???
The same way he was convinced he'll beat Pacquiao???
The same way he was convinced that Hatton would beat Pacman??
The same way he is convinced that PBF/JMM will sell more than MP/Cotto??

is this the same Oscar that told Hopkins there was no doubt that he beat Taylor in their 1st fight!!

only the ones that have fought floyd know exactly how to beat floyd , when has floyd ever given a rematch besides the castillo 1, cuz he knew he lost, if de la hoya and mayweather would have fought again i guarantee u that floyd would have lost the fight, that is why he went for hatton after they had already set up the rematch and thats why oscar chose forbes for his tune up in may for a sep rematch with floyd, this is marquez time and floyd will loose this fight

Oscar became a ***** when he became a buisness man. I have great respect for him as a fighter but the last few years since becoming a big promoter all he does is talk ****, hype up ****, disrespects great fighters like Pac and Floyd when he should respect the men who beat him. Through nearly all he says and does nowdays his greed and ill will against the smaller men who beat him in the ring shines right through. I liked Oscar because he fought anyone and never gave up and because he seemed like a nice guy, never a bad word against anyone. Then he quits against Pacquiao and all he does since then is look for opportunitys to disrespect and talk down Pacquiao. He does the same thing to Floyd usually only not as bad because Floyd didn't make him quit. Show some class Oscar.

Didn't he say something about Hatton beating Manny?

somebody in the boxing world needs to seperate predictions from emotionally charged personaly biased opinions..

Oscar record at predicting fights is about as good as own record from his last 6 fights


and he keeps hangin on to this jab thing... everyone watching the fight knew he needed to keep jabbing after watching his early success..hed like you to believe that he just stopped and doesnt know why.. i know why..he was getting countered and it hurt.. theres no other reason you would stop using your most effective punch mid fight for no apparent reasons..these things just don happen on a proffesional level..

Should it not be? It's called ........PROMOTION people.

I don't expect this fight to be boring. As a real fan of the sport, i could appreciate the way they would try to figure out each other styles even if it does mean, having to wait for one throw a punch. Marquez is a real textbook fighter and i can see him stunning floyd and winning some rounds. But floyd is too slick and too big, he'll definitely have an advantage in size because of the weight.

Im pushing for mayweather to win this fight though so that we could see him against pac. This will be the biggest fight of the decade imo. to settle who really is p4p?

I can appreciate your opinion on the fight but you are wrong on several points. Who else deserved a rematch other than Castillo and according to your logic, Castillo should have won the second fight fight. Two, Floyd fought Hatton for MONEY-M-O-N-E-Y. Cause it will get you anything you want to buy. People did not want to see that Oscar fight again, go back and read the old posts. However, he would have fought Oscar after the Hatton fight but PBF wasn't willing to make the concessions he made to get the first Oscar fight. It was some of the same concessions that Paulie made with Golden Boy to fight Diaz. And lastly, it seems a bit silly to say that you can guarantee the victory of a fight that didn't happen.. don't you think? BTW, did you see Oscar's face after the Forbes fight? I believe that was a prelude my friend.
