Oscar De La Hoya is a man who has done Legendary thingz in boxing, and who is very busy establishing himself as a promoter. Fair enough. But with every one and his uncle and their uncle calling Oscar out for a payday, where is the former Super Featherweight phenom who eventaully became a Middleweight Champ? Someones gotta tell him his time is running out and if the "Golden Boy" is gonna go out with a win, he's gonna have to do it soon before he finally starts to rust. Who would you like to see him fight if someone finds him, and does he win ?

Hard to come back when you can't find an opponent from 160 all the way down to 140 that you can beat. -

De La Hoya Eyes Fights With Vargas, Wright and Trinidad for 2006!
By G. Leon
June 28, 2005 - Yesterday afternoon, former six division champion Oscar De La Hoya informed members of the press in attendance at Bernard Hopkins open workout in Miami that the three opponents on his radar for 2006 are Winky Wright, Felix Trinidad and Fernando Vargas. Since Trinidad has again retired, and De La Hoya has little to no chance of defeating Winky Wright, Fernando Vargas seems to be the most realistic opponent of the three as of now. Vargas will face Javier Castillejo on HBO in Chicago on August 20 before he thinks about avenging his 2002 KO loss to the Golden Boy. In the past De La Hoya has said that he would never give a rematch to someone he's knocked out, apparently his opinion has changed since Vargas and not Zab Judah, Antonio Margarito, Floyd Mayweather Jr, or Shane Mosley is among his final three choices.Comment

"Since Trinidad has again retired, and De La Hoya has little to no chance of defeating Winky Wright" was that your ppst or was that in the article b/c i believe DLH has a good chance to beat winky. DLH is a boxer and not one demensional like trinidad so winky would have to work harder to beat him. Winky used Trinidad as a chew toy, he won't do the same to DLH IMO.Originally posted by KNOX-BOXER
Also, Varges should have like 3 more fights before he chooses to rematch DLH.Comment

Don't forget (like most people seem to) how long Tito was away from the ring. Oscar beat up a much better Tito than Winky did, and Oscar vs. Winky would be a much better fight compared to Winky vs. Trinidad. Zab Judah vs. De La Hoya would also not suprise me as Oscar would have a distinct advantage if he could get Judah to gain some weight. Never the less, could Oscar be making the same mistake Trinidad did if he stays away so long and attempts to fight again with the big boys?Comment

oscars looked like **** his last few fights.barely won sturm
he's walking around at 180+ now.
when i heard him say he couldn't fight in september because his wife was having a baby in january it made me think that his heart isn't in it anymore.
if he does come back he's going to stick to easy fights like vargas(boy did he look weird his last fight).
winky would take him to school. oscar would have less luck than mosley did against winky.Comment
