Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: If I Return, I Want Gennady Golovkin

[frantic fighter]

GGG is white, he appeals to whites and has a large number of Latino fans thanks to his style.

Mosley was a "nice" boring black guy, the complete opposite of Fraud. Everyone buys Fraud PPVs to see him lose, nobody gave two craps about Mosley from the very beginning.

Plus he went on his bum of the month tour after beating De La Hoya before he lost twice in a row to Forrest. So he never had a chance to increase his stock after the DLH win.

Moseley was never boring he fought in a fan friendly style and fought everybody,he was also extremely humble which some fans lie and say they like about a fighter.In reality Mosley was a descent earner he just never seemed to be able catapult himself up their with mega stars of the sport.

Lets see Oscar come back and KO Khan, that would be the most legendary moment in the history of the sport.

[WESS]

Been wondering if Hoya is just trying to get GGG in the media to help promote his next fight that I would assume be vs a Golden Boy fighter? Or does Hoya really think he's coming back? lol

I personally wouldn't mind see Oscar come back with all the bs fights that are taking place nowadays.. At the end of the day they are both men and both got arm fists and chins... I've seen plenty of younger dudes in real life getting knocked out by ogs.. Not saying that delahoya woukd ko ggg lol but why not watch it? He's entitled to do what ever he wants. Some people are making ggg to be a cyborg from the future.. He's def in his prime and has an aura of invincibility but many fighters had that at one point... Let's remember George foreman vs Michael morrer folks... Both are human begins anything is possible

Mosley fought everyone and was all fighter he didnt have cross over apeal, hate him or not When Money May went on Dancing with the stars and WWE he positioned himself as a crossover star, now his every move is on TMZ, he has 10s of miilion of followers on twitter, instagram and people who just want to know what he is doing. Thats branding noone except boxing fans care about Mosley who is way more exciting than Floyd. Its about branding in the modern world. There is a reason floyd did higher numbers against Ortiz than Manny did against Marquez??? Because more than just boxing fans care about what hes doing. No one cares about what GGG does other than in a ring he will never be a ppv attention spans are too short. Blockbuster movies come out everyweekend we live in a different world

I can't believe anyone would get excited over this! Oscar vs GGG, I'll pass.

[nacho daddy]

Agree.

DLH fought them all.

His win-loss record might not be the best against some of the names, but it really is a murders row of fighters that he went up against.

yea but Oscar faked the KO body punch from hopkins

I never called him boring, I called him humble and black. And that was his problem, he was a humble black guy, and that didn't appeal to anyone. If he atleast had the charisma of GGG, he would've made a bigger name for himself.

Fraud was/is the loud black guy everyone hopes to see lose.

Also didn't help that after the DLH win he hired the talent agency that Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters had, great for them, they know how to sell golfers and tennis players and expose them more to the general public through ads and such, bad for a niche sport like boxing.

And you know this how??He was an aging former junior lightweight taking on someone that had fought their entire career at middleweight.Their are weight divisions for a reason.
