Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Still Mulling Potential Ring Return at 42

[texasboi15]

He has Canelo...and Matthysse. Adding himself to his own stable would create a big buzz for GBP. Even though it would be in a circus type of way, it would still be massive attention. He'd fight GGG just to make GGG a PPV fighter to put him in vs Canelo, in a big PPV fight. If DLH does this, that would probably be the most hardcore promotional tactic a promoter has ever done, that I know of Why else would he want to come back, he's bored?

Absolutely this a promotional stunt. But I like it. GoldenBoy needs a jolt! And boxing needs storylines.

Believe me Oscar is STILL the biggest star on GB.

When Floyd retires and Mayweather Promotions starts to suck, he'll be doing the same thing.

After Oscar faces GGG he'll go back to drinking again...

This time through a straw.

Dam ODLH needs to make up his mind. And by that I mean he needs to stay retired.

This time through a straw.

ROFL.

Schaefer ran and built GBP not Oscar.

Oscar has run GBP into the ground without Schaefer. Schaefer was the brains and the business man at GBP and Oscar was the pretty face and glad hander smiling but doing little. Without Schaefer GBP will fail. Hispanics cannot run any business but yard work and fruit stands and drug dealing. Oscar needs to hire a brain who can think and add fgor GBP to survive. Watch what happens at the floundering GBP..

He should stay away. DLH didnt really take care of himself that well to be back in the ring. Too much drinking, drug use, etc. If he does whip himself into shape he would be a shell of who he was at best.

Oscar de la Hoya, boxing's former "Golden Boy" who retired in 2008, is reportedly considering a comeback at age 42.

De la Hoya says he is clean and sober after twice undergoing rehabilitation for drugs and alcohol and is fit as ever.

"I feel great - 42 is the new 32," de la Hoya told ESPN. "I feel amazing. In my life right now, I have so much motivation. I am so hungry and so determined."

Why not? He could fight Robert Guerrero. Or Maidana, clinch him and pay a ref to not allow inside work. No big deal.

Think about it imagine if he made a comeback vs Martinez with shot knees? He would be lineal champ right now. Or even against Sam Soliman for his belt.

Usually I am not a negative person, especially on forums but God, you are a de****able human being. One day you will realize that ignorant **** like that makes you look petty and outright ridiculous. People like you make me completely sick and should be treated as a pariah to the sport of boxing and society in general; you sit behind a computer and spew garbage because you aren't held accountable. Not only are you a petty human being but you are a coward. The messed up thing about people like you is that you go and have children and you raise them thinking the same ignorant **** that you think which makes the same vicious circle continue. The lovely thing about people like you is that karma is a ***** and always comes back to bite you in the ass. Hopefully your daughter marries a Hispanic man so he can **** that level of thinking out of her. :*******:

Oscar has NEVER looked in fighting shape since his retirement.

Is Golden Boy Promotions doing that badly that he needs to come back??

It seems that GBP is doing that bad, with or without Oscar's 'comeback'...
