Comments Thread For: de la Hoya: I Have Decided To Stay Retired

[BrometheusBob.]

Well thank christ.. but I fear this won't be the last we hear about the golden boy's return

[Carpe Diem]

Oh, i was so worried that he'd come out of retirement. I actually lost sleep over it too. You made the right choice, Oscar! I don't know how the sport will progress without you.

Shocker...I guess the high wore off...

High heels, more like. :sneak2:

This isn't over. Mayweather will now mock and challenge him relentlessly...because, that's the kind of guy he is--

Oscar tried to do his first road work...ran 200yards and decided against the comeback

I literally laughed out loud

I agree on it being more attention-grabbing than anything else... but why would he want to bring more attention to Golovkin? And worse, to the fact that none of his middleweights want to fight him?

Because it simultaneously brings attention to both him and Canelo. A non story, he never even considered it.

I would like to have seen him come back one more time, so that he can get that out of his system. Kinda like movie Rocky Balboa, let the 'beast' out one more time. A great fighter he was, never ducked anybody, 'Golden Boy'.

Such a attention whoooore, its unbelievable.

He was never going to come back, just wanted his name in the spotlight for a little while.

[Build That Wall]

And later on this week he will say he is thinking of coming back again

Yep. And then his wife will send him back to rehab
