De la Hoya would never fight PBF

[Memorex]

Oscar is still the biggest draw in boxing . A fight between Oscar and the #1 p4p fighter , would make so much money.

[The Noose]

Oscar has always fought the best around.
Im not a big fan of his, but i believe he is the one fighter who has fought every dangerous opponent he could have.

[+= El Jefe=+]

If there's still one fight left in Goldie, and I think there is, I just don't see him taking on Mayweather, for several reasons:

1. There's a hell of a lot more money in two other fights (Tito and Feroz)
2. There's more money in two other fights (Mosley and Winky)
3. PBF is an extremely dangerous fight for Oscar, especially for his farewell fight.
4. I think he'll more likely a) try to get the most money, and b) try to avenge some loses (Tito and Mosley)

So for DLH - PBF to happen, Tito needs to remain retired, Vargas needs to lose vs. Mosley, and Mosley needs to look like **** in beating Vargas.

In other words, not happening.

ill give you 8 million reasons why it will happen

there have been an influx of really baseless, if not funny threads comin out lately, i really thought this was one of them... but i think morancito is quite serious in what he said

Hey Morancito, did you read the new Ron Borges article that Big Poppa put up. This is a quote from it: In the final days before he faced down Mayorga and in the hours immediately after, De La Hoya said he wasn't sure what he would do next. He understood that the world and those who pay him millions want him to square off with young Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who is widely perceived to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, on Sept. 16. He has talked often about retiring with a fight on that day and if it were against Mayweather he knows it would shatter all his previous pay-per-view records. It would be the classic confrontation of Aging Lion and Young Gun and, if he wins, it would eliminate any thought of other opponents.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Another article by a different guy saide la Hoya, now 33, has held world titles at six weights in what has been one of boxing's most glorious careers, and he insists that he has just one fight left - and he has picked Mayweather for 16 September. Mayweather is the International Boxing Federation welterweight champion, which means that the pair, who once seemed destined never to meet, are now separated by just 7lb in weight; there shall inevitably be a compromise because their superfight would generate a payday in excess of $25m (£13.4m) for each of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------


I told you the Mayweather fight would be as big or even bigger. Cant you see all the subplots and why casual fans would be more interested in this fight then the others? The 2nd guy just said that it would be 25mil for each. Now I dont think Oscar would split it with him but I could see Oscar getting 30 and Floyd 20

[mgkirkpatrick]

word. i think he has to fight floyd for his legacy. and i think n e one who thinks it wont sell is nuts. who wouldnt wanna see this **** go down.

It would be good for boxing if DLH fought PBF - and PBF won. It's DLH's last fight, and boxing needs a new megastar to emerge. PBF should be that guy. It's a shame PBF has been protected and isn't there already. He is 29 and still hasn't had one defining fight.

For DLH, he doesn't need the money and is fighting for a legacy, and doesn't want to go out with a loss in his last fight. PBF seems a bit too risky. I'd say that right now someone is on the phone with Trinidad and offering him $10M for a fight at 154. DLH-Trinidad will generate more money than DLH-PBF. PBF is virtually unknown outside of hardcore boxing fans. Trinidad is a legend.

even the most idiotic boxing fan knows pbf and what he can do in the ring

it's just the right time to make dlh-pbf fight happen. if oscar is really up to making a legacy of his own... he should kick pfb's ass.

this is the perfect "legacy fight"

[bigdlb12]

to say that PBF is an extremely dangerous, and who honestly thinks Mayorga wasnt?

PBF has yet to face a fighter like Oscar, but Oscar has faced fighters like mayweather , however I think Oscar's power would keep PBF at bay

why would someone believe in that little girl?
