I was recently on a media conference call with Oscar De La Hoya. In less than two weeks, he will fight the best and toughest fighter he's ever faced in his career, undisputed Middleweight Champ Bernard Hopkins. What stood out to me is how confident De La Hoya sounded in his tone and demeanor. I believe there isn't a doubt in his mind that he'll beat Hopkins on September 18th. He consistently harped on his great condition and edge in speed as being the keys to beating Hopkins. From what I gathered, De La Hoya is resigned to the fact that he probably can't stop Hopkins. But he believes he can and will out box him.
