Comments Thread For: De La Hoya On Fighting Canelo: I Never Back Down From Anybody; We'll Have To Wait & See

Oscar says he wants fights but he really means tights

[Curtis2]

Yep, I always thought he took a dive

100% that fight was fixed, Sept 2004. BHop joins Golden Boy Promotions a month later in Nov 2004. Watch the fight again, both fighters had a hard time keeping a straight face through their 8 rounds of orchestrated sparring work. How not many recognized the fix is beyond beliefs...I'm in my 50's, Coors Light everyday and could've taken that body punch Oscar faked..

Blah blah blah. About three years ago he said he was going to come back and fight Golovkin. BS then, BS now.

Most well see is a Trinidad rematch because Tito is broke.

He never backed down from donning the old fishnets either.

Oscar coming back is a joke in the making. Boxing is so dead right now, thank you CV scamdemic. I don't take nothing Oscar says seriously.

[tokon]

Even by Oscar's standards, this is some ****** shit he's coming out with now.

Yes, that must be some good stuff he gets!

Anyone who has ever taken a liver shot (...and I’ve had my fair share), knows if you can’t beat a ten-count, you certainly don’t slap the canvas and pop right back up like Oscar did.
I never understood why he quit...he was doing ok, and wasn’t getting punished or walked down. He must have just had enough that night.

That fight draws big money - and results in Carnelo stopping De La Hoya brutally.

[Barristan]

Oscar got stopped twice and both times he quit...He'll go in there and try to win for 3 rounds then find a way out. Most likely fake and injury.
