Mayweather vs. De La Hoya, fixed or not?

[Bozo_no no]

I just ran across the article you're talking about.

I'll go find the articles that I read, where he said he wouldn't corner DLH.

Not sure what to think now.

It's discussed in the latest issue of Ring.

Mayweather Sr is on board if the fight happens.

Wasn't it a liver shot that put De La Hoya down? I don't care how big and strong you are, if you get hit there with the right amount of pressure, you're hitting the deck.

I could see it if only because this time De La Hoya will lose a decision. If Mayweather somehow KO's De La Hoya even half as questionable as Hopkins did and then signs Mayweather, I will never forgive Oscar for making a mockery of the sport.

Fool me once, fine. Fool me twice? Nah uh.

it was actually a punch that landed on the arm first, thereby taking all force out of the punch as it next caught the body. it was an arm punch. watch it 1000 times.

I have to claim ignorance here, because I've only seen it as it happened, and then in replay, but not from numerous angles. From the basic wide angle, the ref and shadows makes it too difficult for me to see the punch land on the arm.

It was clearly on the side and in the sweet spot. A shot like that can shock your whole system, and the severtiy of it depends on whether or not you're ready to accept it. Oscar didn't see it coming and wasn't flexing and ready to accpet it.

A good rule of thumb is to not listen to little trolls like Diego***o. We all know he wasn't even watching boxing back then. He's just a bitter little kid who likes to hate on certian fighters.

[bigtime9]

yeah on a certain race of fighters

Alright. First and foremost, I don't mean to dissappoint anyone or anything with this thread, or to put negative thoughts in your heads. If you truly want to ask a question I have about this fight being fixed then read on. If you don't then don't. You might even think it's the most ****** thread, but that's your opinion. Read at your own will. You've been warned.





I was talking to my uncle the other day who watches A LOT of boxing. I asked him whether he thinks DLH took a dive against Hopkins. He said of course, Hopkins punch didn't have any levrage (spelling) and he "hit" DLH with the palm of the glove which shouldn't even hurt at all even if it was flush to the face. He said DLH did that so that he could lose to Hopkins, then Hopkins would look good in the boxing world, then he would sign Hopkins to Golden Boy Promotions at the time when "Hopkins is the guy to beat because he KO'd DLH." Hopkins would have tons of opposition willing to pay millions to fight him. DLH would then get a sweet percentage. I had never looked at it that way before, but thinking about, I agreed 100%. Now with the Mayweather - DLH fight, he said it's fixed. I asked him why and he said because Floyd is usually considered as "the guy as good or barely better than DLH" today and DLH is just going to pass down the torch to Floyd, (since DLH is considered one of the best today) and once Floyd beats Oscar, DLH is going to sign Mayweather when he is ultimately "the guy to beat" again. He said he is doing the same thing he did with Hopkins, except this time he is going to retire and make money off of the newly signed Sultan Ibragimov, Barrera, Mosley, and now the best p4p fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather. He says with all that, plus the superfight with Mayweather is going to earn him a good 100 mil by the end of the year. And at least 70 mil every year for the next 10 years. Then he said DLH would retire everything and live rich for the rest of his life. All this really makes sense to me. I don't exactly agree with it, but I also can't deny the possibility. I would hate if DLH was in for the money. I hope DLH can beat Mayweather, then sign him and retire, my uncle said, "then Mayweather wouldn't be the guy to beat, and would have 10 times less opposition which means 10 times less the millions of dollars."

ANY OPINIONS AT ALL, EVEN IF YOURE CALLING ME AN IDIOT, POST THEM HERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always knew it was a dive. You could see from the beginning of the fight that BHOP was just carrying Oscar. I dont think he did it because he wanted to make BHOP the man to beat. BHOP is already the man to beat. I think he just stayed down so he could avoid further punishment. He was looking at a serious beat down and once he realized he had no chance he took the best escape route possible. A TREMENDOUS LIVER SHOT that landed on his elbow and grazed his liver, lol.

Of course the signing of BHOP probably had something to do with it too but I dont know. That could be it. Either way that fight was a joke. It's one of those fights that when looking at either DLH or BHOPs record I just ignore.

please...

I'm a HUGHE BHOP fan. This fight "doesnt" tarnish BHOPS legacy, he was doing his job and came in to do what he had to do.

IF anyone's reputation has been tarnished it is Oscars.

What I said was when I look at this fight on either of there records I dont take it seriously. This fight was not legit...your a fool if you think it was.
