Oscar De La Hoya: record, next fight and profile →
Former undisputed junior middleweight champion Winky Wright (51-6-1, 25 KOs) fought a who's who of top fighters during his career. Some of those boxers included Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley, Felix Trinidad, Jermain Taylor, Ike Quartey, Bernard Hopkins, Paul Williams and Peter Quillin.
Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) is already working hard as he prepares for the upcoming rematch with WBC/WBA/IBO middleweight world champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs).
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar de la Hoya is expecting Saul "Canelo" Alvarez to score a knockout victory in his upcoming rematch with IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin. The Canelo vs. Golovkin rematch will take place on September 15 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya feels confident that Lucas Matthysse will end the career of eight division champion Manny Pacquiao, 39-years-old, when they meet on July 15 (July 14 in America) in Kuala Lumpur Lumpur, Malaysia. They will battle for Matthysse's "regular" welterweight championship of the World Boxing Association.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar de la Hoya believes that some promoters are not willing to give fans the best fights simply because about the risk that those fights represent. And despite this, De La Hoya says Golden Boy Promotions has imposed a policy of putting together quality fights for their stable of boxers.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya likes that IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) continues to take verbal shots at Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs). According to De La Hoya, that will only feed the anger that Canelo brings with him to the ring that night.
There has been a lot of reports of the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Lucas Matthysse, scheduled for July 14th in Malaysia, not taking place as there are some financial issues plaguing that event. Golden Boy Promotions and Matthysse had been waiting on some money due to them the past few weeks.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, who promotes Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs), says everyone in Mexico is hoping his boxer scores a knockout victory in the upcoming rematch with IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs).
One of the biggest regrets Oscar De La Hoya has from his career in the ring is that he didn’t fight Felix Trinidad again. Not only would De La Hoya have had an opportunity to avenge his controversial loss to Trinidad, he would’ve made another enormous sum of money for their rematch. Fans wanted a second bout between them, but Trinidad eventually moved up to middleweight and was battered by Bernard Hopkins in their September 2001 fight at Madison Square Garden.
