Boxing: Do you believe Oscar De La Hoya will return to the ring to fight?

Who should he fight? He has mention Mayweather and Golovkin. I think if anyone... Hopkins, Jones Jr or Mosley.

    Oscar can not be serious on this and for him to say that he want the Triple G is insane. Golovkin won t even think of fighting him unless there s some serious money offered and who is that stupid who want to make the offer.

    No, I don't believed Oscar is coming back as a fighter.

    I doubt he does. I am positive he would't fight a top prime guy. GGG would put him in the hospital for sure. I agree with the other 3 you said though. I could def. see a fight like that happening. I could see Oscar fighting another old opponent.

    Oscar is not going to make a come back unless there is some very serious money in it for him. He is making plenty with his Golden Boy promotions. I doubt he would even try to fight again.

    No, he is done for. If he does, it'd be ill fated. BQ: GGG would kill em, Moseley shouldn't be anywhere near a ring, rjj should retire, hopkins should retire. If does come back, he'd probably fight ggg.

    No, DLH is delusional.

    If he did, it wouldn't be against anyone good. Fun fact, that'd make him the fourth fighter to fight after already being inducted into the IBHOF.

    Oscar De La Hoya is in prison for fraud you idiot.

    No. Oscar is a greedy opportunistic person. He's obsessed with Floyd Mayweather and still harbors a deep hatred and jealousy towards him. Oscar has no intentions to return to boxing because he knows he would get seriously hurt. He's just trying to grab whatever attention he can.

    .

    Floyd really got under Oscar's skin leading up to their fight. However, much of it was hype and basically forgotten once Floyd reached his goal. At that time, Floyd wanted to be where Oscar was and beating him in the ring was the only way to do it. Mission Accomplished. Floyd didn't instantly ascend to #1 but, unlike his much less intelligent contemporary, Mosley, he took the win and parlayed it into what we see today. IOW, he was wise enough to realize that the Oscar win was only an avenue, not instant success.

    .

    Mosley, on the other hand, foolishly declared himself "The Michael Jordan of boxing" and went on to have hisAss handed to him by Vernon Forrest. Mayweather just became A better Mayweather and, like him or not, has made the best that a fighter could make of a career chance win over the most marketable fighter in the sport.

    .

    Like Mosley, De la Hoya didn't make the best of the exposure. The difference is that Oscar was still the man but squandered the position. There are a ton of reasons why Oscar is still obsessed with Floyd, while Floyd has just moved on.

    .

    Believe me. Oscar has no intentions to come back. He's just trying to grab a little attention because none of his hand picked cronies have succeeded in upsetting Floyd. He acts like a jilted ex-girlfriend. Every time Floyd fights a fighter from south of the border, you can see Oscar's big, inflated head in the background with his tired "I gave this man the blueprint...........blah, blah, blah......." It gets SO tiresome.

    .

    Oscar needs to sit hasAss down. He's not #1 in the sport anymore.

    Nah, we saw how the smaller Pacquiao toyed with him and made him look, well, old. And that was 7 years ago. You don't expect him to miraculously get "young" again, do you?

  • 6 years ago

    He might. Gonna get laid out real quick against GGG if he does though.
