Does it involve belt to be won? If so, I think Khan will be more motivated to defeat the Golden Boy. Well, if not by belt then it's all about money, the pandemic really hurts some boxers butt to the edge that announced they will fight for glory again.

What can I say, it's too odd for the Golden Boy and his chance of winning was not even at 30, just my two cents.

As mentioned that this one would be different since he's been aiming for professional counted bout which means it would really involved some belt on this one unlike other popping out boxing events
on where they are just purely an exhibition but this one is different.

Yeah its too odd and at the same time its just stupid that he do think that he can beat out someone on his prime compared to him that already aged that much?
But well its his own body and if he do really confidently believe on his boxing then so be it.

I don't think some belts are on the line since this is most likely some exhibition fight. Anyway, his fight will likely turn into boring match since those two boxers are not supposed to fight each other base on their current situations. As I said before, Oscar needs to look for someone who is not like Khan because he is no longer that popular anymore since he has lost a couple of times. If they want to pursue this, then I don't really bother to watch it since the result will be pretty obvious, Oscar's body is not fit for boxing fight anymore. in his current state, he will lose this fight for sure.

Legends are trying to make a comeback, they really must have needed the money just as Dana said. Hard to believe though that De la Hoya is on coke.

let's see who will be the winner, before that I will choose Oscar De La Hoya who will be the winner of this match because I see the strength and preparation of Oscar De La Hoya is very good, just waiting for the match broadcast time will definitely be a very exciting game .

hoya need money badly for his habits , thats why he is hungry for a win but you shouldnt be confident because you dont know if what are the surprise of other boxer .

his age is also one of his advantage for this fight but thats better atleast we know a few of thier strengths , that shall make the fight more exciting and fans cant wait for this to start .

After Mike Tyson come back announcement a lot of boxers that once announced to have hanged up their gloves decide to come back to the ring of fight, I heard about Holyfield a couple of weeks and now is Oscar De La Hoya.

This is a different scenario, De La Hoya coming back but fighting a younger fighter, way younger as more than 10 years younger than him.
I like to see if he still has something to give by beating a younger fighter like Pacman has been doing lately.

You're absolutely right cause De La Hoya taking an active younger fighter as an opponent was a way for him to keep himself in check and if he lost the fight he will able to learn a pretty hard lesson.

Actually Amir Khan was calling for Pacman but he was not given a chance, so since Pacman beat De La Hoya which eventually made him retired, I think he has to show that he can beat De La Hoya first then he will get a shot with Pacman.

Oh yeah, thank you for reminding me this and I guess this was the reason De La Hoya choose Amir as him comeback fight opponet in other for him to completely know what he lose during his retirement maybe the next thing for him is to control his boxing career cause is about his love for boxing not the money.

Dana White's statement was well understood because after some years of no fight Oscar De La Hoya decides to come back and decided to fight against a stronger opponent.
In the meantime, time without risk no exists and that what Oscar De La Hoya is planning to do.

I think Oscar has always been making money despite not fighting because he has been actively promoting fights with his Golden Boy Promotion, and being a promoter that means you need to have a good capital in order to finance a fight.

I'm pretty aware of the situation and his Golden Boy Promotions was among the reason he hanged up his gloves early and was said to be the first American of Mexican to own a boxing promotional company.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the plans prior to retirement, but I admire that kind of mentality who have plans after boxing as a fighter as you can't fight forever but you can promote fight after you retire, I think that's the same way Pacman has been following now.

You're right but Pacman seems to spend him time on his son boxing career and his job as Senate.

It's easy to make money in promoting fighters that are well known, there wouldn't be a hype needed because the media itself will cover them. Its a win-win situation for both just like the come back of Myke and Jones.

Yeah i have been waiting for Mayweather to comeback and make another fight against manny.

Both of them will get a good paycheck if they will give this fight to the fans, unfortunately, it looks like Mayweather is not interested to fight Manny, he might be seeing himself losing this fight, so let's give a guy a rest and continue to fight an exhibition fight with mismatch opponent.

Quote from: peter0425 on August 24, 2020, 07:21:56 AM

Khan is much better but lets see whats the promoter will provide ,But i doubt if he could still fight like what he was in the past 10 years.

We will never know unless we see it.

Yes, they are coming out from retirement, let's expect Floyd to come out also, soon. (hopefully).

i Use to be a fan of Oscar because of His speed and skills but when He Faces Many Pacquiao? i see a different Oscar and it looks like the game is not that serious and only taken for the Money Pot.

anyway lets see what happens when he goes up again the ring and whom he will be facing.

He should have not quite right away, it was a mismatch, David vs Goliath fight but if Oscar choose to continue, he can still fight boxers at his height and not as fast as Manny. Khan should be a good match to him.

Khan is much better but lets see whats the promoter will provide ,But i doubt if he could still fight like what he was in the past 10 years.

To be honest I was quite surprised some boxing legends decided to come back, I don't know what the cause is. But this is good news
for boxing fans, they can see their idols fight again. Although his performance might not be as good as when he was young. I am quite
curious about the Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan boxing match, as the age difference is quite large. Amir Khan should be able to win
easily, because he is at the peak of his career right now.It's a tough fight for Oscar De La Hoya.

The reason it become stupid, worst, or uninterested to others is because Oscar Dela Hoya is not just stepping out of retirement for an exhibition match or what but he is really aiming to be active again in boxing.

In other words, a boxing career, real boxing, and that are the reason why he called out for a boxer that is still on prime.

I thought first that this is just the same as doings of the other legends that want to come back at the ring but it's different since it will be a professional record match. Count me now on those people that considering Dela Hoya's idea as stupid.

Its indeed stupid and i didnt even expect for him to have that kind of decision on where this day he do make up some decision to go back in trail just like theres nothing happened without even considering on how old he is, he did have some time to think off first about that matter or just simply ignore it?

Its understandable if it would be an exhibition match but this one do go with the on actual professional match.Whats up to his mind? Fighting a boxer on his prime for his comeback to be noticeable?

And with so many retired fighters making a comeback, It just shows that boxing maybe dead in this pandemic. Do you guys agree?

No, I don't think that boxing is dead, all sports are suffering from the pandemic but it doesn't mean that they are dying. Oscar's reason is that he missed boxing, Pacquaio already gave him a beating, so I don't know how can he missed boxing for that. It was reported that the has a net worth of $200 million https://www.sportscasting.com/oscar-de-la-hoya-used-his-massive-net-worth-to-buy-a-pro-soccer-team/. So that's a lot of money to buy cocaine.

Even if boxing has already started to recover with new matches having just staged, it is not the kind of boxing that we used loved before the pandemic. A boxing match with no live noisy crowd is not the same kind of boxing.

Oscar's reason is very shallow and obviously just an alibi. This is surely about money. Missing boxing is one thing. Getting out of retirement and back into his professional career is another.

But let him fight professionally once again and be badly beaten by a much younger fighter so that he will finally realize that his golden days are now gone.

There's this force that made him want to come back as Tyson and Roy will have their match soon. I find ESPN's headline is funny.

Worst decision of Oscar if he really decides to make a comeback (and not just hyping boxing fans). He is too old for this. I don't simply agree with this decision. Manny is doing it at age 40 because he is active. But we can't say that about Oscar, you just have to look at his picture. Here is Oscar's statement about his boxing return.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/29698240/oscar-de-la-hoya-47-says-ending-retirement-resume-boxing-career

From the looks of it, he doesn't have it anymore. The training period is not enough for him to attain even half of his original power inside the ring. Maybe. But let's see... Why are retired old boxers are going back inside the ring, whether for an exhibition match or actual fight? What's in it for them? Redemption or Money or both?

It would take even a lot of time preparing to recover his former body form, and to be able to endure those hard punches, his will is strong but his body would easily crumble to a tough opponent. It would be insane that he could regain some of his punching power in just 8 weeks. He's so out of the game for a very long time, just stay where you are or you're definitely just gonna take some beating.

Oscar De La Hoya is following Myke Tyson and he announced possible return to boxing at his 47 year.
His potential opponent is Amir Khan who called him out before to come back.

De La Hoya won 11 world titles with 39 wins and 6 loses
Amir Khan is much younger, 33 years old, with 34 wins and 5 loses.

I think it is crazy to fight at his age with 14 years younger active boxer.
Interesting was comment from UFC Dana White who said quoting: 'Cocaine isn't cheap' Grin

Your opinions?

maybe the retired boxers are now taking the stage again and gaining popularity from the fans?
Oscar Dela Hoya "The Golden Boy" is one of the fastest in His prime but Many Pacquiao brings HIm to losing and retires after.

but i have no care about this fight because none of them is part of my boxing Idols.

The retried boxers like La Hoya or Myke Tyson may gain fame again by coming back on the stage but they need to proof themselves that they have the same stamina and energy. It will be difficult to perform as they did before because of lack of match practice.

Lol but that is far from reality mate,"Having the same stamina and energy'? are you serious?these boxers are retired and aged already so how come that you can expect them to same as when they are still in Good shape?

what they need to do is to prove they can still stand in Boxing ring and can fight willingly,Win or lose it doesn't matter what maybe the important thing is they can make the fans shout again in their favor.
