This fight does not sound attractive. Mike Tyson is about to return to the ring but does not actually make a comeback to his professional boxing career. It ended when he retired. He is just going to do his upcoming match with Roy Jones Jr. for charity.
If the old golden boy is going to make a comeback not in the name of a charity or fundraising, he better reconsider his decision. If I were Oscar, I'd rather inspire, train, promote, and help young fighters realize their dreams inside the ring than steal the show from them.
Oscar's golden time is done. The next generation of boxers should now takeover. The same might be true for Amir Khan.

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'

Your opinions?
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.
Oscar De la Hoya - old and retired
Amir Khan - wash up fighter
So who you gonna choose between the two?
I don't think that Oscar has no money though, he had built an empire which is Golden Boy Promotions. I would understand Amir and I think if this is true, then probably another Mike Tyson exhibition type of match and not a real and competitive fight and there's no comeback, just one fight and that's it.

This age difference is certainly the biggest thing because somewhere it would not be justifiable, as Aamir would be fit as per his age and it is his playing age while for Hoya it is to rest but still having the fight with so much younger one. Hope the fight does not become one sided and we can see some tough match.
14 years age difference is really not a problem, it is not the advantage of the younger one. It is still the experience and dedication that matters. Don't be too confident about the age, it is the skill and professionalism inside the ring. Remember Pacquiao vs Thurman? Pacman dominated Thurman despite the 10 years gap, it is the speed.
I will still bet on Dela Hoya, probably this fight will be fair for the both sides.
This is a tough match to observe and wait for once it is surely announced, the battle between the two great boxer, the hall of famer Dela Hoya and the soon to be legendary Amir Khan.
This pairing is a little bit too much knowing that De La Hoya already retired while Amir Khan is currently fighting and Khan has most of the advantages aside from titles and experience.
I love to see this fight but if I will be going to bet, I will definitely bet to Khan as I can see a much higher percentage that he will win this match if it will likely to happen.

Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya are not in good terms for a very long time and whenever they get the opportunity they would swing at each other and the response from Dana White when asked about it was pure gold 
. Mike Tyson wanted to come back and now all the fighters who were retired for a decade wanted to make a comeback which is hilarious as everyone is looking to grab the opportunity to make money.I would not be surprised if we see a veteran champions league for old fighters usually Bellator was giving opportunity for these above 40 fighters in MMA and these fighters need a boxing version of Bellator
.
Oscar has nothing to prove anymore and his misconception that fighters are good in the old days will not do him good, he is past his prime, he likes to be Manny Pacquiao but this is putting himself in danger against someone like Amir Khan who is still dangerous someone close to him should advise Oscar.

It would not be, Oscar De La Hoya knows how Amir Khan fight, and the fact that he want to fight Amir Khan, that means he is confident.
A young Oscar De La Hoya would KO Amir Khan easiy, so Amir Khan here should not be so confident as Oscar is a fighter.
If Oscar wins and challenge Mayweather,.....
How about Manny? No?
Good for him, I thought Pacman already made him retired for good.
I'd love to see him fight and against Amir Khan, I'd go for Oscar De La Hoya if the odds are good against a glass chin Amir Khan. If Oscar wins and challenge Mayweather, that would be a hell of a fight if it will happe as their last outing was really entertaining, I even though Oscar won that fight.

This is like Pacquiao - Thurman fight where there is a huge gap between the ages of the boxers.
I though that De La Hoya retired already.
Anyway, this is just money talks as always. Golden Boy will not go back to the ring if it wasn't for the money. His prime years are over already. I'm not judging here since we don't know what can happen if they will really fight but there is a higher chance that Khan will win this even though he suffered a lot of losses in his past fights (the most memorable one is his lost against Alvarez).
There is a trend now where fighters who retired are going back to the ring for some reasons. Tyson did it first and so is De La Hoya. Who will be the next one?? Hatton possible or Mayweather.

LMAO, classic verbal jab from Dana White.
I really don't know what's happening on boxing right now, it seems that everyone wanted to comeback. Mike Tyson started the trend, but it is just for exhibition match. Both Oscar and Amir are wash out already, Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore? What weight they are going to fight? Oscar can't make 147 lbs and I don't if he can make 154 lbs, while Amir's highest fighting weight is 155 lbs at a catch weight against Canelo and we all know that he was KO flat on the canvass by Alvarez.
And that picture was probably when Khan won against Maidana, 10 years ago.

That looks like a picture from a few years ago,,, again he does seem to be the value bet at the moment, maybe he has been doing exactly what Tyson is doing in Covid lockdown and training up and secretly being fit (except the cocaine!).
He knows he is not fast anymore so maybe he bulks up?
He knows he is not fast anymore so maybe he bulks up?
That bulk will slow him down if he fights Amir Khan I am a fan of Oscar Dela Hoya he should protect his legacy by not going back to boxing and fighting a boxer like Amir Khan who is still in the prime of his career even though he has a lot of losses, Oscar will have a hard time connecting because of Amir's fast movement, he knows how to fight in a distance.

His last loss is very devastating he is very slow then what made him think that he can go toe to toe to a boxer like Amir Khan who is still in his prime although, many of his losses are via knock out Amir is still very fast and still strong, Khan will be a heavy favorite when they clash, I hope Oscar will change his mind this is not good for him.
16 years of Oscar's career will not cover the satisfaction of his experience in the ring and 47 years I don't think is too old to endure pain or injury. Moreover, his last match before retiring was closed with a defeat against Manny Pacquiao. I think what is most needed in this match (if it happens) is a strong mentality between both (legendary old boxers vs agile young boxers). I don't know much about Amir Khan, so I don't think this boxer is very well known.
However, it's interesting to watch

Is there someone will gonna buy this? it's so clear that Amer khan has all the advantage since De La Hoya is old also his prime is out and I don't even think its entertaining to watch this bout. This plan is purely business and I don't know if I will enjoy watching this match if they make this thing happen.
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.
Let's see if he can prove himself one more time at his age. Just how many years does Oscar De La Hoya since the last professional fight of him? Well, I hope they show us a very good fight. His potential opponent is Amir Khan who called him out before to come back.
