Topic: [Boxing] Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan? (Read 649 times)

Quote from: cryptomaniac_xxx on August 26, 2020, 07:19:36 AM

It will not be entertaining is dela Hoya is not bringing his A game on the table. Amir Khan is extremely fast during his prime, but since he is also on the downside of this career, I don't know if he still has that explosiveness. I think Oscar chooses him because Amir Khan is known for his glass jaw, china chin that if anyone touches it, he is going to be knock out or knock down. But still is not as entertaining, just another joke fight, to be honest.

At least, Amir Khan younger than dela Hoya, which could have the potential to win in that match. Both fighters will try hard to give their best, but it will depend on how they can provide a punch at the right time. Amir Khan and dela Hoya is a fighter that we know have good stamina before, but dela Hoya already retired from boxing for eleven years, so although he still has power, I doubt he can still like before.

Age doesn't matter though in boxing, I'm sure you are familiar with Pacquaio winning against Keith Thurman.

I thought it's only for love, lol.

You may be young, but if you yourself has a weakness, in this case, a weak chin like Amir Khan, it doesn't matter if who touches it. If you still not convince how weak his chin is, look at Breidis Prescott destroying Khan (Amir's first lost), Canelo obliterating him in one punch, or even against Maidana, (he got lucky he got the win). I think you got my point.

Actually we can't compare De la Hoya to Pacman as his guy is having a success and active in boxing, but De la Hoya is not, he retired due to a lose from Manny and he was in active for a while, and now wants to come back against a younger fighter? He must be too confident,

Amir Khan is a joke with a glass jaw, I really wouldn't be surprised if Oscar De La Hoya beats him. Even at his age, De La Hoya probably has more skills than Khan.

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.

Every old fighter will lose their best performance when they are getting old, and that is what happens with all fighters. They say that they are still in the top performance, but they can not deny that their stamina will not be the same as a young age. I also doubt that he could still fight better like what he did in the past, but I think he still has the power to fights in the ring.

What important here is that They still wanted to entertain people even when they are already in their older time.
Imagine how this Boxers will still bring their opponent down since their stamina and power had fade over the years .
I wish there will be no accident or bad that happens to them trying to knockout each other to win the game.

Both fighters are explosive and their fighting skills are almost the same but Amir Kha has the power punch that could knock out De La Hoya in this match. High chances that Amir Khan could win in first few rounds but if it will reaches to 7-12 rounds then it will be in favor to De La Hoya. The strategy here for De La Hoya to win is through later rounds of boxing by conserving punches or energy for the later rounds.

Yes, this is just sports and it should not result to any injuries or something and that is the job of tge referee to make sure every players will be alright after the game. In the end all we wanted from both boxers is entertainment pretty sure this game is explosive especially Amir Khan.

He cannot punch as strong like when he is still young, all this years he never realized that boxers body is hard to keep what the minds wants, he maybe like to fight boxers in this generation, but unfortunately he cannot keep up anymore and he will just hurt his body and his ego as well if he pushes.

Oscar De la Hoya - old and retired
Amir Khan - wash up fighter

So who you gonna choose between the two?

Well, that was look likes ^{[age does not matter]} perfect match. Perhaps only his mind says he is strong fighter but the fact, Amir Khan is young and very aggressive to the career. But does not matter, as long as De la Hoya can able to give punches Amir perhaps needs also to be prepared. Let see what will happen to this fight. It looks like very interesting fight, perhaps, De la Hoya here is an underdog of this match.

Are you kidding me? How can you say that this is a perfect match? Dela Hoya can't punch or he way past his prime day and we have seen that in the Manny Pacquiao fight. Nothing is interesting here, Oscar need to remain retired and fully focus as boxing promoter. As for Amir Khan, again, he is wash up already and just chasing money fights before he retires.

Oscar can't punch against Manny Pacquiao but he can definitely give a good fight to Amir Khan, I'll bet on that, if there's a line available now, I might take them already in favor of De La Hoya. I'm being serious here as I believe De La Hoya is worth risking your money as he never quit, except on Manny.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, if he wants to fight an exhibition match, he should have chosen some retired boxers that have the same popularity that he has. Anyway, this is not official yet they can still think about it now. Amir Khan is an active boxer and Oscar has not been in his shape since he lost to Manny. I think he needs to fight someone who is not active to make this fight pair. I miss those days when he fought Mayorga.

Well yeah this is must be an exciting fight to see a match between the young once and the once young but a veteran fighter. We could still see De La Hoya dance in the ring for who knows the strength and his power is still there. In other physical sports like wrestling.old guys still playing there like.in the times of hulk hugan and the undertaker. But wrestling is not an official fight unless they say it so because they just wanted a pure entertainment.

A suicide match for me. Amir Khan is still on his shape and currently active as a boxer.

14 years age gap is not an issue if he's still on his boxing active career.

The Golden Boy is really interested to make a comeback lol. ""The rumours are true, and I'm going to start sparring in the next few weeks."

Two months or three months of preparation will not help him with 12 years of long lay off and an aged knee it will not help him with his fight if Amir Khan battle a young DeLa Hoya he will be knock out but at 47 I don;t hink he can still do it, he admit in one interviews that in his last fight the mind wants but the body is slow to respond I don't think it will now.

that was last fight but its possible that he change now , he trains regularly after that bad experience happen to him because of long rest and lack of training and now he is expecting a fight with younger oponnent , he will train more harder this time . two to three months is a lot .

the match here reminds me of the matches before because theres also a difference on age but they prove that age doesnt hinders them .

If ever this match will happen, these are the current boxing records of these two boxers.
Their age is really far, 47 years for Oscar De La Hoya while 33 for Amir Khan.

Last match of Oscar De La Hoya was last 2008 and it was a lost, while Amir Khan was last year only.
So this is kinda far different, De La Hoya is less active in term of professional boxing fights.
Only the wins and KOs for Oscar De La Hoya is the advantage for me on here.

I believe the reason Oscar De La Hoya is going back to the ring is because of money issues, as Dana White said "Cocaine isn't cheap".
Especially against Amir Khan, who has a very large age difference, it is like a father against his son. This fights different generation's
very interesting to see. Of course I will bet on Amir Khan's victory, which is very clearly superior in terms of stamina and speed.

More on money matters, as in his age against to a much younger and active boxer his chance is slim.
But the fight will still show good entertainment knowing De La Hoya when he's inside the rign, he will keep trying to accomplish
and he's going to try if there's possibility for him to win.

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.

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.

We absolutely can't know what's on their mind but I somehow believe the statement which Deontay Wilder said about Tyson before his previous fight with Fury was what unleashed the comeback of these old fighters.

I believe the reason Oscar De La Hoya is going back to the ring is because of money issues, as Dana White said "Cocaine isn't cheap".

Money might not be the only motivation, Oscar De La Hoya is a boxing promoter as well and he will be making money doing that, the rivalry between Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya is well known and he was commenting regarding that and more over the pandemic has changed many minds and now everyone wanted to explore more.

We dont know on whats up to their minds on why they have decided to make a comeback considering that they have already hang up their gloves or retire.Dont know if they are just trying to go along with the hype or
it did really poke out their interest on having a come back in spite of their age.I dont see for it to be that effective anymore unless if they would go back in time and do fight when they are still on their prime but now
their body gets older then i dont see for it to fit out to be beaten up inside the ring.About on Oscar and Amir Khan fight then i would bet for Amir here, if we do consider up the age then we can say
on which one do have edge but we dont know if Dela hoya do still make up some training actively after he retired.
