    I'm not going to criticize him for a comeback attempt, he can make his own decisions and I would like to see what he can do at this age. Unlike Hopkins who fought at a similar age though, De La Hoya seemed to let his body go and looked very flabby in his retirement. Let see what kind of speed he has now and what shape he can get into. Also, what weight is he going to fight at? He never looked good above 154 and now he may be stuck where 147lbs are too fast and 160+ too strong. Looking forward to see what he can do.
