tito called oscar 'chicken delahoya' at the jones press conference. why?whats that all about?theres no rematch projected,theyre on decent terms;why bother? he got the decision first time anyway,so why have a dig at a guy who's not on even your radar?:huh
Trying to pump up a fight i bet. Tito came and visited Hoya in training camp before the Mayweather fight and gave him full support so i dont really think that there is bad blood between them at all.
The insult, "Chicken DeLaHoya" was coined, I believe, by legendary boxing writer Mike Katz early in Oscar's career, based on his supposed "avoiding" of tough fights against top fighters in their prime. Tito seems to be recyling old material here. :yep
hows it hanging jack? just seemed strange someone randomly insulting oscar, out of the blue, for no apparent, connected reason. who would normally do that?
Who says Oscar is not on Tito's radar? I don't take that for granted since I've seen Bob Arum and Oscar at court and then shaking hands... Same thing can happen with Don and Oscar, a DKP-GBP joint promo for Tito-De La Hoya II if Hoya and Tito don't get crashed by some "truck" in the meantime. But probably Tito was just underlining what he always had, Oscar didn't and Roy may not have, the will to come forward when the going gets tough.

Actually in the buildup to TITO-DLH 1 .... Tito had a picture of a chicken taped to his double end bag and laughed & smiled for the cameras while he threw combos at it
