De La Hoya Coming out of retirement!

Popular in Highbury ONLY :deal

 

Bitter little man syndrome?

 

To be fair Henry is a ****. He demonstrated it tonight.

De La Hoya is definitely noway near the fighter he was. Watching him against Trinidad and comparing that version to the current is like night and day. He was a lot faster, much sharper, and more fluid combination punching whereas now he's slow, predictable and everything seems mechanical/forced.

Not that I think the version that fought Pacquiao is much different to the one that fought Mayweather. Weight was a bull**** excuse IMO, it was more the fact Pacquiao was way too fast an aggressive which showed DLH up whereas Floyd sat back and let him throw.

 

He will fight Hatton next spring in Manchester.

Nothing to back this up just a hunch.

 

Was thinking that myself... Hatton nuthugs DLH and if the fight was on offer instead of JMM he'd take it. I think sky should bill it as 'The Rejects'

 

Apart from the oriental one, who looks like a boy :think

 

After last night Thierry "Hoops" Henry has gone way up in my estimation :hey

 

:-( Revisionism is alive, well and living on the British forum...DLH was a corpse on the scales, you and everyone else saw it :deal

 

Imagine Haye v Klitschko & Hatton v DLH on the same Wembley bill. That'd be great.

Even Haye v Ruiz on that bill would be good.

I like Oscar alot, thinks he gets alot of unecessary criticism.

And I thought he should have been 1-1 with Moseley.

 

Thats merging 2PPVs into one, don't see that happening.

 

Betty gets alot of stick, but he is right on this. A seperation of comercial success to critical success is always needed.

 

I dunno, M. Ali was popular, Sugar Ray Leonard was popular.......he just takes an extreame stance against fighters that arent as good as the pr/media/backers say they are. Its simple....somtimes you have to be extreme to notify attention to situations.
