    Will come back...?

    Ricky Hatton, JMM, Shane Mosley. All left the ring against Floyd Mayweather, accepting defeat.

    Oscar De La Hoya..!

    In his heart of hearts, still thinks he won that fight....against Floyd Mayweather.

    It was a split decision and a very very very close fight.

    Forget the Pacman fight, he was weight drainned.

    We'd probably have to forget the Forbes fight too because he looked terrible in that.

    No chance in hell he's got a great life outside the ring.

    He may have won easy, but he looked awful, very flat.

    As long as he doesn't predict that he will win he should be fine.

    When was the last time he predicted the winner?

    Doubt it, In the SkySports News interview a few weeks ago he was saying he thinks the main reason boxers unretire is because they aren't happy with what they've acheived and that he is content with his career.

    No, I think he knows the public wont buy it. Would do his rep more harm than good.

    DLH has had a great career, his resume is top notch, now the most succesful promoter in America

    Winning a world title in his 12th fight to then go on to be a 6 weight world champion

    Fighters he has fought in chronological order
    Brehdal, Paez, JJ Molina, Hernandez, JCC, Gonzalez, Sweet Pea. Camacho, Quartey, Carr, Trinidad, Mosley, Gatti, Sturm, Hopkins, Mayorga, Mayweather and Pacquiao

    He will go down as one of the best postwar Welterweights, with names like Griffith and Napoles, DLH retired before he was embarresed, Pac retired him, however he showed great heart against him, he knew his time was up and retired gracefully

    I really hope not.
    He was top notch but the way Pac demolished him tells me he knows he's had his day.
    Anyways he is minted now so doesn't need the wonga :)
