Oscar De La Hoya coming out of retirement at 47.

Or he could run like 20 year old for a few rounds and then realise a 47 year old isn't meant to move like that unless he wants to clutch his chest and keel over. I can't see that fight going well for Oscar In universe. he should just stay retired

 

The ring really is like that horrible, horrible woman that was an absolutely amazing lay. You know she's no good for you but just have to keep going back.

I wish him well. He had a really good career and has done well for himself. This little escapade is far enough removed from any fight that ever really mattered for him that I don't believe what happens will sully his reputation much to geeks like us down the road. The only thing he needs to worry about is brain damage or death so might as well get it out of his system.

 

I think he’s after attention. He bragged he’d KO McGregor in two not long ago then Conor called him out and he backed down. I hope McGregor remembers and calls his bluff.

 

It’s largely because of nonsense like this that my interest in current boxing has diminished greatly over the years. I just about threw myself out my window when I heard Tyson and Jones were meeting in the ring....SMH

 

That would be better

 

he's getting knocked out by anyone with a pulse at his age.... the 154-160's are speedy and his reflexes are going to be rough..

 

I can think of Michael Spinks off the top of my head when it comes to guys who quit and never looked back. Who are some other examples?

 

marvin hagler ?

 

vitali klitschko, lennox lewis, rocky marciano.

 

Vitali did make a comeback at 37 tho.

I think Cotto is done with boxing.

 

The way ODLH managed Wrangello has somewhat tarnished him and his career from my perspective. I really got into boxing around about the time he and Kostya Tszyu were fighting and they were two of my favorite fighters.

As a promoter I can see how being a total tool improves your chance of success. I despise Arum, King, Hearn to name a few, and as a promoter ODLH has joined that list. The guy promotes PED use and judge corruption. What's the point of boxing if the result is a foregone conclusion? It's just WWF.

if he came back to fight GGG I'd watch it, only to see him get his justice.

 

But like... nobody paged, Oscar.
