    This interview took place yesterday.......

    Quoted by Robert Morales in PressTelegram.com, in regards to retirement, De La Hoya stated:*"September will be the fight that will be billed as the retirement fight."

    The report by PressTelegram states that De La Hoya said he will wait until December to make the May fight. He tells the publication that his fight could be against Ricky Hatton, but Hatton would first have to defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr when the two face off against one another on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.

    De La Hoya did not rule out a rematch with Mayweather Jr, saying that fight could happen, but only if Mayweather agreed to fight in a smaller ring. A ring as small as 16 by 16 instead of 20 by 20.

    "Mayweather is a very slippery fighter, he's a tricky fighter," De La Hoya added:
    "So, obviously, we would want a smaller ring and it would be more of an interesting fight. So that's one thing we have to look at, and that's the only obstacle that's in the way of making a rematch."



    Oscar not only looking to fight the smallest guys next time he wants to fight in a 16' x 16' ring. A fuking phone booth. Smallest guys, small ring, Reyes gloves, ridiculous weght stipulations, etc. He takes every advantage possible.
    But you know what? It doesn't matter. He loses anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:
    Thank God we only have to suffer with this egotistical demanding ***** one more year ........ hopefully!!

    With some of the scorecards in recent Golden Snaggle Tooth events, I hope no funny business goes on with the judges on Mayweather-Hatton.

    Same thing Merchant has been asking for in Boxing for a while.

    Smaller rings smaller gloves.

    Hopefully this eliminates the "safety first" fighters.

    PBF is fighting Hatton, and most really dont care to see a rematch with DLH. The winner of PBF vs Hatton should fight the SSM vs Cotto winner and that's pretty damn OBVIOUS!! A remacth is ridiculous and there's better fights to be made at 47. Oscar should rematch Trinidad and sail off into the promotional sunset:good

    De La Hoya gets all this fights that he dosent deserve, alot of great fighters out there are better and worked harder than him and should get this fights, instead he fights who ever he wants just because of money he brings (i understand that aswell) but i just dont think is fair.

    Everyone would have to agree that a DLH / PBF fight in a 16X16 ring would be more interesting. Any chance Oscar just wants to give the fans what they pay for?

    No offense to the ultimate practtioners of the sweet science, but if boxing wants to increase it's fanbase these stipulations are a must.

    In my opinion, this would not really affect someone like Floyd who is very adept in the pocket. I've never seen Floyd "run" I've seen him shy away from exchanges, slip in slip out, etc...but shamelessly get on his bicycle? I have yet to see that.

    when the powers that be get their heads outta their culos. . . there will only be 16 by 16 rings, smaller gloves and close rounds scored for the guy "making the fight".

    scoring rounds like that would definitely improve the image of the sport and make fights more exciting, we'd definitely see more fighting and less running and definitely more KOs. its a shame that some of today's fighers decide they'll win points before they even enter the ring.
