De La Hoya vs. Mayweather

[GBORN]

This is the fight that the boxing world hopes will bring boxing back to the public eye.  I'm going with the Golden Boy...De La Hoya in 8 rounds.

De La Hoya...have you watched much of the HBO hype?

[GBORN]

No, unfortunately I don't get HBO.  However, I've heard there's been a lot of smack talked by both fighters.

I like De La Hoya, but I think he is past his prime, and Mayweather has a chip on his shoulder that he is going to take out on Oscar

Past his prime...perhaps, but for his $25 million purse, He'd probably come to the ring with a cane.  Mayweather's take is a reported $10 million (Sports Illustrated, May 7, 2007)

In anycase, I'm looking forward to it.  A guy I teach with is getting the pay-per-view.

[YOSP]

I'd fight DeLaHoya for $10,000, he isn't the the same Oscar of yrs back, he still is a tough dude, but Mayweather is going to back up his sh** talking...

u can't beat the payday...

[BALDANDRE]

I'd put my money on De la Hoya...

Latin Pride is a very strong thing and guys that talk too big a game are a dime a dozen out there...Mayweather is one of those dudes to me..so i'll make my judgements on that.

but i'm no expert, and it's all just armchair opinions anyways!

I've always went with Del La Hoya when it comes to the ring, that kid is classy.
