Oscar: I'll be faster and stronger!
Oscar De La Hoya said today in San Juan "....I promise I'll be in my best condition ever....I'll weigh a max of 155 to 156 pounds...I'll be fast and I'll use my all of hand speed to beat Hopkins on Sept. 18." De La Hoya, in San Juan to receive the WBO middleweight title belt, was very upbeat throughout the press conference. Bernard Hopkins was also there, adding "congratulations Oscar. You won the WBO belt. "You can enjoy carrying it around for 90 days, then you'll be turning it over to me. I want all four title belts when I walk out of the ring on Sept. 18." After the press conference, De La Hoya took a flight to Los Angeles. Hopkins will stay in San Juan on Friday night and be at ringside for the Top Rank/Telefutura fight card which features Henry Bruseles vs. Lino Perez in San Juan. Billed as 'Quest for History,' De La Hoya vs. Hopkins for the World Middleweight Championship, is scheduled Sept. 18 (HBO Pay-Per-View) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Well this time your gonna have to show me Oscar! Its easy to say but you have a real fight on your hands this time bud! ! !

I AGREE

It is up to him.
From what I have read about his feelings, he hates training.
I don't blame him, it's fuckking hard,
Then lets just stop; shall we\

And no dick up our record.

For Christ's sakes you beat Vargas, STOP now please if you will.
I promise you beat Mosley last fight.
Get the fuck over it you stupid Oscar you.

All the moves in the world won't mean Jack when Oscar meats the B-Hop stunner, if oscar wanted to survive the middleweight warzone, stay away from Hop, ATTBLCSCSS!

I have no doubt in my mind that Oscar CAN get in top shape for Hopkins and beat him, that he will do it is another story............ BUT I'M PRAYING THAT HE'S NOT JUST TALKIN SHIT!!!!!

says him... hheheheh but i still believe if theres a boxer that can beat hppkins its the golden boy

I agree. I think the only guy that can beat Hopkins is De La Hoya. No I'm not ashamed to say it but I think DLH will pull off an upset and Hopkins streak will end. Then everyone will DLH.

DLH says he will weigh in at around 155, that he will give up the weight in prefrence to being mobile . But i still think he will lose by ko probably around round 8. DLH is tough but Hopkins will be entirly to strong and he will adapt to DLH speed, i think Hopkins is going to stay close to DLH take his body out and then ko him.

I'm right there with you.
I do think that the Oscar who answered the bell at the Vargas fight will beat up the big mouthed, mask wearing B-Hop.
I don't really think that 6 pounds, or whatever it is, is going to make a difference.
Oscar doesn't need this in his life anymore IMO.
He is doing it cuz he wants to.

B-Hop, the dick that he is, needs this because his pride didn't take 60% 40% with RJjr & get his asswhippin.
He woulda been set up then, financially.$$$
Now he won't get the chance.
Cuz he is a dick.

i hate to say this mram but i dont agree with you man.....

if hopkins is going to win it will be a decision.. its hard to stop the golden boy.. i dont think oscar will make the same mistake like tito did against b-hop... dlh by unanimous decision

like to think ODH is really in this, but if it aint his AAA game he brings...... I just keep thinking bout the Tito V Hopkins fight. I reckon ODH won his fight with Tito...but Felix just looked so small in there with 'I will execute my own career Hopkins'. I know styles make fights but damm i dont want to see Oscar go out in a bad way.

I still think Tito has a better chance of beating Hopkins right now than Oscar does at middleweight! But want to see Tito fight the winner of Bernard vs Oscar! If Tito does end up having to fight Hopkins again Id still like to see him fight Oscar somewhere down the line again after that! ! !

Agreeing with the R_R.

I think those fights almost just have to take place now don't they Brad! ! !

I'm a waitin' & I'm a wantin'.
