OSCAR FIGHTING IN 2007

Oscar fighting in 2007!
By Karl Freitag

Six division world champion and current WBC super welterweight king Oscar De La Hoya has made a decision. "Oscar will be fighting next year," Golden Boy Promotions matchmaker Eric Gomez told Fightnews.com. "He's zeroed in on two opponents. One possible opponent is Felix Trinidad, who has been training apparently. He's down in weight and apparently he wants an opportunity to fight Oscar again, or give Oscar the opportuinity for revenge. Then you have Floyd Mayweather, who Oscar wants to fight because he's considered the number one pound-for-pound fighter. But obviously with Floyd Mayweather we're going to have to wait until after November. But Oscar has zeroed in on those two and he has assured us he will be fighting come May 2007.

And that's going to be it?
"And that's it. He said 'that'll be it.'"

How about Bernard Hopkins? Is he going to stay retired?
"I don't know. He still goes to the gym believe it or not. He's still working out and stays in shape. I really don't know. I respect the fact that he's retired. I believe that he was sincere when he said it, but whether he's going to come back or not, I don't know."

Whooo Hooo! Should be very interesting! For me, I'd like Oscar to take on Tito first and if he wins then really the Mayweather fight should be more and more interesting. Tito, even if he had the long lay off still is very competitive. And of course, to have one of the most sought rematch in Boxing History.

I think he will fight Floyd but the Tito fight would make more $$$ and he probably burns inside thinking of how he lost last time! I think he would stand his ground more,try to win the rounds more decisively and this would not only pay into Trinidad's hands but would also make it an exciting fight!

I still wouldn't rule out tito though, I know you don't either too Game! You can never count out a man with such a lethal left hook!

LOL,bro,Oscar standing toe to toe would make it exciting for us but it would also lead to his downfall! If he stands still too long,Tito would KTFO Oscar!
