He hasn't discussed who. He doesn't want to discuss any opponents right now. But when I said, 'What about the Mayweather rematch,' he said, 'No.' Oscar is not going to fight Mayweather again. "
I hope he is willing to give younger fighters a chance to shine. If not,he should retire. I'm glad to see he's not fighting Floyd again.
I am so relieved to hear this. Oscar has nothing to prove in a rematch, he fought a competitive fight but age has caught up to him and mayweather is in his prime. Oscar still has enough left in him to beat lot of good fighters like hatton, cotto, margarito but a rematch with floyd will be utter humiliation.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
