In a recent Interview conducted by Doghouse Boxing's Coyote Duran, Oscar De La Hoya had plenty to say. Amongst revealing that Tito Trinidad is in the running with Floyd Mayweather Jr. for Oscar's last fight, Oscar also had plenty to say on the Antonio Margarito and Floyd Mayweather Jr situation.

De La Hoya had advice for Margarito and did not hold back when questioning Mayweather credentials over some of the things Mayweather has said about
Margarito.

Oscar De La Hoya tells DoghouseBoxing,: "He’s (Margarito) a young fighter. He should stay active. He still has a lot to learn obviously in this game. You’re never too old to learn. He’s young, he’s strong, he’s motivated. Keep him active! Don’t wait for that one big payday. Just keep on going, keep fighting! That would be my advice to him."

De La Hoya added in regards to Mayweather: "It’s like Mayweather wanting to fight me. Just keep fighting, keep going. ‘Cause one thing that Mayweather’s saying about Margarito is “Who have you fought? Why do you deserve this?” You know, I can say the same thing about Mayweather! Who have YOU fought and why do you deserve to fight me? You’ve done what, 350,000 pay-per-view buys? 400, tops?? I’ve done a million-four with (Felix) Trinidad so why should you fight me? It’s the same thing over and over. Look, (to Mayweather) keep on fighting, stay active, stay busy and if the fights come, they come. Don’t keep pushing for them. They will happen. If the fans demand them, they will happen. If those fights are the best, those fights will happen. Fighters sometimes have to be very patient."

last time i checked, pbf was p4p#1 and had world titles in 4 different weight classes without ever losing to anybody (unlike margarito who hasnt EVER fought anybody, and just LOST to a nobody a few fights ago. but he does hold that legendary wbo belt that he obtained without ever fighting a champ)

heres the bottom line..............
oscar doesnt want his career to end on a loss, so he isnt too sold on fighting floyd
so instead, he decides hes gonna fight an inactive, waaay faded trinidad (oscar wins this VERY easy)

so in the meantime hes gonna make outrageous claims like saying that pbf wanting to fight oscar (dont forget oscar USED to want that fight ) is like margarito wanting to fight pbf.

sorry oscar, pbfs career has been established and now he is regarded as the best in the sport
margarito loses too much to nobodies

dont try to compare them just to create some weak ass diverson as to why you wont fight pbf
those who know boxing see right through your bs

all that happened was that oscar put his foot in his mouth by saying hed fight the #1 p4p fighter on the planet, and now hes reaching for excuses to get out of it
