The retiring on a win excuse being used by Ali against Berbick, hopefully de la Hoya is not so silly. In a honest fight, there is no such thing as a definite win, even for Oscar against Lil Chavez.....

It is rightly his choice, and I suspect he probably still has enough to compete at a fair level even in his mid 30s, but I personally would like to see de la Hoya go in other directions in the sport and carry on with his promoting, where he can make the Dollars without necessarily taking the punches.
