DLH is only 35. He's part time fighter. He only fought 45 times from 1992 to 2008. He didn't go through many wars. I don't think he's that shot like most people make him. I think his nutritionist screwed him up.

Yes. He would've continued fighting if he defeated Pac.
No. Coz he's gonna focus more in promoting.

Definetly, he still looked good against Floyd and what's his name who won the contender.
I'm just worried that it could have affected him long term, and whilst 35 isn't ancient, especially at the higher weights Oscar is a smaller fighter who has spent a lot of his career fighting below what is not his natural weight.

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
He's done. Anyone who is in the top ten of their division could probably give him a good run for his money & I'd wager the top 3 or 4 guys in the divisions from 140 to 160 would batter him badly. He was done when in the Mayweather fight he was getting outdone by a guy who must have weighed in about 10-15lbs lighter than him (regardless of how good PBF is). He also looked shot against Forbes, who as much as I like him, is a former 130 champ fighting about 15lbs above his fighting weight & marking him up. Just give it up, its over.

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
What do I think Oscar WILL do? Or SHOULD do? The question is unclear.
What WILL he do? He'll probably hang around, make some more noise about wanting to cement his legacy, and get his computer to spit out another "safe" opponent, one against which he'll have better luck than against Pacquiao.
What SHOULD he do? Retire and concentrate on promoting boxing.

He needs to start using his name and fame to promote the sport into the mainstream, and start nudging the old slimebags like Arum and King off into retirement. I'd like Oscar better as a promoter and ambassador of boxing than I did when he was boxing himself.actually i'll be pretty surprised if he says he's gonna fight on come Tuesday, he's been basically leading up to it

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
Agreed. One of the good things about the ODLH-PBF & PBF-Hatton fights was that both boxers were promoted by boxers, and it was satisfying knowing that neither Arum or King were getting their dirty little hands on any of that cash.He needs to start using his name and fame to promote the sport into the mainstream, and start nudging the old slimebags like Arum and King off into retirement.
