After the Pacquiao fight ODLH walked over to Freddie Roach and said and I quote:
"I just don't have it any more."
I say he'll announce he's retiring from boxing.

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

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
I'm guessing Hoya will announce his retirement as a boxer... and PAC gets credit of placing Hoya to retirement...Tho Hoya still remain as one of PAC's idols...

Oscar's nutritionist should retire... no elite athlete will want to work with him now.
Pac is so mighty he ended two careers in one night and one of the guys he didn't even touch!!

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
Oscar sees Hopkins and Sugar Shane, two of his buddies and legends still going on way past their prime, he will not retire ans will want to follow their trails a bit more, especially as he likes money a lot. I say he,ll make 2-3 more fights or something like that, he'll start with one he can definitely win and will drag attention (JCC for obvious reasons) then 2 scenarios: he goes for another one to keep being in shape and then go for a last big one or he'll try the big one immediately. Personally, I really do not believe he will retire now with the examples around him and with a few more possible go to money. Though I am no more a fan of Oscar, I do not think he's done, he deserved a razor thin draw against FLoyd and he was 15 pounds below what he should have been against Floyd. He's not the one he used to be, maybe, but he definitely has enough legs and pep to make a few good fights.

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
Hoya should announce his retirement now, he has to grab this perfect moment... He has the ideal reasons to retire now... He's just been annihilated, trashed, embarrassed, destroyed, humiliated, obliterated and totally wiped out by a midget in his very last fight... He don't have it anymore in the highest level, he can't pull the trigger anymore...
Hoya will do good in boxing promotion...

Take the fight with JCC jr. and give him a chance to avenge his father.

I think he will announce his retirement tomorrow. But, I think he will fight again in a year or so.

Re: What do you think Oscar de la hoya do?
I believe Oscar should retire and stop stealing from the fans. As a boxer, it has been a long time since Oscar has put on a great, jaw dropping, hall of fame performance, yet he still puts on these pay per view goldmines and makes money while the fans get robbed. This has gone on far too long and he should focus on getting his boys (Mosley and Hopkins) more fights, since they clearly are more interesting and exciting in the ring than Oscar is.

it's official, DLH is retired
Oscar De La Hoya announces retirement from boxing - ESPN
gonna miss seeing him fight, but understand fully that if he continued it would not be the same DLH that was a great. Good luck to him as a promoter and hope he does keep up the good work, honestly might be one of the few people that gets inducted into the hall of fame for 2 categories

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
I'm not a fan of his, but there's no denying he created mainstream interest like no other fighter since Tyson, and in a much healthier way.
Watching Pac tee off on without response him was a sad sight and it's unfortunate that was his last moment in the ring.
He did great things for the sport of boxing and deserves to be remembered as a great fighter who always sought to take on the best.

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
Well,that was a fun ride.Good move on his part.Always nice to see them from round 1 to the hard end.I was not a fan but came to respect his ablities inside and outside of the ring.Has nothing but mega promotional status ahead and please do not turn Ring Magazine into GQ light.He'll always be 'The Colgate Kid' to me

What would have this guy done to Mayweather Jr. if they met when he could still "pull the trigger"? (Freddie Roach)

Re: it's official, DLH is retired
the same thing everyone else who could pull the trigger . Loose. As far as oscar now that he's retired i hope people will give him credit for what he has done instead of what he didn't do or do the way fans would like. Kick back and spend that money oscar. No use making it till you're too old and punch drunk to enjoy it.
