Question

Should Dela Hoya just retire? Why or who should he fight on Dec 6?

Answer 1

Yea, he should retire, he lost to Mayweather, and he just bearely beat Steve Forbes. IF he ISN't Going to retire, he's going to suffer brain damage.

Answer 2

for money.

Answer 3

Oscar in my opinion has gotten better with age. More ruthless and hitting harder than ever before. But I do think he only has, at the very least, 2 or 3 more good fights left in him. Like all fighters will tell you, the fighting is the easy part, it's the hard constant training that takes it's toll!

Answer 4

No, he should not retire. He is still very capable of fighting at a high level, but the end of the year is a good timetable. He should fight Winky Wright first at 154. Then, on December 6 he should fight Margarito at 147 or a catch weight. The fight should be at Dodger Stadium or in Mexico, since both have huge fan bases in both places.

(Heck, I could go for another Mosley fight.)

Answer 5

He should soon, but why not fight once more?  According to the numbers, people obviously wanna still watch his fights.  I think a lot of people are upset he didn't beat PBF, but he still has a chance to beat a lot of fighters.

Answer 6

Cotto. Cotto needs a vindication fight and oscar needs a credible fighter. plus beating oscar(who has a similar build like margaritto) will propell the need for a rematch even faster. you can still do the mexico-rico battle a little bit. and Cotto's loss actaully makes the fight less one-sided. fighting manny is pointless because he is so little and fighting margarito is pointless because it doesn't sell well with oscar slipping and tony rising in their careers.

Answer 7

Yes, he should retire. He's already become a trialhorse for the division's elite. He's proven he can no longer compete at the top level, though he always looks fantastic against B-level guys like Mayorga and Forbes, which, I guess, makes the idiotic public think he's still got a shot at beating somebody of worth. His last win over a top-level opponent was in 2002 against Vargas, who IMO was already damaged goods after his fight with Trinidad. That's six years without a victory against a world-class fighter. Time to pack it in.

Answer 8

If it makes dollars, It makes sense!

Answer 9

Its about money, as long as the money keeps rolling in, he is not going to retire
