"The Golden Boy" Oscar Delahoya Vs Floyed
Mayweather "The Pretty Boy" is expected to be one of the
best battles set for 2007 the world's most popular
boxer, De La Hoya (38-4, 30 KOs), will meet the fighter
most consider to be the best pound-for-pound pugilist in
the game, Mayweather (37-0, 24 KOs). |

Mayweather is coming off a November 4
unanimous decision over Carlos Baldomir in which he won the
WBC welterweight crown. De La Hoya was last seen taking the
WBC light middleweight title with a sixth round TKO over
Ricardo Mayorga in May of 2006.
Both men started their boxing carriers as
super Feather weight, at the present time Oscar is a much
bigger man now. when the bell rings in may Oscar will
probably have a seven or eight pound advantage on his side.
As for Floyed he barely made 149 pounds his last fight, when
he fought Carlos Baldomir, it will be something to watch him
to 154 pounds to fight The Golden Boy. Oscar De la hoya
naturally walks around at a much heavier weight and will
probably enter the ring at 157 pounds. Something may be said
about the phrase "Big men - Beat up on little men" when
Oscar squares off in the ring with Floyed mayweather. It is
true Floyed is at his peak of his boxing carrier, a faster
puncher and has less wear and tear on his body. De La Hoya
has been fighting for a longer period of time than
Mayweather and De La Hoya Peak has past him sometime ago,
But Oscar De La Hoya is a great fighter and the current
waterweight king never seems to let anyone down.
