De La Hoya to face Forbes in May, with Mayweather in wings
- Thread starter caff
- Start date
And? The kid has no amateur experience and the fights he's had leading up to right now have basically been amateur fights. The fact that he's under the spotlight because he's JCC Jr. isn't his fault.
He's not the greatest and I don't think he'll ever make the sort of impact that his dad made but he's still shown some decent skills for the level that he's at. His last fight he rolled he went down from rolling his ankle and still had enough in him to get the stoppage.

Mayweather hasn't signed the contract yet, it was my understanding that Oscar had to win his fight with Forbes before it's a done deal.
Next fight is Mayweather then after that, I really don't know. Oscar said he wants one tune up and two super fights, after Mayweather he said he wants to fight Cotto. Not sure who else he's willing to fight
Funny you mention that, Bernard Hopkins said in recent interview that him, Shane Mosley and Oscar de la hoya are planning on fighting on the SAME CARD, it would be a final fight for all three Golden Boy fighters. Now that would be dope. I have no idea if it's true or not, but could you imagine:
Bernard Hopkins vs Roy Jones II
Shane Mosley vs Margarito
Oscar de la hoya vs Miguel Cotto
I'd pay big bucks for that and I'm sure it would be a huge success. We'll see if that's true or if bhop is just talkin. I'm sure it would be a bitch trying to split up all the profits with huge ego's like that.

I think the only way its possible is because all three are business partners. I think the harder part would be signing the opponents. Like Roy Jones I'm sure would easily turn it down for example because he's all about himself headlining. Maybe bhop could get another crack at Jermain Taylor or something. Cotto I can see doing it, it's great exposure for him, same with Margarito.
