The same man that trashed Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor calling it a circus that could literally ruin the sport of boxing just said that he knows that he can take out Conor McGregor in two rounds via an interview on Golden Boy Radio. He also went on to say that, he ‘d come back for that fight, calling Conor McGregor out by saying “Two rounds, that is all I need. That is all I am going to say.”
De La Hoya vs McGregor would be interesting! As far as the build-up, because both are from different countries, with Oscar De La Hoya being from Mexico, and Conor McGregor being from Ireland, and both would draw fans not only from the United States, but from their countries as well, plus both are from different sports, and would draw fans from their perspective sports. However, as much as I would love to see it, I mean come on! The man wrote an open letter to fans trying to derail their interest in the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor fight, with a claim of protecting the sport of boxing.
If Oscar De La Hoya viewed Mayweather vs McGregor a circus then what would De La Hoya vs McGregor be considered? It seems to me that Oscar De La Hoya is still bitter about losing to Floyd Mayweather back in 2007, and just trying to out due him in numbers by facing Conor McGregor. If De La Hoya vs McGregor does happen, who would you root for?

Would be nice to see this,,,,,,.
I just reported you for copying my text. Why waste your time?
Would be nice to see this. I would go for Conor, only because he is the underdog, and a win benefits his career more than Oscar’s.
I would root for Oscar De La Hoya since he is a better boxer than McGregor is. This could be a real life version of either “Rocky Balboa” or “Grudge Match”.
Manny just called out Conor as well. Not sure what is the deal with this; it’s getting old
I know you mean. These boxers ought to know that they are putting their health on the line by entering the boxing ring once too many times.
One fighter that I admire is Andre Ward because he made it to the top, and then retired. His dream was to win a championship, which is what he did. And once he did that he retired because of the rigors of the sport in general. Many believe that Conor will be finished, since he made that large payday from the Floyd fight, but until then we will see. I don’t blame him if he does. Anyway, thank you for commenting.
No problem since most boxers fight because that is all they know or they need a paycheck or a challenge to keep on their toes like the story of Sylvester Stallone desire to box after his wife died in “Rocky Balboa”.
There is a guy in the heavyweight division named Deonte Wilder that relates to this. He is actually dominanting the division too
I have not heard of Deonte Walker that much since I do not watch the alphabet soup sports channels that much these days since they only televise the four major sports in America which are baseball, football, ice hockey and basketball.
Pretty much alphabet soup. The channel i have seems to play fights of fighters that are up and coming, so i rarely watch because i never know any of the.
I see what you mean since boxers who are not that famous are just regular people compared to the elite boxers.
