The fight occurs on HBO Pay-Per-View on May 6th.\nThe press conference was vicious Mayorga basically insulted De La Hoya, and you could see he was annoyed, but he maintained "some" composure.

It should have been a draw. The knockdown in the first round proved to be costly for Collazo. Needless to say, Hatton is still undefeated, but would absolutely get killed by Mayweather, De La Hoya or Cotto. He does put on a good show though.

I'm amazed that De La Hoya made it past Mayorga.  I was stunned.  But regardless...\n\nThere's no way in HELL that De La Hoya could beat Mayweather.  He's smart to dodge the fight.\n\nBut to answer your question, YES, Oscar is definitely dodging a fight that he can't win.

Isn't it funny how this fight has been hashed over on Y! answers as of late... yeah, Taylor was smart in trying to outbox JCC. Had Taylor attempted to slug it out with Chavez, the day would have been easier on Richard Steele... count to ten, raise Julio's hand, change clothes, pick up paycheck, done deal. \nIt was an unbelievable fight wasn't it!!!

Mayweather? yeah, 118-108, with Mayweather landing 43%, and Boldomir hitting just 12% of his punches. HBO will replay the fight next Saturday night (10 ET)

Caleb took a mean knee to the ribs, but I have seen worse. He should have fought to the death. It looked to me that Caleb started getting tired while Kendall got his second wind. I feel Shamrock's lax training is hurting the team. I don't care for tito, but hard work produces hard results. Plus Kendall is my home boy from Hawaii. He did start to land good punches late, and had him (Caleb) backing up.

Yes, he should retire. De la Hoya has so many other things to do and is very busy with his promoting career.\n\nMayorga was built up a bit for his fight with Oscar. Sure, Mayorga may be a good fighter who has beaten other good fighters, but he was still nowhere near the skill level of De la Hoya. \n\nThe thing is, Oscar De la Hoya likes taking the biggest fights available. He fights the biggest name fighters and takes home the biggest paychecks. I don't think, to him, a final fight with Mayorga would be worthy of his legacy. He really does need the Mayweather fight to close out his career. I mean, if he's able to beat who is currently considered to be the pound-for-pound champion, well, that's just what he needs to do to secure his legacy. I think he can do it, too.  ;D

IN MY OPINION, COTTO DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY DANGER TO A GOOD BOXER, THATS WHY HE ONLY FIGHTS GUYS WHO HE THINKS HE COULD BEAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM AGAINST CASTILLO OR HATTON JUST TO MENTION A FEW.\nCOTTO STANDS NO CHANCE AGAINST THIS GREAT BOXERS, PLUS SINCE HE'S NOT A GREAT FIGHTER HE WOULD NEVER GENERATE THE MONEY CASTILLO, HATTON, MAYWEATHER OR MUCH LESS DE LA HOYA WOULD.

I'm glad you asked this question, general consensus would say Margarito...but honestly there is no one on Mayweather's level right now..De La Hoya would get embarrassed...I personally would like to see him fight Sugar Shane \n Remember he beat Baldomir with one hand which he hurt early in the fight, I noticed that before the announcers did....and he still did not lose 1 round in the fight. He didn't throw one right hand after the 6th round...y'all can hate on Mayweather but there is no one out there right now that can beat him...Period. You don't have to like him because he is an asshole, but you better respect him. UNDISPUTED..POUND FOR POUND THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD...and if you think different, then you don't know boxing....PERIOD

Morales has been into more big money fights than Pacquiao thus he's richer. Manny's getting there though with the commercials and everything. He's just getting richer and richer. He could be the next Dela Hoya.

I think Mayweather will win because of his speed although I don't like his arrogance.  I hope De La Hoya knocks him out.

eh the one guy hits most of it but not quite all of it. Hopkins does win the biggest fights of his career excluding the roy jones jr fight. Really by the time taylor hits him, his legacy is already fairly well intact, but another win would have probably cemented it further. Imo hopkins won the first fight anyway. \n\nTo get to the question though, hopkins does not get the recognition that he deserves because he is not a very likeable guy all the time. Outside the ring he is often distant, difficult to work with, and has a checkered past at best. Inside the ring he is very methodical and does not fight incredibly exciting fights to the casual viewer. In order to enjoy a Hopkins fight you need to know what you are getting in for. It will not be a slugfest like a manny paciquao is going to bring. For many Hopkins incredibly control of the pace of a fight is not fun to watch. If a fighter is not fun to watch fans arent going to give him the credit he deserves. However Hopkins is an all time great at 160 pounds for the duration and dominance he held over the division no matter what the common public says. He might not be in the top 3, but id imagine he pushes the top 5. \n\nFor the last part of your question as to why Oscar has a shot against Floyd Mayweather Jr. PBF is moving up in weight and oscar is looking good after his destruction of Mayorga (who is a good fight for oscar). Going into the hopkins fight Oscar was the one moving up to fight the well established Hopkins coming off what looked like a loss to Felix Sturm. So the situations are different, but the result for Oscar probably will be the same.

Last Saturday (June 10) Miguel Cotto went the distance with Paulie Malignaggi before winning a decision.\n\nAnd on another pay-per-view Bernard Hopkins outclassed Antonio Tarver to win a decision.\n\nTaylor - Wright is this weekend, but it's on HBO, not PPV.

Erik Morales needs a rest. Marco Antonio Barrera is ready to fight now. Both are still dangerous opponents, and if they fought each other it could still go either way.\n\nIf you're referring to legacy, Barrera may be slightly greater. He's had more fights, and he was the guy who retired Naseem Hamed. Both are definitely hall-of-famers, though.\n\nWhat exactly was the question?

Oscar had friction from the first day he turned pro. He fought for the USA in the Olympics and that upset many boxing fans from Mexico (Oscar's heritage). His victory over Pernell Whitaker was controversial (I still say Sweet Pea won) so many die hard boxing fans began to criticize him. Then his total annihilation of Julio Cesar Chavez and the Media leading up to it. Oscar made it known he was gonna take Julio to school and make him look bad. This increased the Mexicans dislike for him. Finally, his choice to run the last 5rds against Trinidad because he felt he "had done enough in the first 7rds to win a unanimous decision" started a whole new crop of hatred and discontent.

I don't think so. I'll be at the Wright/Lacy fight card in my hometown of Tampa. So I'll be missing out on Cotto vs. Quintana card. I'll catch it on Sunday. I got a buddy who'll tape it and I'll see it then. I don't think they are cutting each others throat. The fights aren't on PPV, they've already collected the money from the cable subscribers.\nMakes me think of my days as a kid/young man when you could turn on ABC (Wide World of Sports) and see those same type quality fights for free. Do any of you remember (I was 13) when ABC broadcast  Hagler/Antuofermo I, Galindez/Johnson, and Leonard/Benitez all in the same day! Now that's nice! About 6 hours of top notch FREE boxing coverage. All title fights and all of then top flight/champion boxers. You'd pay $200 these days to see that type of quality on PPV all on the same night/day.\n\nAmen Pancho on your comment to me!

Eprometheus ~\n                         In my opinion, not only does Floyd fight like a coward he is a pure coward in his very nature. He fights only fights that he and his camp know that he can win, handpicking limited opposition is not a true Champions way. He gets upset when he's criticized and doesn't look at the criticism as constructive. When Larry merchant was questioning him about his style of fighting Floyd quipped "Why don't you stick to commentating and let me do the fighting." That's Larry's job, it's to give his opinion about the fight and the fighters, but Floyd doesn't like if you're not in agreement with him.\n      A coward beats women, which Floyd has done on several occasions. He beat the mother of three of his children Josie Harris, he beat two woman in Grand Rapids Michigan and two more in Las Vegas where he received a suspended sentence and ordered to take "Impulse - Control Counseling" all of this is a matter of public record.\n     A coward turns down 8 million dollars to fight a up and coming fighter (Margarito) who's hungry and can punch instead of fighting a guy (Baldomir) for two million who he knows hands down he can beat.\n    A coward is what the public sees and knows, this is why  the Mayweather vs Baldomir fight only sold 9,000 seats out of 18,000 seats at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, people that bought general admission seats were allowed to get closer to the ring to make it look like a full house.\n     Yes Eprometheus, Floyd is indeed a coward and it a good to see you noticed along with roughly 9,000 other "Fans".
