Why would De la Hoya have thrown the Hopkins fight?
490926
He was going to make more money off of Hopkins in later fights because he became a more popular fighter after that fight and he has a contract with Golden Boy Promootions.  That fight made him popular enough to appear on the cover of Fight Night Round 3.

Quit being stupid. Rush would talk Tyson into a stupor that he would never come out of and the fight would be over.

Pancho - I gotta think about that one. I will add more details later. A damn good question........ I'm leaving the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight off the list, got enough buzz going already. My card consists of one fight that may be already made. Here they are:\n1) Mosley/MayweatherJr.\n2) Castillo/ Hatton (I believe this is scheduled for spring '07)\n3) Calzaghe/Taylor\n4) Wright/Abraham\n5) Pacquiao/Marquez II\nMaybe not the ultimate fight card but matches I'd like to see. I want to see some of those Euros fight here against top rank competition.

It's a little more interesting, but I think the fight would play out very similar to the first two. Hopkins dominating Tarver doesn't in any way mean that he would dominate Taylor if they were to meat again. After all, Taylor is a much more agressive fighter who won't lay off. Hopkins has already solidified his place in the boxing hall of fame. I personally think it's great for him to step down and leave an open space for some of the up-and-coming fighters out there.

1, Foreman would win by KO in the early rounds, in his prime the most devastating puncher i have ever seen, remember what he did to Frazier.\n\n2, Would be a very close fight i think it would be a great fight but i would just favour Dempsey maybe on points.\n\n3, Controversial here but i would take Hagler to win this by TKO in the 7th or 8th, if Robinson could avoid him as well as Leonard did then it could be a points win the other way though.\n\n4, This one is a really tough one to call, i haven't seen much tape of Armstrong but from what i have read about him he is up there as one of the greatest of all time, De La Hoya is a Hall of famer without doubt but whether he is in the same league as Armstrong is hard to work out. I am going to say Armstrong to win a split decision.

Ricardo Mayorga may have guts, but he's never been in against a boxer as skilled as Oscar De la Hoya. DLH will find openings even when Mayorga isn't offering them and hit him with a variety of punches. This and Oscar's reach advantage will keep Mayorga from getting in much good offense. The only factor I see working against DLH is his recent inactivity since his KO loss to Bernard Hopkins, but he knows how to get ready for a match so I doubt it would be too much of a problem for him.\n\nOscar De la Hoya - unanimous decision or possibly late KO.

Oscar De La Hoya...here's why.\n\nOscar De La Hoya's trainer is Floyd Mayweather Sr.\n\nFloyd Sr. has said in the past, that he will be scared to death, if he fights with Oscar.\n\nThus making this fight will be a tremendous fight with Floyd Sr. going crazy.

Right now we are in a Boxing Renaissance. So many good fighters, and only so many weekends to fight. \n\nAs for judging which fight you want to watch, Tarver is the only house hold name in the light heavy weight division. And if Hopkins wins, he still won't be around for the long haul. It will be an entertaining fight, but it will not shed much light in the division. The only question that people are asking about Tarver is will he move to the heavyweight division. I don't think that he will be answering that question by fighting someone moving up from the middle weight division. And if Hopkins wins, how many fights will he stay around for after that. \n\nThe other PPV you have the young up and coming fighters fighing in highly competive divisions. \n\nSo the choice comes down to what you want to see,  the past or the future.

Saturday's fight? De la Hoya TKO in the 6th. Lousy fight.

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.

He does trash talk a lot before a fight but it is just hype like him smoking a cigarette or drinking a beer at weigh in. It is this type of stuff that builds fights, Oscar De Lay Hoya even said he picked the fight with Mayorga because his antics would motivate him to train harder. If you watch after Mayorga's fights though he is always humble and apologetic and tell's his opponents that it wasn't personal. There is an understanding in boxing nowadays before a fight it is nothing personal. Even good friends Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah were slamming each other hard before they fought. I like Mayorga his fighting still is thrilling to watch but at times he may cross the line. Not speaking his language I don't know if he is trying to be funny or cruel or just build hype but his eating pizza at weigh in and smoking after a fight suggests its part of the show.

I really don't think anyone could have taken Tyson is his prime.  He was far to overwhelming.  Roy Jones, Jr.?  I saw him fight guys that everyone said he shouldn't beat and he made them look silly; evading punches and throwing them from odd angles.  Tua needs to do more to even be int his conversation.

Very very good fight.  Hopkins destroyed him, and also knocked him down in the fifth.  Hopkins definately brought the fight to Tarver, had he fought this way against Taylor, this is no doubt that he would have won.  Both were in very good shape, and Hopkins still very cut after gaining 15 pounds.  No, I doubt hopkins will have a rematch though, he won the fight VERY easily, toying with Tarver at times.  So I think he'll stay retired, after the fight he told everyone good bye and everything.  He also told Merchant that he had no hard feelings for Taylor, and he hopes he wins next week.  Very professional.
