[Boxing] Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan?

[notblox1]

Oscar De La Hoya is following Myke Tyson and he announced possible return to boxing at his 47 year.
His potential opponent is Amir Khan who called him out before to come back.

De La Hoya won 11 world titles with 39 wins and 6 loses
Amir Khan is much younger, 33 years old, with 34 wins and 5 loses.

I think it is crazy to fight at his age with 14 years younger active boxer.
Interesting was comment from UFC Dana White who said  quoting: 'Cocaine isn't cheap'

This age difference is certainly the biggest thing because somewhere it would not be justifiable, as Aamir would be fit as per his age and it is his playing age while for Hoya it is to rest but still having the fight with so much younger one. Hope the fight does not become one sided and we can see some tough match.

Your opinions?

maybe the retired boxers are now taking the stage again and gaining popularity from the fans?
Oscar Dela Hoya "The Golden Boy" is one of the fastest in His prime but Many Pacquiao brings HIm to losing and retires after.

but i have no care about this fight because none of them is part of my boxing Idols.

Let's see if he can prove himself one more time at his age. Just how many years does Oscar De La Hoya since the last professional fight of him? Well, I hope they show us a very good fight.

Interesting was comment from UFC Dana White who said  quoting: 'Cocaine isn't cheap' 

LOL. That's rude Returning on boxing just to afford buying cocaine? Are Dana White and Oscar close friends?

[Taskford]

Is there someone will gonna buy this? it's so clear that Amer khan has all the advantage since De La Hoya is old also his prime is out and I don't even think its entertaining to watch this bout. This plan is purely business and I don't know if I will enjoy watching this match if they make this thing happen.

[noorman0]

16 years of Oscar's career will not cover the satisfaction of his experience in the ring and 47 years I don't think is too old to endure pain or injury. Moreover, his last match before retiring was closed with a defeat against Manny Pacquiao. I think what is most needed in this match (if it happens) is a strong mentality between both (legendary old boxers vs agile young boxers). I don't know much about Amir Khan, so I don't think this boxer is very well known.

However, it's interesting to watch

[smyslov]

His last loss is very devastating he is very slow then what made him think that he can go toe to toe to a boxer like Amir Khan who is still in his prime although, many of his losses are via knock out Amir is still very fast and still strong, Khan will be a heavy favorite when they clash, I hope Oscar will change his mind this is not good for him.

[leea-1334]

That looks like a picture from a few years ago,,, again he does seem to be the value bet at the moment, maybe he has been doing exactly what Tyson is doing in Covid lockdown and training up and secretly being fit (except the cocaine!).

He knows he is not fast anymore so maybe he bulks up?

[aioc]

That bulk will slow him down if he fights Amir Khan I am a fan of Oscar Dela Hoya he should protect his legacy by not going back to boxing and fighting a boxer like Amir Khan who is still in the prime of his career even though he has a lot of losses, Oscar will have a hard time connecting because of Amir's fast movement, he knows how to fight in a distance.

[Jating]

LMAO, classic verbal jab from Dana White.

I really don't know what's happening on boxing right now, it seems that everyone wanted to comeback. Mike Tyson started the trend, but it is just for exhibition match. Both Oscar and Amir are wash out already, Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore? What weight they are going to fight? Oscar can't make 147 lbs and I don't if he can make 154 lbs, while Amir's highest fighting weight is 155 lbs at a catch weight against Canelo and we all know that he was KO flat on the canvass by Alvarez.

And that picture was probably when Khan won against Maidana, 10 years ago.

[LogitechMouse]

This is like Pacquiao - Thurman fight where there is a huge gap between the ages of the boxers.
I though that De La Hoya retired already .

Anyway, this is just money talks as always. Golden Boy will not go back to the ring if it wasn't for the money. His prime years are over already. I'm not judging here since we don't know what can happen if they will really fight but there is a higher chance that Khan will win this even though he suffered a lot of losses in his past fights (the most memorable one is his lost against Alvarez).

There is a trend now where fighters who retired are going back to the ring for some reasons . Tyson did it first and so is De La Hoya. Who will be the next one?? Hatton possible or Mayweather.

[Russlenat]

Good for him, I thought Pacman already made him retired for good.

I'd love to see him fight and against Amir Khan, I'd go for Oscar De La Hoya if the odds are good against a glass chin Amir Khan. If Oscar wins and challenge Mayweather, that would be a hell of a fight if it will happe as their last outing was really entertaining, I even though Oscar won that fight.

[Vaculin]

This age difference is certainly the biggest thing because somewhere it would not be justifiable, as Aamir would be fit as per his age and it is his playing age while for Hoya it is to rest but still having the fight with so much younger one. Hope the fight does not become one sided and we can see some tough match.

It would not be, Oscar De La Hoya knows how Amir Khan fight, and the fact that he want to fight Amir Khan, that means he is confident.
A young Oscar De La Hoya  would KO Amir Khan easiy, so  Amir Khan here should not be so confident as Oscar is a fighter.

If Oscar wins and challenge Mayweather,.....

How about Manny? No?

[Saisher]

Oscar has nothing to prove anymore and his misconception that fighters are good in the old days will not do him good, he is past his prime, he likes to be Manny Pacquiao but this is putting himself in danger against someone like Amir Khan who is still dangerous someone close to him should advise Oscar.

[eaLiTy]

Interesting was comment from UFC Dana White who said  quoting: 'Cocaine isn't cheap'  

Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya are not in good terms for a very long time and whenever they get the opportunity they would swing at each other and the response from Dana White when asked about it was pure gold  . Mike Tyson wanted to come back and now all the fighters who were retired for a decade wanted to make a comeback which is hilarious as everyone is looking to grab the opportunity to make money.

I would not be surprised if we see a veteran champions league for old fighters usually Bellator was giving opportunity for these above 40 fighters in MMA and these fighters need a boxing version of Bellator  .

[lebregone]

This pairing is a little bit too much knowing that De La Hoya already retired while Amir Khan is currently fighting and Khan has most of the advantages aside from titles and experience.

I love to see this fight but if I will be going to bet, I will definitely bet to Khan as I can see a much higher percentage that he will win this match if it will likely to happen.

[Latviand]

Hope the fight does not become one sided and we can see some tough match.

14 years age difference is really not a problem, it is not the advantage of the younger one. It is still the experience and dedication that matters. Don't be too confident about the age, it is the skill and professionalism inside the ring. Remember Pacquiao vs Thurman? Pacman dominated Thurman despite the 10 years gap, it is the speed.

I will still bet on Dela Hoya, probably this fight will be fair for the both sides.

This is a tough match to observe and wait for once it is surely announced, the battle between the two great boxer, the hall of famer Dela Hoya and the soon to be legendary Amir Khan.

[btc_angela]

Oscar De la Hoya - old and retired
Amir Khan - wash up fighter

So who you gonna choose between the two? 

I don't think that Oscar has no money though, he had built an empire which is Golden Boy Promotions. I would understand Amir and I think if this is true, then probably another Mike Tyson exhibition type of match and not a real and competitive fight and there's no comeback, just one fight and that's it.

The retried boxers like La Hoya or Myke Tyson may gain fame again by coming back on the stage but they need to proof themselves that they have the same stamina and energy. It will be difficult to perform as they did before because of lack of match practice.

[Fundamentals Of]

This fight does not sound attractive. Mike Tyson is about to return to the ring but does not actually make a comeback to his professional boxing career. It ended when he retired. He is just going to do his upcoming match with Roy Jones Jr. for charity.

If the old golden boy is going to make a comeback not in the name of a charity or fundraising, he better reconsider his decision. If I were Oscar, I'd rather inspire, train, promote, and help young fighters realize their dreams inside the ring than steal the show from them.

Oscar's golden time is done. The next generation of boxers should now takeover. The same might be true for Amir Khan.

[Rosilito]

-

Gonna stick with this then, since it was not yet certain. It is obviously just a money game, or whatever scheme they're upto. It is just kinda obvious that Amir Khan is on the edge here. 14 years age gap? And on top of that he's already 11 years retired from this sport. He is just fooling himself in this match then. But whatever, he knew himself better, he might be needing the benefit he'll get from returning to the ring again so badly . Who knows?

[Baofeng]

Worst decision of Oscar if he really decides to make a comeback (and not just hyping boxing fans). He is too old for this. I don't simply agree with this decision. Manny is doing it at age 40 because he is active. But we can't say that about Oscar, you just have to look at his picture. Here is Oscar's statement about his boxing return.

[Ryker1]

Oscar De la Hoya - old and retired
Amir Khan - wash up fighter

So who you gonna choose between the two? 

Well, that was look likes ^{[age does not matter]} perfect match. Perhaps only his mind says he is strong fighter but the fact, Amir Khan is young and very aggressive to the career. But does not matter, as long as De la Hoya can able to give punches Amir perhaps needs also to be prepared. Let see what will happen to this fight. It looks like very interesting fight, perhaps, De la Hoya here is an underdog of this match.

[hulla]

After Mike Tyson come back announcement a lot of boxers that once announced to have hanged up their gloves decide to come back to the ring of fight, I heard about Holyfield a couple of weeks and now is Oscar De La Hoya.

Dana White's statement was well understood because after some years of no fight Oscar De La Hoya decides to come back and decided to fight against a stronger opponent.
In the meantime, time without risk no exists and that what Oscar De La Hoya is planning to do.

[Sanitough]

This is a different scenario, De La Hoya coming back but fighting a younger fighter, way younger as more than 10 years younger than him.
I like to see if he still has something to give by beating a younger fighter like Pacman has been doing lately.

Dana White's statement was well understood because after some years of no fight Oscar De La Hoya decides to come back and decided to fight against a stronger opponent.

I think Oscar has always been making money despite not fighting because he has been actively promoting fights with his Golden Boy Promotion, and being a promoter that means you need to have a good capital in order to finance a fight.

[Shasha80]

I believe the reason Oscar De La Hoya is going back to the ring is because of money issues, as Dana White said "Cocaine isn't cheap".
Especially against Amir Khan, who has a very large age difference, it is like a father against his son. This fights different generation's 
very interesting to see. Of course I will bet on Amir Khan's victory, which is very clearly superior in terms of stamina and speed.

We dont know on whats up to their minds on why they have decided to make a comeback considering that they have already hang up their gloves or retire.Dont know if they are just trying to go along with the hype or
it did really poke out their interest on having a come back in spite of their age.I dont see for it to be that effective anymore unless if they would go back in time and do fight when they are still on their prime but now
their body gets older then i dont see for it to fit out to be beaten up inside the ring.About on Oscar and Amir Khan fight then i would bet for Amir here, if we do consider up the age then we can say
on which one do have edge but we dont know if Dela hoya do still make up some training actively after he retired.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I believe the reason Oscar De La Hoya is going back to the ring is because of money issues, as Dana White said "Cocaine isn't cheap".

Money might not be the only motivation, Oscar De La Hoya is a boxing promoter as well and he will be making money doing that, the rivalry between Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya is well known and he was commenting regarding that and more over the pandemic has changed many minds and now everyone wanted to explore more.

You're absolutely right cause De La Hoya taking an active younger fighter as an opponent was a way for him to keep himself in check and if he lost the fight he will able to learn a pretty hard lesson.

I'm pretty aware of the situation and his Golden Boy Promotions was among the reason he hanged up his gloves early and was said to be the first American of Mexican to own a boxing promotional company.

We absolutely can't know what's on their mind but I somehow believe the statement which Deontay Wilder said about Tyson before his previous fight with Fury was what unleashed the comeback of these old fighters.

More on money matters, as in his age against to a much younger and active boxer his chance is slim.
But the fight will still show good entertainment knowing De La Hoya when he's inside the rign, he will keep trying to accomplish
and he's going to try if there's possibility for him to win.

[robelneo]

No way Oscar is just a shadow of the shadow of himself 20 years ago it's ok for an exhibition match but not in a professional match, people have seen how he is badly beaten by Pacquiao in his last fight and every time I see it on Youtube I pity Oscar.
I don't know what condition he is in, he can't last even in a 5 round fight again of all fighter Amir Khan who is still a hungry fighter.

[chaser15]

A suicide match for me. Amir Khan is still on his shape and currently active as a boxer.

14 years age gap is not an issue if he's still on his boxing active career.

The Golden Boy is really interested to make a comeback lol. ""The rumours are true, and I'm going to start sparring in the next few weeks."

[GreatArkansas]

If ever this match will happen, these are the current boxing records of these two boxers.
Their age is really far, 47 years for Oscar De La Hoya while 33 for Amir Khan.

Last match of Oscar De La Hoya was last 2008 and it was a lost, while Amir Khan was last year only.
So this is kinda far different, De La Hoya is less active in term of professional boxing fights.
Only the wins and KOs for Oscar De La Hoya is the advantage for me on here.

Two months or three months of preparation will not help him with 12 years of long lay off and an aged knee it will not help him with his fight if Amir Khan battle a young DeLa Hoya he will be knock out but at 47 I don;t hink he can still do it, he admit in one interviews that in his last fight the mind wants but the body is slow to respond I don't think it will now.

that was last fight but its possible that he change now , he trains regularly after that bad experience happen to him because of long rest and lack of training and now he is expecting a fight with younger oponnent , he will train more harder this time .  two to three months is a lot    .

the match here reminds me of the matches before because theres also a difference on age but they prove that age doesnt hinders them .

[jademaxsuy]

Well yeah this is must be an exciting fight to see a match between the young once and the once young but a veteran fighter. We could still see De La Hoya dance in the ring for who knows the strength and his power is still there. In other physical sports like wrestling.old guys still playing there like.in the times of hulk hugan and the undertaker. But wrestling is not an official fight unless they say it so because they just wanted a pure entertainment.

Interesting was comment from UFC Dana White who said  quoting: 'Cocaine isn't cheap'  

LOL, what made cocaine an expensive thing. I guess it really is expensive because more people get destroyed by it especially the rich people getting addicted to it. Sad life that even they know or educated about drugs still they take it for granted and tried it. Now their life is in despair because of that thing.

[yazher]

Well, I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, if he wants to fight an exhibition match, he should have chosen some retired boxers that have the same popularity that he has. Anyway, this is not official yet they can still think about it now. Amir Khan is an active boxer and Oscar has not been in his shape since he lost to Manny. I think he needs to fight someone who is not active to make this fight pair. I miss those days when he fought Mayorga.

[Kemarit]

Oh poor Oscar, money is draining as fast as he can make? But Dana's verbal jab is way below man. Two grown up man squabbling because they are at odds? If Oscar is going to make a comeback fight then it should be vs Dana White. That will be a classic. LOL.

And with so many retired fighters making a comeback, It just shows that boxing maybe dead in this pandemic. Do you guys agree?

[Yaunfitda]

And with so many retired fighters making a comeback, It just shows that boxing maybe dead in this pandemic. Do you guys agree?

No, I don't think that boxing is dead, all sports are suffering from the pandemic but it doesn't mean that they are dying. Oscar's reason is that he missed boxing, Pacquaio already gave him a beating, so I don't know how can he missed boxing for that. It was reported that the has a net worth of $200 million https://www.sportscasting.com/oscar-de-la-hoya-used-his-massive-net-worth-to-buy-a-pro-soccer-team/. So that's a lot of money to buy cocaine.

The struggle is not on boxing only, the entertainment industry are struggling now due to the pandemic.
I would love this one than  Mike vs Hollyfield, Oscar De La Hoya can still fight, he just lose against Manny because Manny is special but Amir Khan is not.

Let's give them a chance, besides, it's not them who will dictate if people will watch or not as probably they have to sell their PPV first with a target amount in order for this fight to be realized.

Oscar  says, if you don't fight, I will, lol.. kidding...

You're absolutely right cause De La Hoya taking an active younger fighter as an opponent was a way for him to keep himself in check and if he lost the fight he will able to learn a pretty hard lesson.

Actually  Amir Khan was calling for Pacman but he was not given a chance, so since Pacman beat De La Hoya which eventually made him retired, I think he has to show that he can beat De La Hoya first then he will get a shot with Pacman.

Dana White's statement was well understood because after some years of no fight Oscar De La Hoya decides to come back and decided to fight against a stronger opponent.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the plans prior to retirement, but I admire that kind of mentality who have plans after boxing as a fighter as you can't fight forever but you can promote fight after you retire, I think that's the same way Pacman has been following now.

[peter0425]

So "The Golden Boy" Oscar DelaJoya is also coming to be trending like what Mike tyson and Evander Holifield is having now?

i Use to be a fan of Oscar because of His speed and skills but when He Faces Many Pacquiao? i see a different Oscar and it looks like the game is not that serious and only taken for the Money Pot.

anyway lets see what happens when he goes up again the ring and whom he will be facing.

[Natalim]

So "The Golden Boy" Oscar DelaJoya is also coming to be trending like what Mike tyson and Evander Holifield is having now?

Yes, they are coming out from retirement, let's expect Floyd to come out also, soon. (hopefully).

He should have not quite right away, it was a mismatch, David vs Goliath fight but if Oscar choose to continue, he can still fight boxers at his height and not as fast as Manny. Khan should be a good match to him.

[btc78]

Oscar De La Hoya is following Myke Tyson and he announced possible return to boxing at his 47 year.
His potential opponent is Amir Khan who called him out before to come back.

De La Hoya won 11 world titles with 39 wins and 6 loses
Amir Khan is much younger, 33 years old, with 34 wins and 5 loses.

I think it is crazy to fight at his age with 14 years younger active boxer.

Lol but that is far from reality mate,"Having the same stamina and energy'? are you serious?these boxers are retired and aged already so how come that you can expect them to same as when they are still in Good shape?

what they need to do is to prove they can still stand in Boxing ring and can fight willingly,Win or lose it doesn't matter what maybe the important thing is they can make the fans shout again in their favor.

[Sadlife]

It would take even a lot of time preparing to recover his former body form, and to be able to endure those hard punches, his will is strong but his body would easily crumble to a tough opponent. It would be insane that he could regain some of his punching power in just 8 weeks. He's so out of the game for a very long time, just stay where you are or you're definitely just gonna take some beating.

[Twinkledoe]

Worst decision of Oscar if he really decides to make a comeback (and not just hyping boxing fans). He is too old for this. I don't simply agree with this decision. Manny is doing it at age 40 because he is active. But we can't say that about Oscar, you just have to look at his picture. Here is Oscar's statement about his boxing return.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/29698240/oscar-de-la-hoya-47-says-ending-retirement-resume-boxing-career

From the looks of it, he doesn't have it anymore. The training period is not enough for him to attain even half of his original power inside the ring. Maybe. But let's see... Why are retired old boxers are going back inside the ring, whether for an exhibition match or actual fight? What's in it for them? Redemption or Money or both?

[sunsilk]

There's this force that made him want to come back as Tyson and Roy will have their match soon. I find ESPN's headline is funny.

Oscar De La Hoya, 47, says he's ending retirement to resume boxing career

[target]

Legends are trying to make a comeback, they really must have needed the money just as Dana said. Hard to believe though that De la Hoya is on coke.

It's easy to make money in promoting fighters that are well known, there wouldn't be a hype needed because the media itself will cover them. Its a win-win situation for both just like the come back of Myke and Jones.

[Fundamentals Of]

And with so many retired fighters making a comeback, It just shows that boxing maybe dead in this pandemic. Do you guys agree?

No, I don't think that boxing is dead, all sports are suffering from the pandemic but it doesn't mean that they are dying. Oscar's reason is that he missed boxing, Pacquaio already gave him a beating, so I don't know how can he missed boxing for that. It was reported that the has a net worth of $200 million https://www.sportscasting.com/oscar-de-la-hoya-used-his-massive-net-worth-to-buy-a-pro-soccer-team/. So that's a lot of money to buy cocaine.

Even if boxing has already started to recover with new matches having just staged, it is not the kind of boxing that we used loved before the pandemic. A boxing match with no live noisy crowd is not the same kind of boxing.

Oscar's reason is very shallow and obviously just an alibi. This is surely about money. Missing boxing is one thing. Getting out of retirement and back into his professional career is another.

But let him fight professionally once again and be badly beaten by a much younger fighter so that he will finally realize that his golden days are now gone.

[harizen]

The reason it become stupid, worst, or uninterested to others is because Oscar Dela Hoya is not just stepping out of retirement for an exhibition match or what but he is really aiming to be active again in boxing.

In other words, a boxing career, real boxing, and that are the reason why he called out for a boxer that is still on prime.

I thought first that this is just the same as doings of the other legends that want to come back at the ring but it's different since it will be a professional record match. Count me now on those people that considering Dela Hoya's idea as stupid.

Its indeed stupid and i didnt even expect for him to have that kind of decision on where this day he do make up some decision to go back in trail just like theres nothing happened without even considering on how old he is, he did have some time to think off first about that matter or just simply ignore it?

Its understandable if it would be an exhibition match but this one do go with the on actual professional match.Whats up to his mind? Fighting a boxer on his prime for his comeback to be noticeable?
 

[MCobian]

To be honest I was quite surprised some boxing legends decided to come back, I don't know what the cause is. But this is good news
for boxing fans, they can see their idols fight again. Although his performance might not be as good as when he was young. I am quite
curious about the Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan boxing match, as the age difference is quite large. Amir Khan should be able to win
easily, because he is at the peak of his career right now.It's a tough fight for Oscar De La Hoya.

[peter0425]

So "The Golden Boy" Oscar DelaJoya is also coming to be trending like what Mike tyson and Evander Holifield is having now?

Yes, they are coming out from retirement, let's expect Floyd to come out also, soon. (hopefully).

Yeah i have been waiting for Mayweather to comeback and make another fight against manny.

i Use to be a fan of Oscar because of His speed and skills but when He Faces Many Pacquiao? i see a different Oscar and it looks like the game is not that serious and only taken for the Money Pot.

anyway lets see what happens when he goes up again the ring and whom he will be facing.

He should have not quite right away, it was a mismatch, David vs Goliath fight but if Oscar choose to continue, he can still fight boxers at his height and not as fast as Manny. Khan should be a good match to him.

Khan is much better but lets see whats the promoter will provide ,But i doubt if he could still fight like what he was in the past 10 years.

[Vaculin]

Yeah i have been waiting for Mayweather to comeback and make another fight against manny.

Both of them will get a good paycheck if they will give this fight to the fans, unfortunately, it looks like Mayweather is not interested to fight Manny, he might be seeing himself losing this fight, so let's give a guy a rest and continue to fight an exhibition fight with mismatch opponent.

Khan is much better but lets see whats the promoter will provide ,But i doubt if he could still fight like what he was in the past 10 years.

We will never know unless we see it.

let's see who will be the winner, before that I will choose Oscar De La Hoya who will be the winner of this match because I see the strength and preparation of Oscar De La Hoya is very good, just waiting for the match broadcast time will definitely be a very exciting game .

[hulla]

After Mike Tyson come back announcement a lot of boxers that once announced to have hanged up their gloves decide to come back to the ring of fight, I heard about Holyfield a couple of weeks and now is Oscar De La Hoya.

This is a different scenario, De La Hoya coming back but fighting a younger fighter, way younger as more than 10 years younger than him.
I like to see if he still has something to give by beating a younger fighter like Pacman has been doing lately.

You're absolutely right cause De La Hoya taking an active younger fighter as an opponent was a way for him to keep himself in check and if he lost the fight he will able to learn a pretty hard lesson.

Actually  Amir Khan was calling for Pacman but he was not given a chance, so since Pacman beat De La Hoya which eventually made him retired, I think he has to show that he can beat De La Hoya first then he will get a shot with Pacman.

Oh yeah, thank you for reminding me this and I guess this was the reason De La Hoya choose Amir as him comeback fight opponet in other for him to completely know what he lose during his retirement maybe the next thing for him is to control his boxing career cause is about his love for boxing not the money.

Dana White's statement was well understood because after some years of no fight Oscar De La Hoya decides to come back and decided to fight against a stronger opponent.
In the meantime, time without risk no exists and that what Oscar De La Hoya is planning to do.

I think Oscar has always been making money despite not fighting because he has been actively promoting fights with his Golden Boy Promotion, and being a promoter that means you need to have a good capital in order to finance a fight.

I'm pretty aware of the situation and his Golden Boy Promotions was among the reason he hanged up his gloves early and was said to be the first American of Mexican to own a boxing promotional company.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the plans prior to retirement, but I admire that kind of mentality who have plans after boxing as a fighter as you can't fight forever but you can promote fight after you retire, I think that's the same way Pacman has been following now.

You're right but Pacman seems to spend him time on his son boxing career and his job as Senate.

hoya need money badly for his habits , thats why he is hungry for a win  but you shouldnt be confident because you dont know if what are the surprise of other boxer .

 his age is also one of his advantage for this fight but thats better atleast we know a few of thier strengths , that shall make the fight more exciting and fans cant wait for this to start .

[rhomelmabini]

Does it involve belt to be won? If so, I think Khan will be more motivated to defeat the Golden Boy. Well, if not by belt then it's all about money, the pandemic really hurts some boxers butt to the edge that announced they will fight for glory again.

What can I say, it's too odd for the Golden Boy and his chance of winning was not even at 30, just my two cents.

I don't think some belts are on the line since this is most likely some exhibition fight. Anyway, his fight will likely turn into boring match since those two boxers are not supposed to fight each other base on their current situations. As I said before, Oscar needs to look for someone who is not like Khan because he is no longer that popular anymore since he has lost a couple of times. If they want to pursue this, then I don't really bother to watch it since the result will be pretty obvious, Oscar's body is not fit for boxing fight anymore. in his current state, he will lose this fight for sure.

As mentioned that this one would be different since he's been aiming for professional counted bout which means it would really involved some belt on this one unlike other popping out boxing events
on where they are just purely an exhibition but this one is different.

Yeah its too odd and at the same time its just stupid that he do think that he can beat out someone on his prime compared to him that already aged that much?
But well its his own body and if he do really confidently believe on his boxing then so be it.

Oscar De la Hoya - old and retired
Amir Khan - wash up fighter

So who you gonna choose between the two? 

Well, that was look likes ^{[age does not matter]} perfect match. Perhaps only his mind says he is strong fighter but the fact, Amir Khan is young and very aggressive to the career. But does not matter, as long as De la Hoya can able to give punches Amir perhaps needs also to be prepared. Let see what will happen to this fight. It looks like very interesting fight, perhaps, De la Hoya here is an underdog of this match.

Are you kidding me? How can you say that this is a perfect match? Dela Hoya can't punch or he way past his prime day and we have seen that in the Manny Pacquiao fight. Nothing is interesting here, Oscar need to remain retired and fully focus as boxing promoter. As for Amir Khan, again, he is wash up already and just chasing money fights before he retires.

Oscar can't punch against Manny Pacquiao but he can definitely give a good fight to Amir Khan, I'll bet on that, if there's a line available now, I might take them already in favor of De La Hoya. I'm being serious here as I believe De La Hoya is worth risking your money as he never quit, except on Manny.

[coin-investor]

He cannot punch as strong like when he is still young, all this years he never realized that boxers body is hard to keep what the minds wants, he maybe like to fight boxers in this generation, but unfortunately he cannot keep up anymore and he will just hurt his body and his ego as well if he pushes.

[btc78]

Khan is much better but lets see whats the promoter will provide ,But i doubt if he could still fight like what he was in the past 10 years.

Every old fighter will lose their best performance when they are getting old, and that is what happens with all fighters. They say that they are still in the top performance, but they can not deny that their stamina will not be the same as a young age. I also doubt that he could still fight better like what he did in the past, but I think he still has the power to fights in the ring.

What important here is that They still wanted to entertain people even when they are already in their older time.
Imagine how this Boxers will still bring their opponent down since their stamina and power had fade over the years .
I wish there will be no accident or bad that happens to them trying to knockout each other to win the game.

[erikoy]

Both fighters are explosive and their fighting skills are almost the same but Amir Kha has the power punch that could knock out De La Hoya in this match. High chances that Amir Khan could win in first few rounds but if it will reaches to 7-12 rounds then it will be in favor to De La Hoya. The strategy here for De La Hoya to win is through later rounds of boxing by conserving punches or energy for the later rounds.

What important here is that They still wanted to entertain people even when they are already in their older time.

Yes, this is just sports and it should not result to any injuries or something and that is the job of tge referee to make sure every players will be alright after the game. In the end all we wanted from both boxers is entertainment pretty sure this game is explosive especially Amir Khan.

It will not be entertaining is dela Hoya is not bringing his A game on the table. Amir Khan is extremely fast during his prime, but since he is also on the downside of this career, I don't know if he still has that explosiveness. I think Oscar chooses him because Amir Khan is known for his glass jaw, china chin that if anyone touches it, he is going to be knock out or knock down. But still is not as entertaining, just another joke fight, to be honest.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Amir Khan is a joke with a glass jaw, I really wouldn't be surprised if Oscar De La Hoya beats him. Even at his age, De La Hoya probably has more skills than Khan.

At least, Amir Khan younger than dela Hoya, which could have the potential to win in that match. Both fighters will try hard to give their best, but it will depend on how they can provide a punch at the right time. Amir Khan and dela Hoya is a fighter that we know have good stamina before, but dela Hoya already retired from boxing for eleven years, so although he still has power, I doubt he can still like before.

Age doesn't matter though in boxing, I'm sure you are familiar with Pacquaio winning against Keith Thurman. You may be young, but if you yourself has a weakness, in this case, a weak chin like Amir Khan, it doesn't matter if who touches it. If you still not convince how weak his chin is, look at Breidis Prescott destroying Khan (Amir's first lost), Canelo obliterating him in one punch, or even against Maidana, (he got lucky he got the win). I think you got my point.

Actually we can't compare De la Hoya to Pacman as his guy is having a success and active in boxing, but De la Hoya is not, he retired due to a lose from  Manny and he was in active for a while, and now wants to come back against a younger fighter? He must be too confident,

[goaldigger]

Amir Khan is a joke with a glass jaw, I really wouldn't be surprised if Oscar De La Hoya beats him. Even at his age, De La Hoya probably has more skills than Khan.

Looks like another monetary fight just to show the world that De La Hoya can still fight and can still make money. A younger Amir can still snatch this fight so let's see if this will be a good one or a just a previous fight of De La Hoya with Manny where he didn't punch that much. De La Hoya have the skills and experience, but Amir is young and can also fight. This will be a hard pick to me, but I'll go with De La Hoya for a unanimous decision.

Wow, that's a risky pick. I'd probably follow you on that if the odds for De La Hoya  to win is +300 or more.
As a boxing fan, we know that  De La Hoya is one of the greatest in boxing, but he retired last 2008 and has not fought for more or less 12 years.

That's too risky to gamble and bet on him, but like I said, I would follow if the odds is very attractive.

I can understand why more boxing fans voted for Oscar De La Hoya's win. Even though the age difference between Oscar De La Hoya and
Amir Khan is quite far. Sometimes being younger does not guarantee victory in boxing matches. Experiences and skills in boxing is very
influential to be able to win fight, and De La Hoya has that.

Where can I get that stats regarding who has more votes for the Golden Boy rather than Khan? He has the experience but the time he didn't get on the ring for a long time it should have changed of him.

I'd still rooting for the younger one to win this fight.

Based on the skills and experience De La Hoya is indeed above its opponent but the ring has its four side and anything can happen though the odds is high for De La Hoya. Where can I place my bet for this fight so I can also enjoy watching the game? Anyway, I will also go for De La Hoya and hoping nothing serious can happen to him because of his age.

Forget about his age, he is only 47 years old, and we have seen some fighter who even fight at 50's, one example is Bernard Hopkins, and if you like a complete list, you can check this link . https://www.oldest.org/sports/professional-boxers/

This match-up is just pure speculation and it's only Amir Khan who is calling Dela Hoya to fight him. IMO, this match won't push through so there will be betting odds for this one. Dela Hoya said he want a competitive fight, Sergio Martinez would be a good opponent for him.

So with that statement, does it mean he can't fight Amir Khan because the fighter is younger and active, while  Sergio Martinez  is 45 years old so he can give a toe to toe fight?  

[DarkDays]

Even though De La Hoya is pushing 50, he was one of the greatest to ever do it in his prime.

Amir Khan, on the other hand, was good, but few would argue he is great. He's not going to go down with the hall of famers.

Although De La Hoya hasn't been active for a decade, he's still been balls-deep in the industry ever since, and has been keeping fit and active at the same time. He's also naturally bigger than Khan with more power and better reach. It's definitely going to be a tale of power vs speed.

I think it's a fair fight, but I'd have to give the slight edge to the younger man. Khan is almost at championship level now, it will be hard for a 47-year old to beat him. Even De La Hoya is no George Foreman.

What i mean is that there is no contract yet for this match-up, no schedule or whatsoever. For now people are just speculating on who will win if they were to fight but if ever this would push through i will have Amir Khan as the favorite because he is much younger than Oscar and active.  He may have a fragile chin but Oscar's power is not like when he was young and he will have problem chasing Khan as the latter is more mobile than him. Just my opinion though but i would put my money in Khan if this would push through.

Exactly, nothing is finalised yet so everything is base on speculation. For me I would like to see:

(a) what weight they are going to fight? Oscar can't go and drain himself again to 147 lbs, it should be like 154 lbs at least. Can Amir Khan handle that weight though? Or it is going to be in a catchweight

(b) who will train Oscar? Will Nacho or Floyd Sr or even Roach?

So with that statement, does it mean he can't fight Amir Khan because the fighter is younger and active, while  Sergio Martinez  is 45 years old so he can give a toe to toe fight? 

What i mean is that there is no contract yet for this match-up, no schedule or whatsoever. For now people are just speculating on who will win if they were to fight but if ever this would push through i will have Amir Khan as the favorite because he is much younger than Oscar and active.  He may have a fragile chin but Oscar's power is not like when he was young and he will have problem chasing Khan as the latter is more mobile than him. Just my opinion though but i would put my money in Khan if this would push through.

Exactly, nothing is finalised yet so everything is base on speculation. For me I would like to see:

(a) what weight they are going to fight? Oscar can't go and drain himself again to 147 lbs, it should be like 154 lbs at least. Can Amir Khan handle that weight though? Or it is going to be in a catchweight

(b) who will train Oscar? Will Nacho or Floyd Sr or even Roach?

In my opinion, Dela Hoya should forget coming back to boxing. His present shape is not suitable in this rigid sports. Let them give the ring to younger generation. Their time has already passed. If he is truly sincere in returning, he should be training hard like never before. Else, I don't think it's worth to take his chance and give disappointment to his fans.

Based on the skills and experience De La Hoya is indeed above its opponent but the ring has its four side and anything can happen though the odds is high for De La Hoya.

Of course I would also do bet on Khan if the odds are good, but if I'm getting like 1.20 or even 1.30 on Khan, forget about it, I would pick Oscar to win the fight, who knows this old man still has something to show and surprise the fans, besides, Khan is not as impressive as people think.

But you are right, all of these are still an speculation unless both fighters sign a contract and begin training.

[stomachgrowls]

Even though De La Hoya is pushing 50, he was one of the greatest to ever do it in his prime.

Amir Khan, on the other hand, was good, but few would argue he is great. He's not going to go down with the hall of famers.

Although De La Hoya hasn't been active for a decade, he's still been balls-deep in the industry ever since, and has been keeping fit and active at the same time. He's also naturally bigger than Khan with more power and better reach. It's definitely going to be a tale of power vs speed.

I think it's a fair fight, but I'd have to give the slight edge to the younger man. Khan is almost at championship level now, it will be hard for a 47-year old to beat him. Even De La Hoya is no George Foreman.

Some say that age doesnt matter but we know that this is a  great factor that can really affect someones performance specially if you're body isnt already on the condition just like when you are still on your prime.

There would be someone  whose younger, faster, tougher and have that stamina.Body do degrade as we age and thats normal and with  that alone we can already  give out considerations to the young man.

He might be known  in the past about his greatness but the time had passed for him and doesnt need to prove out something or would go back to  industry.Its just too much or not really that necessary
unless he need money badly.

Personally, i think that De La Hoya should just enjoy his retirement from boxing and live his life. After all, he made his name well-known already and there's no need to prove himself once again to the public.

This will just put him into the losing end since he's already retired and his boxing match, Amir is an active boxer, not to add that he's younger. Meaning, the latter has a higher stamina and endurance than him. On the other hand, dedication and determination while practicing and on the actual fight are what matters most.

I just hope this match would be a nice fight between the two. If there are some of you who want to bet among them, make sure you assess everything not just the age, but their experience and the work they put to win as well.

I hope de la Hoya realized that boxing is not in his game anymore. There is no reason to go back in my opinion, other than the fact that maybe money is one major reason why he wanted to get inside the ring. But yes, he should really enjoy his retirement and not be bothered by other old boxers getting exhibition fights.

Who are we to tell him that? He knows what he is doing, and he will not choose an opponent he think would destroy him physically.
Khan is a good suspect because he has a soft chin, so maybe that's what Oscar De La Hoya is looking for, if he get this shot, game is over.

There is no reason to go back in my opinion, other than the fact that maybe money is one major reason why he wanted to get inside the ring. But yes, he should really enjoy his retirement and not be bothered by other old boxers getting exhibition fights.

Every boxer has their own reason, some just relax and enjoy their wealth they acquired during their time in boxing, but for the love of sport, some fighters like Oscar De La Hoya  are looking for a shot to fight again, and that is not only because of love by the way, that's because he think he is still capable of fighting. Give him a chance man.

I am among those who are disappointed with De La Hoya's decision to return to the boxing ring, even though De La Hoya is a boxer who
ended his career well. If he is now pushing back to be active in the world of boxing just for the sake of money, as many people thought.
It's a pity that it might make his reputation bad. But everyone is free to decide what is best for his life. So we'd better respect the decision
De La Hoya has made. Because I am a De La Hoya fan, I will bet on victory for De La Hoya.

Yeah, I made a quick search and yes it was Amir Khan teased to fight after a knock out win againsy Billy Dib in June 2019. De La Hoya has no answer yet if he will going to comeback from retiring the sports of boxing.

If this will push through then pretty sure De La Hoya has higher chance to lose in this bout because he has been aging and this is his disadvantage. In boxing age is consider because as we grow older we may be able to experiencing aching unlike in the younger years in life.

However, I will just wish that De La Hoya will going to somehow say something about this Amir Khan teasing him for a probable boxing bout.

[TravelMug]

We will see, after this news, we haven't heard a follow up so it's either they are trying to negotiate the fight or maybe this is just Oscar, and we might hear it from him that he had change his decisions and will no longer pursue his comeback because it doesn't really make sense for him at this stage.

I still remember back then that there are news that Oscar will fight Ricky Hatton,

I use to be a Fan of the Golden Boy in His time above the ring,always Betting for His side even sometimes he fought against my country man.
Not until when  he Faces Manny Pacquiao in which i changed sides because i see the Skills and ability of Manny that can Beat him bad and yeah it happens.

Now that from Retirement is now coming back to fight?(yeah like what Mike tyson did and the humor that Holifield will do the same) I think i will pass for this one.

though he is still Young compared to the 2 legend i mentioned yet before he retires i saw how he changed in His movement and power.


I will go for Amir Khan this time.

does manny Pacquiao lives or represent or your own country ? the boxer is famous compare to other local boxers .

its expected that you and your country mens are also going to vote for him but it does hurt a little when other local boxers fight for your country and you wont support them . this isnt only for the sake of money if we are bettors , we can skip betting for a while .

When it comes to betting and putting a sizable amount, the last thing I would look is, "is the boxer fighting for my country?", yes, it should be it because this is betting and betting is business, you don't look at that factor more, you look at the skills of the fighter and see if he has the advantage over the other.

The right thing to do as we are talking of "sizable amount" here. However for me, I mostly support my fellow man everything they fight in big venue like the US for the reason that they are mostly underdog and I like the value I'm seeing as I know Filipinos are warriors in the ring.

Enough talk about that, I think Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan is not final yet, anyone knows the latest update on this?

So far there are no other updates besides on that August 20 news but i do follow their twitter account

But i guess this fight isnt still clear if it would push through.

[DarkDays]

As we just saw with Dillian Whyte vs Povetkin, the older, stronger man can win.

In this case, it's going to be a mirror image of that. De La Hoya is by no means slow (even in his late 40s) and he's still got considerable power.

Perfect for knocking out glass chin Khan.

It's either points win for Khan, or KO for old man De La Hoya.

I think we would like to see the KO win, so it's gonna be from De La Hoya.

I like how people speculate, but so far with the old fighters planning to come back, I still haven't seen one fight yet.
Maybe after seeing Tyson vs Hollyfield (if the fight will push through), I might believe that this fight is for real.

[lionheart78]

I think we would like to see the KO win, so it's gonna be from De La Hoya.

Well, this is very possible considering the glass jaw/chin of Amir.  Amir looks so great until his weakness was exposed.  Poor defense, not much of a punching power.  If Amir won't work out his defense, he will be possibly crashed in this fight.

That's only one possibility, on the other end, Oscar De La Hoya  could also be injured in this fight as his body is not active anymore in boxing, well, maybe he still is but in the gym only, not in real ring and real competition.

I think Amir Khan here calling any popular boxer just to gain him popularity and money.

Called Manny and didn't get the fight, can't remember if he also call Mayweather, but if he get this fight, he would be lucky as Oscar De La Hoya is popular, he will gain some popularity though this is not a title fight.

But i guess this fight isnt still clear if it would push through.

I guess either team wouldn't want to face each other due to the fact that De La Hoya is old enough to compete against Khan. Although it may be just an exhibition match just like Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr but both teams haven't done talking about it yet. 2021 is nearly coming but the decision is not made yet I guess this is all just a hint for the team De La Hoya to reconsider fighting someone.

When rumors do really come out then thats already some hint that the fight might really happen and they will really just test it out if it do really sells or does really have that much of interest.

No one can really conclude these kind of decisions but only on the promoters itself.Just take for example on what happened on that Naoya and Casimero fight on where people or majority is already
having those high hopes that it will happen this year but the decision was made on the opposite way.

This might happen on this one too but for an exhibition match then probably we would able to witness it but for now take with a grain of salt.
