[Boxing] Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan?

[Rosilito]

-
Oscar De La Hoya is following Myke Tyson and he announced possible return to boxing
-

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...
