Floyd Mayweather Wants to Fight Oscar De La Hoya Again

Floyd Mayweather has called out Oscar De La Hoya to fight him this September.

“I seen the little thing Oscar talking about he’s coming back. I mean, you know, I mean, if he wants to, we can rock and roll in September,” 

This is pretty ridiculous from Mayweather. Why does he want a fight from a washed-up and overweight De La Hoya? Granted Oscar gave him a tough fight in their 2007 bout, in 2015 I don’t doubt it will be more lopsided than the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.

I can point only two reasons Mayweather is picking Oscar. First, a De La Hoya fight is good business. Until the Mayweather and Pacman’s ‘Fight of the Century’,  Oscar and Mayweather’s 2007 fight held the PPV records. So a rematch for the pair would be wonderful for business.

Secondly, Mayweather wants a safe fight so that he wouldn’t risk his perfect record. Fighting a ring rusting De La Hoya will be a walkover for the Money Man. At 38, fighting a beast like GGG (Gennady Golokvin) would be very tough for Floyd and his tired legs.
