Mayweather vs De la Hola 2?

[Montana]

This past weekend, Golden Boy Promotions rival (and scorned former Mayweather promoter) Bob Arum leaked to the press that a De La Hoya-Mayweather rematch was a âdone dealâ for May 2008. Arum elaborated that De La Hoya was using a potential showdown with Miguel Cotto as leverage in negotiations. Arum took aim at both of his former fighters, claiming De La Hoya would never fight Cotto for fear of a âserious beating,â and Mayweather âjust plays around.â Golden Boy Promtions CEO Richard Schaefer did not deny Arumâs claims, but cautiously claimed the negotiations were far from complete, and that De La Hoya was still considering Cotto and other potential matchups. Good grief. While most give Floyd credit for his exhibition against Oscar last May (in lieu of the fact it was at a weight Money May had no business at), a replay serves no purpose whatsoever. For Mayweather, he is the reigning pound for pound king and champion of a weight class chock full of talented and prime fighters: number one contender Miguel Cotto, and undefeated title holder Paul Williams, for example. At this late stage of his career, Floyd should not be engaged in any more glorified sparring sessions, no matter how high the payday.With De La Hoya, the chances are very slim that he can improve on his performance from a year ago. It will be another year of inactivity, against a fighter that took away his best weapons (his jab and left hook) in a smaller ring and with Reyes gloves (tailor made to help a puncher like De La Hoya). Not to mention Mayweather was able to do this to Oscar at 154 pounds. As stated in the year end review, Oscar needs to stick to promoting and stop the annual âDe La Hoya Sweepstakes.â Heâs given more than enough paydays over the years. While Iâm sure Bob Arum is not telling the whole truth (he admittedly turned down a Mayweather offer to Cotto back in 2005), all parties involved need to get it together. The best fight to be made in boxing is Mayweather-Cotto, period.4 da man sayin mayweather ducks fights LOLWud much rather see da mayweather cotto fight 2 of my fav fighters

f*ck this, I don't think anyone wants to see this fight.Mayweather needs to fight Cotto if anyone

[Guest Robin_Van_PersG]

Don't think they could sell it that well, it would just be a downsized less important repeat of thier last fight. Cottos in pole position but williams and Mayweather would be a great exibition of boxing skills.

Heard Mayweather wants to get involved with MMA with Mark Cuban. Is talk of him either promoting fights with Cuban's tv network or Mayweather actually fighting.

Well it will sell amongst boxing fans for sure, the first fight wasnt conclusive and DLH has a major fan base. But 'cause the first one was so big people will always say that this one flopped

The talk was that he would be a fighter, which is as funny as DLH having a decent chance at winning the 2nd time round.

Man a rematch would be class, he should be fighting cotto tho.Mayweather was on about not fighting for like a year or two aswell.
