There\u2019s no pop in his punches, but I wish him the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his last fight, Oscar gave himself very little chance to win, draining himself down to 145 pounds and paying for it against the energetic and aggressive Manny Pacquiao.  After 8 rounds, De La Hoya quit after taking a serious beating and not  being able to react, but prior to that he defeated Steve Forbes (UD-12) and put up a decent fight in a losing effort against Floyd Mayweather, JR.<\/p>\n<p>Chavez, JR\u2019s career has been carefully crafted and he has been maneuvered into an undefeated career.  He has been matched lightly and De La Hoya, even at his advanced age, would most likely win.<\/p>\n<p>There have been constant rumors that De La Hoya was going to return and now it seems inevitable.  He doesn\u2019t want to leave the sport on the Pacquiao fight and he\u2019s got a fighting spirit that all great champions.  It really has never been a question of if he will return, but when he will and it now seems that it will be this year against Chavez, JR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\">Advertise Now On RSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=13198\">Purchase Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1\">Pre-Order the Horror Thriller FAMILY SECRET Now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geno McGahee Oscar De La Hoya, 39-6, 30 KO\u2019s, was the face of boxing for a long time and since his departure, there has been a big gap, but he plans to fill it again, beginning with an insult directed at Julio Cesar Chavez, JR., 42-0-1, 30 KO\u2019s.
