Roy Jones Jr says Oscar De La Hoya knew he wouldn't beat Floyd Mayweather Jr

In a recent two part interview conducted by Doghouse Boxing's very own Benny Henderson Jr. with Roy Jones Jr., Benny got some interesting responses to some equally interesting questions. Jones Jr. was very articulate with his responses.  It was a pleasure to read both parts of the interview and you can visit our homepage to read both parts. Trust me when I tell you it's chock full of interesting stuff and well worth your time. Jones Jr. hits on so many topics and holds back no punches.

Jones Jr. gave his thoughts on Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. Jones Jr. feels that Oscar knew he could not win that fight and was hoping to get lucky.

Henderson Jr. asked Jones Jr.: "You said that he (Tito Trinidad) is at the end of his career, so in that case do you feel that he is looking for the big one?"

Jones Jr. responded with: "It’s a big one because of the risk but also it is a big one because it is one that people would want to see, and he knows that. He is looking for a big one, but at the same time it is like De La Hoya, to me De La Hoya knew that he could not out box Floyd Mayweather Jr. but it was a big fight and he knew people wanted to see it so he thought that he would try it and hoped that he got lucky."

Jones jr went on to add:  "He knew he would not win but he was going to try to see if he could get lucky. He did not get lucky but he won in every other aspect anyway, he made more money than Mayweather, it was a great publicity stunt for everybody. But Tito is not like him, Tito is going to try to come in and win, he thinks
he has a chance."
