Yesterday in an International Conference Call to hype his upcoming fight with Ricardo Mayorga, Oscar was asked if he had decided if this would be his last fight or not?
Here is what Oscar's response was:
Oscar De La Hoya: Well, I mean my plan is to win this fight in May and have my retirement for September. My official retirement fight's for September 16, which is a date that I've always fought on. You know, we're very focused on this fight here with Mayorga because obviously in boxing, one punch and its over which is always in the back of my mind, but my plan is to do my final fight in September if everything goes well.
My September fight has to be a mega-fight and you know, I've thrown out names like Winky Wright and Mayweather Jr, and now I hear Trinidad is wanting to come back. So, the possibilities are there to, yes to fight the Trinidads and the Wrights and the Floyd Juniors. You know it's a matter of analyzing who is the best opponent out there for me to face. Those three top guys that I mentioned are world-class champions in their own right, and so my September fight if I get past this one will be a mega-fight.
